First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study is testing a new diagnostic panel called the BioFire ECoV Panel, designed to detect coronaviruses from leftover nose swab samples. Researchers will enroll 1,500 people and compare the panel's results to standard tests to see how accurate it is. The test is not being used to guide patient care during the study—it's only to check if the device works well.
