Mass Evaluation of Lateral Flow Immunoassays for the Detection of SARS-CoV-2 Antibody Responses in Immunosuppressed People (The MELODY Study)
In Brief
An observational study evaluating self-administered lateral flow assays for Solid Organ Transplant Recipients and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 28,411 participants across 4 sites.
Detailed Summary
DESIGN Observational epidemiological study AIMS - To determine: 1. The proportion of immunosuppressed people who have detectable SARS-CoV-2 antibodies following a primary vaccine course (3 doses), and the demographic, disease, and treatment characteristics that influence antibody status. 2. If the detection of antibodies inversely correlates with subsequent risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 infection and/or severity of disease in immunosuppressed people.

Timeline
Interventions
The lateral flow device to be used is the Fortress COVID-19 Total Antibody Device for the detection of IgM and IgG SARS-CoV-2 against the spike protein. The device has been evaluated for use in detecting anti-S in transplant patients and found to have a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 95%.
