Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A prospective non-interventional study to evaluate the performance of EASYCOV IVD as point-of-care (POC) test by comparing SARS-CoV-2 positive patients with SARS-CoV-2 negative controls on paired specimens (nasopharyngeal swabs \& saliva samples).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A prospective non-interventional study to evaluate the performance of EASYCOV IVD as point-of-care (POC) test by comparing SARS-CoV-2 positive patients with SARS-CoV-2 negative controls on paired specimens (nasopharyngeal swabs \& saliva samples).

The operators performing the diagnostic tests will be blinded from the RT-PCR results (i.e. participant's group will be anonymized). Participants who have been tested by an routineTurkish MOH and FDA EUA approved RT-PCR test using nasopharyngeal swabs will be included in the study to perform the EASYCOV IVD tests in a POC setting.

Primary Objective:

• To evaluate the performance of EasyCov IVD as a point-of-care (POC) test performed on saliva samples for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection by comparing it to a Turkish MOH and FDA EUA approved RT-PCR test performed on nasopharyngeal samples.

Secondary Objectives:

• Collection and storage of saliva samples, nasopharyngeal swabs at D0 to perform future COVID-19 related research projects and validation of future generations of EASYCOV assays as well as exploratory studies to find candidate biomarkers for Covid-19.

160 participants will be included in 1:1 ratio: 80 SARS-CoV-2 positive and 80 SARS-CoV-2 negative by a Turkish MOH and FDA approved RT-PCR IVD test

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

SARS-CoV-2 Positive

patients tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 by routine Turkish MOH and FDA approved RT-PCR IVD test.

EasyCov POC

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Saliva samples will be collected according to the sampling protocol defined each for EASYCOV test. The EasyCoV test will be performed at the beginning of the study before obtaining the routine RT- PCR test results. The operators performing this test will be blinded from the routine RT-PCR results.

SARS-CoV-2 Negative

participants tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 by routine Turkish MOH and FDA approved RT-PCR IVD test.

EasyCov POC

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Saliva samples will be collected according to the sampling protocol defined each for EASYCOV test. The EasyCoV test will be performed at the beginning of the study before obtaining the routine RT- PCR test results. The operators performing this test will be blinded from the routine RT-PCR results.
