Trial Outcomes & Findings for Tasso-SST OnDemand Comparator Pilot Study (NCT NCT04713748)

NCT ID: NCT04713748

Last Updated: 2022-07-28

Results Overview

Sensitivity is defined as the number detected as positive on the new screen (Tasso) divided by the number defined as positive under the 'gold standard' multiplied by 100%. This is presented as a comparison to testing of blood samples obtained by routine phlebotomy as the gold standard (Abbott Alinity nucleocapsid IgG antibody assay drawn by a phlebotomist).

Participant Flow

1. Recruitment into the Tasso Pilot Study occurred from 1/15/2021 to 3/10/2021. 2. All participants were recruited from tC3PI Study sub-cohort - had serial COVID-19 bimonthly antibody testing. 3. A total of 281 participants in the C3PI invited to participate. 4. 135 eligible individuals provided consent for the Tasso Pilot Study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 17 days after onset of symptoms

Population: Participants who were able to draw blood using the TASSO-SST OnDemand device.

Sensitivity is defined as the number detected as positive on the new screen (Tasso) divided by the number defined as positive under the 'gold standard' multiplied by 100%. This is presented as a comparison to testing of blood samples obtained by routine phlebotomy as the gold standard (Abbott Alinity nucleocapsid IgG antibody assay drawn by a phlebotomist).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 17 days after onset of symptoms

Population: Participants who were able to draw blood using the TASSO-SST OnDemand device.

Interclass correlation (ICC) uses the 2 measures (Tasso \& SST), measured on the same subjects. ICC is defined as the Variance between Persons (Var-P) divided by the Variance within Persons (error) Var-E. ICC is defined as Var-P/(Var-P + Var-E). confidence intervals are easily defined by incorporating sample size. Presented as the interclass correlation coefficient between TASSO-SST collected and routine phlebotomy sample results.

Bias is measured using the Bland-Altman method. Here, the difference the values by the 2 measures (Phlebotomy-Tasso) (difference) is compared to the average of Phlebotomy \& Tasso (average). Bias is defined as differences which vary from 0, and is measured by (1) assessing if the average difference is non-zero, and (2) if the difference is systematically more or less close to 0 as the average increases. Presented as the regression slope.
