TETANUS Antibody Detection in Saliva Study

Sponsor: University of Birmingham

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study aims to design, develop and optimise a non-invasive, saliva sample-based point-of-care lateral flow test for use in low and middle income settings that can return a qualitative result on whether an individual has or has not immunity to tetanus within 10-15mins. If successful, this approach would not require blood sampling or laboratory facilities, empower personalised decision making on vaccine needs and support the development of population level data-driven public health policies.

Official title: Development of Novel Diagnostics That Use Point-of-care Lateral Flow Testing Technology for Non-invasive, Individual Assessment of Antibody Protection to Tetanus and Vaccine Need
