About this study

Official title: An Observer-blind, Randomized, Controlled, Phase 2 Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity and Safety of Clover Adjuvanted Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Trimeric S-protein Subunit Vaccine (SCB-2020S) in Adults

This is a phase 2, randomized, controlled, observer-blind study to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of different formulations of the investigational adjuvanted recombinant SARS-CoV-2 trimeric S-protein (from B.1.351 variant) subunit vaccine (SCB-2020S), when administered as 2-dose vaccination series 21 days apart to adults ≥ 18 years of age.

Read the detailed description

Clover has developed a second candidate vaccine, SCB-2020S, that contains S protein from the dominant B.1.351 variant. The purpose of clinical study CLO-SCB-2020-001 is to assess the immunogenicity and safety of different formulations of the SCB-2020S compared to the prototype SCB-2019 vaccine, and to select a formulation of SCB-2020S for further clinical development. The protocol plans to enroll 150 participants. There will be 5 study arms and participants will receive two intramuscular (i.m.) injections, one at Day 1 and one at Day 22.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing candidate vaccine, SCB-2020S in people with COVID-19, run by Clover Biopharmaceuticals AUS Pty.

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 6 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2021.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. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.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

Geometric mean titer (GMT) of SARS-CoV-2 neutralising antibodies to B.1.351 variant (time frame: Days 36). 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?
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 10 Sep 2021.
