About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Observer-blind, Randomized Study to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of Heterologous Prime-boost COVID-19 Vaccines Regimens in Individuals Aged 18 to 65 Years in Mozambique and Madagascar.

This is an observer-blind, randomized study which aims to assess the immune response and the safety of two different approved vaccines for first and second dose in healthy adults.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 2, observer-blind, randomized study to assess the safety and the immunogenicity of heterologous prime-boost COVID-19 vaccines regimens in healthy adults aged 18 to 65 years using two approved vaccines (Sinopharm / CNBG Vaccine (BBIBP-CorV) and Johnson \& Johnson Vaccine (Ad26.COV2.S)).

The study will consist of 2 cohorts, one for main immunology endpoints (N=260, 65 per study arm) and one for more detailed immunological assessment (N=100, 25 per study arm). Two doses of vaccine will be administered intramuscularly 4 week apart. All the study participants will be follow-up for 12 months from the administration of first vaccine dose.

Model description
The primary analysis of this study will be a non-inferiority comparison between heterologous versus homologous boost arms 4 weeks after second vaccination within each group of the studied COVID-19 vaccines, i.e., the A1 arm (BBIBP-CorV, Ad26.COV2.S) will be compared with the A2 arm (BBIBP-CorV, BBIBP-CorV), and the B1 arm (Ad26.COV2.S, BBIBP-CorV) will be compared with the B2 arm (Placebo, Ad26.COV2.S). All 360 participants will be used for the primary analysis and the secondary analysis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing BBIBP-CorV - Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (Vero cell) and Ad26.COV2.S (Recombinant, replication-incompetent adenovirus serotype 26 (Ad26) vector encoding a full-length and stabilized SARS-CoV-2 spike protein), in people with Covid19, run by International Vaccine Institute at 2 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 13 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 19 Apr 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 Madagascar, Mozambique. 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. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 Titers (GMTs) of anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies (time frame: Four Weeks after second dose). The study lists 5 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 NCT04998240, 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 19 Apr 2023.
