Capillary-Venous Paired Collection (CaVe)

July 28, 2026 updated by: Entia Ltd

CApillary-VEnous Paired Collection (CAVE)

This study is recruiting participants to donate 3 capillary blood samples to be tested on the investigational system and venous blood to be tested on a comparator system. At the some sites, additional venous blood samples from the same participants will be tested on the investigation system.

The participants' CBC results analyzed on the gold standard laboratory analyzer (comparator) will be collected and compared against the results obtained from the testing of capillary blood samples and venous blood samples on the investigational system. At certain sites, the usability of the investigational system is observed to evaluate the usability of the system.

The participants' involvement in the study is only for the duration of collecting the blood samples. No follow-up is anticipated. The results from the investigational system is for research use only and will not inform or change the participants' treatment or care.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Suspended

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.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

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.
Participants
All participants to undergo the same study method. Where all participants are to donate capillary blood to complete 3 tests on the investigational system and a comparator venous sample for testing on a comparator system. For certain sites, an additional venous sample will also be tested on the investigational system. The venous CBC results from the comparator system will be compared to the results of both capillary and venous specimens obtained by the investigational system.

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
To validate the measurement performance of the investigational system (regression)
Time Frame: through study completion, estimated 6 months
The plotted difference between the measured parameters of the comparator and investigational system will provide the regression, which will be checked against pre-determined acceptance criteria.
through study completion, estimated 6 months
To validate the measurement performance of the investigational system (CV and SD)
Time Frame: through study completion, estimated 6 months
The difference between the measured parameters of the comparator and investigational system will inform the Coefficient of Variation and Standard Deviation of the dataset, which will be checked against pre-determined acceptance criteria.
through study completion, estimated 6 months
To validate the measurement performance of the investigational system
Time Frame: through study completion, estimated 6 months
The difference between the measured parameters of the comparator and investigational system will provide the bias (and therefore also the % bias) of the investigational system, which will be checked against pre-determined acceptance criteria.
through study completion, estimated 6 months
To validate the usability of the Liberty Analyzer System in a simulated home environment
Time Frame: Through study completion. Estimated 6 months
Participant to complete a usability questionnaire following use of Liberty. Observer to complete usability checklist during participants' use of Liberty
Through study completion. Estimated 6 months
To prove equivalence in the measurement performance between the sampling matrices
Time Frame: through study completion, estimated 6 months
Performance comparison (bias, %bias, regression, CV) between the testing matrices (capillary whole blood and venous whole blood) on Liberty.
through study completion, estimated 6 months
