Improving POC-CCA reliability and interpretation in low and high S. mansoni endemicity settings using recombinant Ab-based POC-CCAs and improved quality assurance and control
REFNo: HS2788ES

This study aims to demonstrate the performance of the new recPOC-CCA rapid test in areas of low and high schistosomiasis endemicity, in comparison to the current POC-CCA test and KK microscopy.
Objective I: The study will also evaluate the use of 1-3 calibrator samples to provide clear visual guidance to the appropriate cutoff G-Scores for the recPOC-CCA test, for the end user to use within an endemic setting.
Objective II: This will reduce batch-to-batch variations, and reduce the impact of the often subjective Trace readings around the cutoff of the test. LatentClassAnalysis(LCA)willbeperformedwiththediagnostictestsdatatoestimatethetrueinfection status of the participants, and the probability of each diagnostic test to accurately predict infection, demonstrating how LCA can improve data interpretation to support MDA program decision making.
