Brief summary

The current prospective study was designed to assess the diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of a novel antigen-based rapid detection test (COVID-VIRO®) on nasopharyngeal specimens in comparison to the reference test in a real-life setting

Detailed description

Two nasopharyngeal swab specimens will be concurrently collected on: * adult patients hospitalized in the Infectious Diseases Department of the Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans (CHRO) for confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection, * or symptomatic or asymptomatic subjects voluntarily accessing the COVID-19 Screening Department of the CHRO to perform a diagnostic test. COVID VIRO® diagnostic. Specificity and sensitivity are assessed in comparison to real-time RT-qPCR results.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTRT-qPCR test

Two concurrent nasopharyngeal swab specimens are collected for each participant. Comparison between RT-qPCR and COVID-VIRO® results of RT-qPCR positive patients is used to assess COVID-VIRO® sensitivity. Conversely, comparison between RT-qPCR and COVID-VIRO® results of RT-qPCR negative patients is used to assess COVID-VIRO® specificity.

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTCOVID-VIRO® test

Two concurrent nasopharyngeal swab specimens are collected for each participant. Comparison between RT-qPCR and COVID-VIRO® results of RT-qPCR positive patients is used to assess COVID-VIRO® sensitivity. Conversely, comparison between RT-qPCR and COVID-VIRO® results of RT-qPCR negative patients is used to assess COVID-VIRO® specificity.

Intervention model description

Two concurrent nasopharyngeal swab specimens are collected for each participant. Comparison between RT-qPCR and COVID-VIRO® results of RT-qPCR positive patients is used to assess COVID-VIRO® sensitivity. Conversely, comparison between RT-qPCR and COVID-VIRO® results of RT-qPCR negative patients is used to assess COVID-VIRO® specificity.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of COVID VIRO® diagnostic specificityMonth 1COVID-VIRO® specificity is calculated using the RT-qPCR results as reference test, according to the following formulas: Specificity (%) = 100 x \[Negative / (Negative + Positive)\]
Evaluation of COVID VIRO® diagnostic sensitivityMonth 1COVID-VIRO® sensitivity is calculated using the RT-qPCR results as reference test, according to the following formulas: Sensitivity (%) = 100 x \[Positive/ (Positive + Negative)\]

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluation of COVID VIRO® diagnostic sensitivity for RT-qPCR Cycle threshold value < or > 28Month 1COVID-VIRO® sensitivity is calculated using the RT-qPCR results, restricting for Cycle threshold value
