Diagnostic Performance Evaluation of a Novel SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Antigen Detection Test (COVID-VIRO)

December 4, 2020 updated by: Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans

Diagnostic Performance Evaluation of a Novel SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Antigen Detection Test on Nasopharyngeal Specimens i

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

Study Overview

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.

EXPERIMENTAL: Comparison between RT-qPCR and COVID-VIRO® results on nasopharyngeal swab specimens
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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluation of COVID VIRO® diagnostic specificity
Time Frame: Month 1

COVID-VIRO® specificity is calculated using the RT-qPCR results as reference test, according to the following formulas:

Specificity (%) = 100 x [Negative / (Negative + Positive)]

Month 1
Evaluation of COVID VIRO® diagnostic sensitivity
Time Frame: Month 1

COVID-VIRO® sensitivity is calculated using the RT-qPCR results as reference test, according to the following formulas:

Sensitivity (%) = 100 x [Positive/ (Positive + Negative)]

Month 1
