Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Devices - Rhinoswab Junior
Treatment: Devices - Combined nose and throat swab
Treatment: Devices - Saliva swab
Diagnosis / Prognosis - Abbott Panbio™ COVID-19 antigen self-test kit

Experimental: Arm 1 - Clinician Collected/supervised Rhinoswab first, then CTDN swab - Rhinoswab test administered and immediately followed by CTDN. Rhinoswab swab tested on respiratory panel vs CTDN swab tested on respiratory panel (standard of care).

Experimental: Arm 2 - Clinician Collected/supervised CTDN swab first, then Rhinoswab - CTDN test administered and immediately followed by Rhinoswab. CTDN swab tested on respiratory panel (standard of care) vs Rhinoswab swab tested on respiratory panel.

Experimental: Arm 3 - Self-collected Rhinoswab, saliva swab, CTDN - In children 5-18 years, the child/parent/guardian collects the three samples, in order of patient/parent preference. All samples will be tested on the SARS-CoV-2 laboratory panel (Allplex™ SARS-CoV-2 Assay - Seegene Inc)

Experimental: Arm 4 - Self-collected RAT, saliva, CTDN - In children 1 month -5 years, the child/parent/guardian collects the three samples, in order of patient/parent preference. Saliva and CTDN samples will be tested on the SARS-CoV-2 laboratory panel (Allplex™ SARS-CoV-2 Assay - Seegene Inc), RAT test kit will be Abbott PanBio


Treatment: Devices: Rhinoswab Junior
Rhinoswab Junior is a single use self-administered nasal swab intended to collect clinical specimens from the patient's nasal passages

Treatment: Devices: Combined nose and throat swab
Combined nose and throat swab (standard of care)

Treatment: Devices: Saliva swab
Saliva swab

Diagnosis / Prognosis: Abbott Panbio™ COVID-19 antigen self-test kit
COVID-19 antigen self-test kit for the screening of active COVID-19 infection. It is a single-use, in vitro, visually read rapid immunoassay that uses a human nasal swab specimen for the qualitative detection of nucleocapsid protein SARS-CoV-2 antigen. It is intended to be used manually by untrained lay users (self testing) in a private setting.

Summary
Brief summary
A study to investigate Rhinoswab as an alternative method to combined throat and deep nasal (CTDN) swab for respiratory sample collection in children who present to the Royal Children's Hospital (RCH) for viral testing. Children and their parent/guardian will answer a short survey about their preferences. Laboratory staff will answer a short survey about handling the different samples.
