The COVID-19 PUI Reality Check (CPRC) Study (CPRC)

March 9, 2022 updated by: Daniel Freilich, MD, Bassett Healthcare

SARS-CoV-2 Specific Immune Responses in Hospitalized Persons Under Investigation (PUIs) With Negative Nasopharyngeal PCR Swabs - The COVID-19 PUI Reality Check (CPRC) Study

This study compares SARS-CoV-2 immune responses in high pretest probability swab negative hospitalized PUI patients vs. low pretest probability swab negative hospitalized APS (Asymptomatic Persons being Screened) patients to try to understand the appropriateness and safety of clinical decisions made in these patient populations based on swab results.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is essentially a two phase blood drawing and immune assays study. Phase 1 will be a single convalescent timing immune retrospective study; phase 2 will include paired samples to increase immune response accuracy in a prospective study. In phase 1, hospitalized PUI and APS patients with negative nasopharyngeal PCR swabs selected by Epic query of Bassett records, will be contacted by telephone (or in person if hospitalized), offered enrollment in the study, and provided informed consent if they're interested. For consented/enrolled patients, routine baseline demographic and clinical data will be obtained by interview (in person or telephone) and/or EMR (Epic) review. These data will be needed to describe baseline characteristics and to assess for predictors of serologic conversion and other immune responses in the two study populations. Up to two to three visits will be required for brief interviews, record review, and blood draws. Phase 1 patients will have visits/blood draws on days 14 and 28 after hospitalization or at 28 days after hospitalization only (-3 days, +60 days) if patients are beyond day 14 at the time of study initiation; phase 2 patients will have visits/blood draws aiming for days 0, 14 (+/- 3 days), and 28 (+/- 3 days) after hospital admission.

Blood will be drawn for SARS-CoV-2 specific immune assays (below). For phase 1 patients, baseline immune assays will not be available as blood is not available for them; thus, for many phase 1 patients, only one of the day 14 and 28 immune assays will be practical. In Phase 2, these procedures will be the same except baseline blood draws will be possible at hospitalization as well. Thus, blood drawing will be at target days 0, 14, and 28 for phase 2 patients. Short interviews at days 14 and 28 will be conducted to assess for new COVID-19 compatible illnesses that may confound immune response results.

Up to 27.5 ml of blood will be required at each timepoint (PAXgene tube 2.5 ml, heparinized tube 10 ml, EDTA tube 10 ml, SST tube 5 ml). Total blood drawing will be up to 55 ml in phase 1 patients and up to 82.5 ml in phase 2 patients. Serologic and additional immune assays will be conducted on blood drawn at these time points to assess for SARS-CoV-2 specific immune responses (see below).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Person Under Investigation (PUI)
PUI's are subjects who were admitted to the hospital with symptoms suspicious for COVID-19.
Diagnostic test: SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing
venipuncture for SARS-CoV-2 IgG
Asymptomatic Person under Screening (APS)
APS's are those patients who do NOT meet the criteria to be a suspect COVID- 19 patient but are being tested because they are being admitted, are required for testing by state mandate, or are having a procedure, etc.
Diagnostic test: SARS-CoV-2 antibody testing
venipuncture for SARS-CoV-2 IgG

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
SARS-CoV-2 IgG
Time Frame: 120 days
Qualitative seroconversion response rates (RR) in NP SARS-CoV-2 PCR swab negative PUI vs. swab negative APS patients will be compared as the primary outcome measurement.
120 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure

host immune response

mRNA gene expression by RNAseq from whole blood collected into PAXGene RNA tubes
120 Days
