Project STARFISH - PRJ0002679
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a non-interventional study to perform the clinical performance evaluation of the Starfish Test using prospectively collected matched nasopharyngeal and nasal swab samples from the same donor. In order to meet the minimum sample requirements, and to demonstrate performance on a range of viral strains, the prospective collection may be supplemented with banked remnant nasal and/or nasopharyngeal samples.

Detailed Description
The Applied Biosystems™ TaqPath™ COVID-19, Flu A, Flu B, RSV Select Panel (referred to below as "Starfish Test") aims to develop a multiplex real-time PCR IVD test for the qualitative detection and identification of SARS-CoV-2, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
The purpose of this performance study is to evaluate the clinical performance of the Starfish Test compared with that of a comparator device using upper respiratory specimens from subjects who have provided consent to participate in the study and meet the inclusion criteria. This Clinical Performance Study Protocol (CPS Protocol) outlines the clinical sample collection and testing protocols which will be used to satisfy the FDA 510(k) study requirements in the US.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Primary Endpoint [Between February 2023 and April 2023]
The primary endpoint of this clinical performance study is to meet the minimum sample positivity requirements for nasopharyngeal samples as defined by relevant regulatory guidance. The statistical analysis of minimum PPA and NPA requirements resulted in the following sample numbers: SARS-CoV-2: 70 positive samples by comparator method Influenza A, B, an RSV (A/B): 95 samples by comparator method Negative results: 193 samples by comparator method.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Secondary Endpoint [Between February 2023 and April 2023]
The secondary endpoint of this study is to complete the clinical performance evaluation of the Starfish Test compared with that of a predicate device using Anterior nasal specimens and meet the minimum PPA and NPArequirements and acceptance criteria for each viral target as summarized in Table 1 of this protocol. The statistical analysis of minimum PPA and NPA requirements resulted in the following sample numbers: SARS-CoV-2: 70 positive samples by comparator method Influenza A, B, an RSV (A/B): 95 samples by comparator method Negative results: 193 samples by comparator method.
