TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title COVADIS study
Official scientific title COVID-19 Epidemic in West Africa (WA): infection dynamics and diagnostic approaches
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial Overall Objective The overall aim is to contribute to the COVID-19 response in WA by improving local diagnostic and surveillance capabilities. Specific Objectives 1. To validate a commercially available antigen-based rapid diagnostic test in suspected COVID-19 patients; 2. To develop a validated serology platform for determining serostatus and monitoring immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection; 3. To characterize the viral load and antibodies dynamics in a cohort of confirmed COVID-19 patients; 4. To characterize at household level the sero-epidemiology of COVID-19 infections. 5. To determine the performance of saliva for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA and antibodies in COVID-19 patients; 6. To monitor the duration and infectivity of viral shedding in NPS, saliva, urines, and stools in COVID-19 infected patients for up to 6 months after onset of symptoms; In order to complete objectives 5 & 6 additional funds will be sought. However, these samples will be collected during the patients’ cohort follow-up and stored at -80°C until further processed.
