NCT05612724

Brief Summary

A pilot study was initiated to assess feasibility of testing asymptomatic dental patients presenting to the Oral Medicine Clinic at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine for SARS-CoV-2 viral antigen using a point-of-care (POC) Rapid Antigen test. 14 subjects with upcoming appointment at the Oral Medicine clinic, Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, with no history of documented COVID-19 infection or viral exposure, were enrolled in a study that interrogated patients' perceptions of safety and feedback regarding their testing experience. All 14 patients expressed initial interest, however, 10 patients completed informed consent and completed study procedures. Institutional Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) certification of waiver was obtained prior to conducting the study. Communicable Diseases Reporting and Surveillance System (CDRSS) registration and training were completed to enable reporting results of the POC test.

D: No If the COVID test results show that a participant is positive for COVID-19, the study staff will tell the participant the results. The study staff will be required to give the participant's name to the state's Department of Public Health if the participant tests positive because this is the law. At the end of the study, de-identified data will be provided to the National Coordinating Center.
