About this study

Prospective, observational SARS-CoV2 serological surveillance single London HIV outpatient center study using NHS participants

Read the detailed description

The main aim of this study is to find out how many people living with HIV (PLWH) attending a major HIV centre in London, have already been infected with SARS-CoV2 so far which will be determined through serological blood tests detecting the presence of antibodies to SARS-CoV2, or have developed antibodies in response to vaccination.

However, it is not know whether the presence of antibodies from natural infection means anything more than a marker that someone has been exposed to SARS-CoV2 previously. It is not know whether this means someone is any less likely to be reinfected in the future or how it will affect possible future infections with SARS-CoV2. Whilst further data on natural and vaccine induced antibody responses is awaited, those with the presence of anti-SARS-CoV2 antibodies continue to be advised to take the same precautions as everyone else in terms of reducing the risk of getting COVID-19: regularly washing hands, wearing a mask and remaining socially distant where possible.

Now that vaccination has commenced it is also unclear what markers of vaccine induced immunity will develop, including in PLWH. This study will help better determine whether HIV should be an additional 'priority' group for vaccination, and also what antibody responses exist in PLWH who have been vaccinated

The intention is to invite the cohort in for an annual set of HIV related blood tests, covering those who are scheduled for bloods, as well as those who may have missed scheduled blood monitoring appointments during the COV19 lockdown period. In addition to these tests the study proposes offering serological testing for SARS CoV-2 as part of this surveillance study. Participation will be voluntary, and informed consent will be obtained. Participants will be informed of their result along with information about the uncertainty of its meaning, beyond indicating previous infection or vaccination.

The study aims to test for the presence of specific antibodies that target SARS-CoV2 in people living with HIV, as a marker of whether someone has been infected before. This will help create a better understanding of whether living with HIV puts people at a higher risk of becoming infected with SARS-CoV2 compared to the general population, and which other factors or characteristics may affect this risk. This will help identify who might be more at risk of getting COVID-19 in the future and will help plan for future COVID-19 vaccine strategies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prevalence of SARS-CoV2 antibodies

    The primary outcome measure is the presence of antibodies to SARS-CoV2. This is a binary outcome (present/absent)

    Measured: Since 1st Jan 2020

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reporting of COVID symptoms

    The secondary outcome measure is the reporting of previous COVID symptoms since 1st January 2020. This is a binary measure (yes/no).

    Measured: Since 1st Jan 2020

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV-1-infection and SARS-CoV Infection, run by Royal Free Hospital NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 4 inclusion and 1 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 27 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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?

Prevalence of SARS-CoV2 antibodies (time frame: Since 1st Jan 2020). 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 27 Nov 2023.
