About this study

Official title: A Global, Multi-center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled, Phase III Clinical Study to Evaluate the Protective Efficacy, Safety and Immunogenicity of SARS-CoV-2 Messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) Vaccine in Population Aged 18 Years and Older

Approximately 28,000 subjects will be enrolled in this trial. Eligible subjects will be stratified by age (<60 years of age and ≥60 years of age, the proportion of elderly people ≥60 years old is planned to be ≥25%) and randomly assigned into the study group and the control group at a ratio of 1:1 (14,000 in each group) to be intramuscularly administered with the investigational vaccine or placebo in a 2-dose regimen at an interval of 28 days. The experimental vaccines will be cross-vaccinated after available data of the investigational vaccine show that expected efficacy and good safety have been achieved (i.e., subjects in the study group will be vaccinated with placebo and those in the control group will be vaccinated with the investigational vaccine in the same schedule as stated above ). After the completion of the second dose for crossover vaccination, subjects will be followed up for 12 months for safety observation. An immunogenicity subgroup (n≥3000) and a reactogenicity subgroup (n≥6000) will also be included in this trial to evaluate the humoral immunity induced by the investigational vaccine and the solicited adverse events observed within 7 days post immunization. All enrolled subjects will be followed up for the evaluation of protective efficacy as well, which will be primarily characterized by the incidence rate (person-year) of COVID-19 cases collected from 14 days after complete series. Adverse events will be collected over 0-28 days after each vaccination and serious adverse events will be collected from Dose 1 through 12 months post complete series.

What participants receive

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

  • SARS-CoV-2 mRNA VaccineBiological

    The SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccine is formulated by encapsulating the mRNA, which encodes the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of spike glycoprotein (S protein) of SARS-CoV-2 and is transcribed in-vitro by the corresponding DNA template, in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs). This vaccine is presented as a white to off-white dispersion for injection.

    Active substances: mRNA encoding the RBD of the S protein of SARS-CoV-2.

    The vaccine is supplied in single-dose pre-filled syringe with 0.5 mL dispersion for intramuscular injection. Each dose (0.5 mL) of the vaccine contains:

    15 μg of mRNA encoding the RBD of the spike glycoprotein (S protein) of SARS-CoV-2, 0.339 mg of total lipids (including lipid 9001, cholesterol, DSPC, DMG-PEG2000).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Vaccine in people with COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2, run by Walvax Biotechnology Co., Ltd. at 12 sites in 2 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 7 inclusion and 33 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Mexico, Indonesia. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shuyuan Yang (+86 18687832269, ynwsysy@walvax.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Primary efficacy endpoint as measured by the incidence rate (person-year) of COVID-19 cases (time frame: From 14 days after complete series). The study lists 3 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 NCT04847102, 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 18 Nov 2021.
