About this study

Official title: A Phase 2/3 Randomised, Observer-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multi-centre Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Immunogenicity and Safety of the Adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 Subunit Vaccine in Adults Aged 18 Years and Above

The co-primary efficacy objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of aCoV2 versus a placebo to prevent virologically confirmed symptomatic COVID 19 defined by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance.

Conditions
Influenza
Being tested
Adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 Subunit vaccine (aCoV2), Comparator
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 Subunit vaccine (aCoV2)Drug

    Also called Tthe aCoV2 group

    Biological/Vaccine: Investigational adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 Subunit vaccine

  • ComparatorDrug

    Also called The Placebo Group

    Biological/Vaccine: A dose of 0.5 mL saline for injection will be administrated to subjects randomized to receive the placebo

Study groups in NCT04806529
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 Subunit vaccine (aCoV2)ExperimentalThe experimental group will receive a 2-dose series of 0.5 mL of the study vaccine, administered intramuscularly (IM) into the deltoid muscle, preferably in the non-dominant arm, Day 1 and Day 29 (e.g. 28 days apart)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Primary endpoint - preventing first occurrence of virologically-confirmed (RT-PCR) symptomatic COVID-19 cases as defined by ECDC guidance

    Measured: 14 days post vaccination through until 12 months after the last vaccination.

  2. Co-primary endpoint - If successful, the co-primary measure of efficacy is preventing first-occurrence of symptomatic COVID-19 as defined by the US FDA guidance

    Measured: 14 days post vaccination through until 12 months after the last vaccination.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Secondary endpoint #1 - preventing first occurrence of RT-PCR confirmed severe COVID-19

    Measured: 14 days post vaccination through until 12 months after the last vaccination

  2. Secondary endpoint #2 - number of subjects hospitalized with RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 versus placebo

    Measured: 14 days post vaccination through until 12 months after the last vaccination

  3. Secondary endpoint #3- number of subjects admitted to ICU with RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 versus placebo

    Measured: 14 days post vaccination through until 12 months after the last vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 Subunit vaccine (aCoV2) and Comparator in people with Influenza, run by Seqirus.

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 4 inclusion and 17 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Primary endpoint - preventing first occurrence of virologically-confirmed (RT-PCR) symptomatic COVID-19 cases as defined by ECDC guidance (time frame: 14 days post vaccination through until 12 months after the last vaccination.). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Mar 2021.
