About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 2a Study to Evaluate a Range of Dose Levels and Vaccination Intervals of Ad26.COV2.S in Healthy Adults Aged 18 to 55 Years Inclusive and Adults Aged 65 Years and Older and to Evaluate 2 Dose Levels of Ad26.COV2.S in Healthy Adolescents Aged 12 to 17 Years Inclusive
The primary purpose of this study is to assess humoral immune responses of 3 dose levels of Ad26.COV2.S administered intramuscularly (IM) as a 2-dose schedule (56 days apart); Ad26.COV2.S administered IM as a single vaccination; safety and reactogenicity of Ad26.COV2.S administered IM as a 2-dose or a single-dose schedule in adults (18-65 years or older) and to assess the safety and reactogenicity of Ad26.COV2.S, administered IM as single dose in adolescents (12-17 years) and to test both compressed and expanded 2-dose schedules of Ad26.COV2.S (28 and 84 days apart) in adults (18-55 years and 65 years or older).
Read the detailed description
The aim of the COVID-19 vaccine clinical development program is to develop a safe and effective vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19. Currently, there is only limited availability of authorized/licensed vaccines for the prevention of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Ad26.COV2.S (also known as Ad26COVS1) is a monovalent vaccine composed of a recombinant, replication incompetent adenovirus type 26 (Ad26) vector, constructed to encode the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus spike (S) protein, which will be assessed in this study. Also, different vaccination intervals and multiple lower dose levels compared to the dose levels in the first in human study (VAC31518COV1001 [NCT04436276]) will be assessed. For adults, the study consists of: screening phase (28 days), vaccination phase (1-3 months) depending on the vaccination interval, and follow-up (12 months). The study duration is approximately 15 months (Groups 1-6, 8, 10 and Group 7 [to participants for whom vaccination 2 was delayed]), 14 months (Group 7), and 16 months (Group 9) in adult groups and approximately 13 months for adolescents group (Groups A to C). The adverse events and other safety assessments including vital signs measurements (heart rate, supine systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, and body temperature), and physical examinations will be assessed during the study.
Note: The Informed Consent Form dated 27-Oct-2020 is final version of the study MASTER ICF, used by local countries to prepare the local language version of the ICF, which have been approved by the Ethics Committees.
And the highlighted text in the ICF document are the guidance for country specific adaptation.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess humoral immune responses of 3 dose levels of Ad26.COV2.S administered intramuscularly (IM) as a 2-dose schedule (56 days apart); Ad26.COV2.S administered IM as a single vaccination; safety and reactogenicity of Ad26.COV2.S administered IM as a 2-dose or a single-dose schedule in adults (18-65 years or older) and to assess the safety and reactogenicity of Ad26.COV2.S, administered IM as single dose in adolescents (12-17 years) and to test both compressed and expanded 2-dose schedules of Ad26.COV2.S (28 and 84 days apart) in adults (18-55 years and 65 years or older).
Detailed description
The aim of the COVID-19 vaccine clinical development program is to develop a safe and effective vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19. Currently, there is only limited availability of authorized/licensed vaccines for the prevention of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Ad26.COV2.S (also known as Ad26COVS1) is a monovalent vaccine composed of a recombinant, replication incompetent adenovirus type 26 (Ad26) vector, constructed to encode the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus spike (S) protein, which will be assessed in this study. Also, different vaccination intervals and multiple lower dose levels compared to the dose levels in the first in human study (VAC31518COV1001 [NCT04436276]) will be assessed. For adults, the study consists of: screening phase (28 days), vaccination phase (1-3 months) depending on the vaccination interval, and follow-up (12 months). The study duration is approximately 15 months (Groups 1-6, 8, 10 and Group 7 [to participants for whom vaccination 2 was delayed]), 14 months (Group 7), and 16 months (Group 9) in adult groups and approximately 13 months for adolescents group (Groups A to C). The adverse events and other safety assessments including vital signs measurements (heart rate, supine systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, and body temperature), and physical examinations will be assessed during the study.
Note: The Informed Consent Form dated 27-Oct-2020 is final version of the study MASTER ICF, used by local countries to prepare the local language version of the ICF, which have been approved by the Ethics Committees.
And the highlighted text in the ICF document are the guidance for country specific adaptation.

Adults of Groups 2 to 5, Group 9-10, 1 and 7 Combined, 6 and 8 Combined: Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time frame: Up to 1.5 years
SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose may result in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product.
Adults of Groups 2 to 5, Group 9-10, 1 and 7 Combined, 6 and 8 Combined: Number of Participants With Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESIs)
Time frame: Up to 1.5 years
AESIs were significant AEs that were judged to be of special interest because of clinical importance, known or suspected class effects, or based on nonclinical signals. Thrombosis with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS), a syndrome characterized by a combination of both a thrombotic event and thrombocytopenia, was considered to be an AESI in this study. A suspected TTS case was defined as: Thrombotic events: suspected deep vessel venous or arterial thrombotic events; Thrombocytopenia, defined as platelet count below 150,000/micro liter.
Adolescents: Number of Participants With Solicited Local AEs at 7 Days After Vaccination 1
Time frame: 7 Days After Vaccination 1 (Day 8)
Number of participants with solicited local AEs at 7 days after vaccination 1 were reported. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Solicited local AEs were pre-defined local (at the injection site) AEs for which participants were specifically questioned and which were noted by participants in their e-diary for 7 days post vaccination 1 (day of vaccination and the subsequent 7 days). Solicited local AEs included: injection site pain/tenderness, erythema and swelling at the vaccination site.
Adolescents: Number of Participants With Solicited Systemic AEs at 7 Days After Vaccination 1
Time frame: 7 Days After Vaccination 1 (Day 8)
Number of participants with solicited systemic AEs at 7 days after vaccination 1 were reported. An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant participating in a clinical study that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the pharmaceutical/biological agent under study. Participants were instructed on how to note signs and symptoms in their diary on a daily basis for 7 days post-vaccination 1 (Day of vaccination1 and the subsequent 7 days) for solicited systemic AEs. Solicited systemic AEs included fatigue, headache, myalgia, nausea and fever (body temperature greater than or equal to [>=] 38 degree Celsius).
Adolescents: Number of Participants With Unsolicited AEs at 28 Days After Vaccination 1

What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jun 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Adults of Groups 1, 2 and 3: Percentage of Participants With Serological Response to Vaccination as Measured by Virus Neutralization Assay (VNA) Titers at 28 Days After Vaccination 2 (time frame: 28 days after Vaccination 2 (Day 85)). The study lists 25 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04535453, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
