Overview
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has negatively impacted global health and requires more research to develop better tests and to improve disease treatment.
The purpose of this research is to aid in the testing effort by collecting samples from people who have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or are suspected of having COVID-19. Samples you provide will be used investigationally by INanoBio to develop a test to determine when antibodies against various SARS-CoV-2 proteins are detectable.
Up to approximately 80 subjects of all ages with either a suspected or lab-confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 will take part in this research.
Description
A longitudinal, non-randomized study to evaluate the utility of the INanoBio's protein arrays in detecting unique antibodies in COVID-19 patients. To study the feasibility of utilizing a viral proteome microarray for evaluating exposure status, immunity status, diagnosis, and prognosis of SARS-CoV-2 infections during and after the course of disease. The sample size is to include 80 subjects: 40 diagnosed with COVID-19 and 40 suspected to have COVID-19. The goal will be to assess antibodies throughout the subject's disease course compared to controls.
