Quick COVID test for contacts: can it replace PCR?

NCT ID NCT04745533

First seen May 05, 2026 · Last updated May 05, 2026

Summary

This study aimed to see if a cheap, fast antigen test works as well as the standard PCR test for finding COVID-19 in people who were close contacts of infected patients but had no symptoms. The goal was to make it easier and quicker to identify contagious people without symptoms. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
