About this study
Official title: A Non-Randomized, Three-Armed, Open-Label, Parallel-Group, Non-Inferiority Trial to Compare the Immunogenicity and Safety of an Adjuvanted Recombinant Spike Protein COVID-19 Vaccine (SpikoGen) in Children Aged 5 to <12 Years and 12 to <18 Years With Adults Aged 18 to 40 Years
This was a non-randomized, three-armed, open-label, parallel-group, non-inferiority trial designed to compare the immunogenicity and safety of the SpikoGen COVID-19 vaccine in children aged 5 to <12 years and 12 to <18 years with adults aged 18 to 40 years. Children aged 12 to <18 years and adults received 25 µg of the recombinant protein together with 15 mg of Advax-SM. Children aged 5 to <12 years received a half-dose of the adjuvanted vaccine. The injection was given in two doses with a 21-day interval in the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant arm. The vaccine immunogenicity was evaluated at 14 days after the second dose. Solicited adverse events were recorded for 7 days after each vaccination. Unsolicited adverse events were collected through one month after the second dose. Safety monitoring was continued through six months after the second dose in children aged 5 to <12 years and 12 to <18 years.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Low-dose SARS-CoV-2 recombinant spike protein + Advax-SM adjuvant and SARS-CoV-2 recombinant spike protein + Advax-SM adjuvant in people with COVID-19, run by Cinnagen at 1 site in Iran.
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 5 inclusion and 11 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 17 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Iran. 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 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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 seroconversion for SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies (time frame: 14 days after the second dose). 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 17 Oct 2022.
