Project REMOTE (REimagining Measurements and Operations of Translational Endpoints)

This is a non-interventional, minimal-risk, observational study to determine correlates of an FDA-authorized/approved COVID-19 vaccine in a heterogeneous US population. Most participants will be remotely consented, screened, enrolled, and randomized outside of a physical clinical research site. Participants will be screened for study participation from Days -14 to -1 either remotely or at a clinical research site. After screening, eligible participants will be enrolled and will be randomized to one of two groups. Participants randomized to Group A (n\~200) will be evaluated at a traditional clinical research site to include site visits for venous blood and saliva specimens to be collected by appropriately trained site personnel within 7 days of enrollment and again at approximately Months 1, 3, 6 and 12. Participants randomized to Group B (n\~3800) will undergo fully remote evaluation to include self-collection of capillary blood and saliva specimens occurring within 7 days of enrollment, after receipt of the self-collection sample kits/wearable device. Self-collection will be aided by the electronic Clinical Outcome Assessment (eCOA) platform and/or virtual telehealth visits with the site staff and will occur within 7 days of enrollment and approximately at Months 1, 3, 6, and 12 to mirror group A visits. Though not part of the study, participants will be required to obtain a currently FDA-approved or -authorized COVID-19 vaccine as part of the inclusion criteria. Participants will be followed for 12 months from receipt of vaccination. Both groups will be surveilled with weekly queries for COVID-19 like symptoms for the duration of the study using an eCOA application on the participant's tablet or smartphone. Should Group A participants identify the presence of COVID-19 like symptoms they will be prompted to schedule an acute visit with their respective site where site staff will collect a nasal swab for PCR to confirm COVID-19 disease. Should Group B participants identify the presence of COVID-19 like symptoms they will be prompted to schedule an acute telehealth visit with their respective site and then self-collect a nasal swab for PCR to confirm COVID-19.
