Project REMOTE (REimagining Measurements and Operations of Translational Endpoints)

Description

This trial is designed to assess immunological biomarkers measured from blood samples that can be used to reliably predict how well vaccines work against symptomatic COVID-19 as well as to evaluate the feasibility of remote, self-collected specimens when conducting a correlates analysis. For a lot of research studies, people need to go to the study doctor's office regularly. For this study, we want to see if it is okay that people do the study doctor visits virtually, fill out questionnaires electronically, and collect their own samples remotely. Participants will enroll in the study after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine in their community, and saliva and blood specimens will be collected at pre-defined timepoints over a 12-month period. Additionally, participants will report weekly whether they experience symptoms of COVID-19, and if so, will be prompted to collect a nasal swab for testing. Most participants will complete all activities remotely and via electronic communications, but a small number will complete activities in person at the doctor's office to provide a comparison group. Samples from the study will be analyzed to determine whether the biomarkers can be measured, and data from the study will be used to evaluate the feasibility of doing the specimen and data collection without the participant going to the doctor's office in person.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Are able to understand and comply with planned study procedures, including specimen collection devices, use of eCOA application on a tablet or smartphone, and the wearable biometric device.
  • * Are ≥18 years old at time of informed consent
  • * Are available for all study data collection timepoints
  • * Completed primary approved/authorized COVID-19 vaccination series, defined as previous receipt of one of the following options:
  • * Doses of original monovalent mRNA or bivalent mRNA vaccine or a combination of the two,
  • * Doses of original monovalent Novavax COVID-19 Vaccine, alone or in combination with any mRNA vaccine doses; or
  • * Doses of Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine, alone or in combination with any mRNA or Original monovalent Novavax vaccine doses.
  • * Receipt of an FDA licensed/authorized COVID-19 vaccine within the previous 14 days or on the day of enrollment
  • * Receipt or planned receipt of any of the following vaccines, on the same day or within 28 days prior to or after receipt of the FDA licensed/authorized COVID-19 vaccine:
  • * Shingrix (Zoster Vaccine Recombinant, Adjuvanted)
  • * Receipt of COVID-19 vaccine within 120 days prior to current vaccine
  • * Any disease or medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, is a contraindication to study participation
