ESCAPE: study of COVID-19 seroprevalence
Manchester CRF was asked to facilitate the fast-track opening and provide vital support to the Public Health England (PHE) ESCAPE (Enhanced Seroprevalence for COVID-19 Antibodies) study which aimed to better understand the spread of coronavirus by monitoring the development of and changes in antibodies linked to COVID-19 – the only NHS site to take part in the study.
