point of care evaluation of novir 2019-ncov immunoglobulin g/ immunoglobulin m (igg/igm) antibody test (collodial gold)

Conditions: Covid19

Summary: this clinical study is designed to test the efficacy of the novir 2019-ncov immunoglobulin m/immunoglobulin g antibody test in a point-of-care setting to support the increasing need for rapid screening in the detection of antibodies. the study is performed on individuals who have no history of covid-19 and no history of covid immunization as well as individuals with history of covid-19 that was diagnosed greater than 15 days. this is performed both through 3ml venous whole blood which is ran through an assay as well a point-of-care rapid test which is resulted in 10 minutes. aiding in the rapid detection of covid-19 antibodies.

this clinical study is designed to test the efficacy and robustness of the novir 2019-ncov igm/igg antibody test (colloidal gold) in a point-of-care (poc) setting to support the growing need for rapid screening of patients to detect antibodies. the covid-19 sars-cov igm/igg antibody rapid test is an immunochromatographic lateral flow assay intended for qualitative detection of igm and igg antibodies to sars-cov-2 in human venipuncture and finger stick whole blood. the covid-19 sars-cov igm/igg antibody rapid test is intended for use as an aid in identifying individuals with an adaptive immune response to sars-cov-2, indicating recent or prior infection. at this time, it is unknown for how long antibodies persist following infection and if the presence of antibodies confers protective immunity. results are for the detection of sars cov-2 antibodies. igm and igg antibodies to sars-cov-2 are generally detectable in blood several days after initial infection, although the duration of time antibodies are present post-infection is not well characterized. individuals may have detectable virus present for several weeks following seroconversion. all the results will be compared to an fda eua authorized pcr test results and may also be compared to an fda eua authorized elisa, cmia, or other antibody test. the study results will be used for an eua application to the fda.

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: * must be 21 years old or older. * must be able to provide finger stick and venous whole blood samples. * must be able to understand and sign a consent form. * must be able to provide an additional sample(s) required by the study site for an additional fda eua authorized antibody testing (elisa, cmia, or other antibody test). * has an immediate need to determine covid-19 status for occupational purposes. * was exposed to a covid-19 patient within 7 days that leads the healthcare provider to suspect the individual of possibly having sars-cov-2 infection. * has symptoms that lead the healthcare provider to suspect the individual of possibly having sars-cov-2 infection. * has had a positive fda eua authorized pcr test between 1-28 days with or without symptom expression. * individuals who have tested positive for covid-19 infection and have antibodies detected must have agreed to participate in the mcw tissue bank covid-19 banking project. exclusion criteria: * is receiving treatment with infusion of convalescent plasma or other antibody therapy related to sars-cov-2 infections. * tested negative for covid-19 by pcr more than 7 days ago. * is participating in a sars-cov-2 vaccine study.or received any doses of the available sars-cov-2 vaccines. * previously tested positive for covid-19 at any point in time (for asymptomatic patients enrolling in the negative patient population).
