About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2, Randomized, Observer-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of TAK-019 by Intramuscular Injection in Healthy Japanese Male and Female Adults Aged 20 Years and Older (COVID-19)

TAK-019 is a vaccine in development to protect people against Covid-19. The main aims of the study are to learn if TAK-019 can protect people from Covid-19 and to check for side effects from TAK-019.

At the first visit, the study doctor will check if each person can take part. Those who can take part will be chosen for 1 of 2 treatments by chance. Participants will either receive an injection of TAK-019 or a placebo in their arm. In this study, a placebo will look like the TAK-019 vaccine but will not have any medicine in it. 3 times as many participants will receive TAK-019 than placebo. Participants will receive 2 injections of TAK-019 or placebo, 21 days apart.

Participants will be asked to record their temperature and any medical problems in an electronic diary for up to 7 days after each injection.

During the study, participants will visit the clinic for regular check-ups, blood tests, and sometimes for nose swab samples. When all participants have attended a clinic visit 28 days after their 2nd injection, the study sponsor (Takeda) will check how many participants have made enough antibodies to protect them against Covid-19.

The participants will stay in the study for up to 12 months after they have had their 2nd injection. During this time, the study doctors will continue to check how many participants have made enough antibodies to protect them against Covid-19. Also, they will check if participants have any more side effects from TAK-019 or the placebo.

Read the detailed description

The drug being tested in this study is called TAK-019. TAK-019 is being tested to prevent infectious disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). This study will look at the evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of 2 doses of TAK-019 by intramuscular (IM) injection 21 days apart in healthy Japanese male and female adults.

The study will enroll approximately 200 healthy volunteers. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to one of the two treatment groups-which will remain undisclosed to the participant and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):

  • TAK-019 0.5 mL
  • Placebo- this is an injection that looks like the study drug but has no active ingredient

All participants will be asked to take intramuscular injection in the upper arm twice throughout the study.

This multi-center trial will be conducted in Japan. The overall time to participate in this study is 12 months from the second vaccination (totally 387 days). Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic and will be contacted by telephone or a final visit after the last vaccination for a follow-up assessment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing TAK-019 in people with Prevention of Infection Disease Caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), run by Takeda at 2 sites in Japan.

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 2 inclusion and 19 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 6 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 2 sites in Japan. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 6 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?

Percentage of Participants With Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) for Six Subsequent Days Following First Vaccination (time frame: Up to Day 7 (6 subsequent days after first vaccination on Day 1)). The study lists 16 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 NCT04712110, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Jun 2023.
