Official title
Evaluation of Self-Collected Saliva Samples Without Viral Transport Media for SARS-CoV-2 Testing Via RT-PCR
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This is a study that will attempt to validate the process for detecting SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) on a non-FDA-approved technology using self-collected saliva as the specimen. Investigators will compare self-collected saliva samples and healthcare-worker collected nasopharyngeal samples (Nasal swabs) to see if the self-collected saliva samples are similar in terms of diagnostic accuracy. Investigators will be performing this testing at the site where patients regularly go for COVID19 testing. There will be minimal risk of harm as consenting patients will only have to provide a small amount of saliva into a tube.
