About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase III Clinical Trial For Evaluation of Efficacy and Safety of SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine (Vero Cell), Inactivated

This study is a randomized, double-blinded, and placebo controlled phase III clinical trial of the SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine manufactured by Sinovac Research \& Development Co., Ltd. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of the experimental vaccine in healthy adults aged 18~59 Years.

Read the detailed description

This study is a randomized, double-blinded, multi-center, placebo-controlled phase III clinical trial in adults aged 18~59 years. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of the experimental SARS-CoV-2 inactivated vaccine. The experimental vaccine and placebo were both manufactured by Sinovac Research \& Development Co., Ltd. A total of 13.000 subjects will be enrolled. Participant will be assigned to receive two doses of experimental vaccine or placebo on the schedule of day 0,14. It is planned that the study will be conducted with two separate cohorts. The first cohort will be healthcare workers in the high risk group (K-1) and the second cohort will be people at normal risk (K-2). After 2 doses of vaccination of 1300 volunteers are completed, safety data will be evaluated by the data safety monitoring board without breaking the blinding, and if there is no safety issue, the K2 cohort will continue to be vaccinated.1.300 volunteers, including 650 volunteers SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and placebo arms, will be included in the K-1 cohort. In the K-2 cohort (normal risk group for COVID-19), 7.650 volunteers were planned to be included in the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine group, and 3.500 volunteers in the placebo group.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing CoronaVac in people with COVID-19, run by Health Institutes of Turkey at 25 sites in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 3 inclusion and 16 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 24 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in Turkey (Türkiye). 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Protection Indexes of Two Vaccine Doses For Symptomatic COVID-19 (time frame: 2 weeks after the second dose of vaccination). 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 NCT04582344, which also lists 4 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 24 May 2024.
