Given tetanus antigen is included as polyvalent vaccine formulations for infants as part of the WHO EPI schedule for LMICS, the absence of anti-tetanus toxoid antibody might also indicate missed vaccine doses that would have conferred protection to other infectious diseases.\n\nThis is a cross-sectional, non-interventional, biological sampling study. This study will be conducted at the Center for Family Health Research in Kigali, Rwanda, in collaboration with Rwanda Biomedical Centre, the national health implementation agency for Rwanda, and the University of Birmingham, United Kingdom. WHO\u002FUNICEF estimates DTP3 coverage in Rwanda at 97% following extensive SIA activity after vaccination coverage dropped to 88% in 2021. Rwanda hosts a significant number of refugees (135,000 at the end of April 2024), nearly half of these are children and many are from the Democratic Republic of the Congo where only just over half of children are fully immunised.\n\nThe overall aim of this study is to assess the real-world performance and the diagnostic clinical accuracy of a novel, saliva-based, point-of-care lateral flow test in determining the immune status to tetanus for individuals in Rwanda.\n\nParticipants will be recruited from the following groups:\n\n* Group A: Healthy children aged 5-10 years (n=250)\n* Group B: Healthy younger adults aged 18-25 years (n=35)\n* Group C: Healthy pregnant women (n=30)\n* Group D: Adults with known immune suppression (see table 1) aged 18-45 years (n=75)",[37],{"label":38,"type":39,"description":40,"interventionNames":41},"All participants","EXPERIMENTAL","All participants will receive the same interventions.",[42,43],"Diagnostic Test: Point of care, saliva-based lateral flow test","Diagnostic Test: Blood based immunoassay",[45,50],{"type":46,"name":47,"description":48,"armGroupLabels":49,"otherNames":28},"DIAGNOSTIC_TEST","Point of care, saliva-based lateral flow test","Measurement of anti-tetanus toxoid antibody concentration in saliva",[38],{"type":46,"name":51,"description":52,"armGroupLabels":53,"otherNames":28},"Blood based immunoassay","Measurement of anti-tetanus toxoid antibody concentration in blood",[38],[55],{"name":56,"role":57,"phone":58,"phoneExt":28,"email":59},"Karishma Gokani","CONTACT","+44(0)121 414 4069","k.gokani@bham.ac.uk",[61],{"facility":62,"status":28,"city":63,"state":28,"zip":28,"country":64,"countryCode":65,"cosmosGeoPoint":66,"geoPoint":71,"contacts":72},"Center for Family Health Research","Kigali","Rwanda","RW",{"type":67,"coordinates":68},"Point",[69,70],30.05885,-1.94995,{"lat":70,"lon":69},[73],{"name":74,"role":57,"phone":75,"phoneExt":28,"email":76},"Julien Nyombayire","+250 252 503 233","jnyombayire@rzhrg-mail.org",{"type":78,"investigatorFullName":28,"investigatorTitle":28,"investigatorAffiliation":28,"oldNameTitle":28,"oldOrganization":28},"SPONSOR",[80,82],{"name":81,"class":6},"Rwanda Biomedical Centre",{"name":83,"class":84},"Center for Family Health Research\u002FProjet San Francisco","UNKNOWN","100627248","tetanus-antibody-detection-in-saliva-study-100627248",false,"NCT07446166","TETANUS Antibody Detection in Saliva Study","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","TETANUS","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Able and willing to provide informed consent to take part in the study; either directly or from a parent\u002Fguardian, where appropriate\n* \\[Group A\\] Aged 5-10 years inclusive, and determined as healthy by a member of the study team\n* \\[Group B\\] Aged 18-25yrs inclusive, and determined as healthy by a member of the study team\n* \\[Group C\\] Currently pregnant at any stage of pregnancy, prior to receipt of a tetanus booster vaccine in pregnancy, and determined as healthy by a member of the study team and safe to provide a blood sample\n* \\[Group D\\] Adults aged 18-45 years with one or more of the medical conditions that may affect antibody response to vaccination.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Participants or parents\u002Fguardians unwilling or unable to provide informed consent to take part\n* Unwilling or unable to comply with study procedures\n* Have a bleeding disorder deemed significant by study doctor\n* \\[Groups A, B and C only\\] Any health condition which, in the opinion of a study physician which could\n\n  1. mean blood sampling has the potential for harm and\u002For\n  2. affect immune response to a vaccine for example known\u002Fsuspected impairment of immune function (with the exception of Group D)",true,"ALL","5 Years","45 Years",{"count":98,"type":99},390,"ESTIMATED","INTERVENTIONAL",[30],"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.
