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.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ad26.COV2.S in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Vaccines & Prevention B.V. at 13 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 13 sites in United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Jun 2023.
