An observational study in Coronavirus Infection and Africa, sponsored by Centre de Recherche Médicale de Lambaréné. Completed at 2 sites in Gabon. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-07-19.
Sponsored by Centre de Recherche Médicale de Lambaréné · Observational
The purpose of this study is to Understand the natural history of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) infection to better define the period of infectiousness and transmissibility and to establish biobanks of COVID-19 blood and mucosal samples.
In this study ,the participants will be enrolled sequentially in the COVID-19 care referral centers. The infected hospitalized patient will be identified by the physicians in hospital. After the patient has given his/her informed consent the permission will be sought from him to approach his household contacts. The household contacts will be screened, and included in the study.
Patients hospitalized and positive for COVID-19 by PCR and their household contacts of all ages and gender (40% minimum of female), will be enrolled upon receipt of written informed consent.
7,990 studies on the registry are indexed under COVID-19; 466 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 574 is above the median of 268 across 3,208 observational studies indexed under COVID-19.

Compared within COVID-19, this study's primary condition as ClinicalTrials.gg classifies it; the registry's first condition term is Coronavirus Infections. The counts are of registry records indexed under each term, refreshed daily. How we classify →
The study population will consist of volunteer COVID-19 patients hospitalized in referral center for COVID-19 care as well as the household contacts of these hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Gabon, Senegal and Ethiopia.

Plan to share: Yes — Results from our COVID-19 AFRICA, AIDCO, project will be published in peer reviewed journals, seeking rapid and open access publication. This will be done as fast and widely as possible. Results will also be submitted and presented in any national, regional and international scientific meetings and congresses dedicated to COVID-19 online or face to face if, permitted. Before submission for publication or presentation, the review process outlined in the Consortium Agreement and agreed upon by all partners will be followed and care will be taken with respect to intellectual property protection.
