  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Primary case: laboratory-confirmed coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 infection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR),

About this study

Official title: Household Transmission Investigation Study for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Tropical Regions

This study is a interventional study that present minimal risks and constraints to evaluate the presence of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) or antibodies among individuals living in households where there is a confirmed coronavirus case in order to provide useful information on the proportion of symptomatic forms and the extent of the virus transmission in tropical regions such as French Guiana, Guadeloupe and New-Caledonia.

Read the detailed description

This study is a interventional study that present minimal risks and constraints to evaluate the presence of novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) or antibodies among individuals living in households where there is a confirmed coronavirus case in order to provide useful information on the proportion of symptomatic forms and the extent of the virus transmission in tropical regions such as French Guiana, Guadeloupe and New-Caledonia.

Subjects will be assessed (questionnaires and sampling) in their homes. Subjects will be asked to attend study visits at days 0, 7, 14, 21, 28, 60, 90, 180 and 360.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the rate of intra-household secondary transmission of the virus.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Primary caseExperimentalSubject with laboratory-confirmed coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 infection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
Receives: Procedure: Human biological samples

Receives: Procedure: Human biological samples

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluation of the extent of the virus transmission within households

    The extent of the virus transmission within households will be assessed by evaluating the rate of intra-household secondary transmission of the virus

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Characterization of the secondary cases

    The characterization of the secondary cases will be assessed by evaluating the proportion of asymptomatic forms within the household

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Characterization of the secondary cases

    The characterization of the secondary cases will be assessed by characterizing the risk factors for coronavirus infection.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. In New-Caledonia, evaluation of the extent of the virus transmission within contact persons

    The extent of the virus transmission within contact persons will be assessed by evaluating the rate of extended-contact secondary transmission of the virus

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Human biological samples in people with Coronavirus Infections and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, run by Institut Pasteur at 4 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Feb 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in French Guiana, Guadeloupe, New Caledonia. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of the extent of the virus transmission within households (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Feb 2022.
