About this study

Official title: A Phase 2/3, Observer-Blind, Immuno-bridging, and Broadening Study of a Whole, Inactivated Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) Vaccine (BBV152) in Healthy Adults

A randomized, observer-blind, placebo-controlled immuno-bridging, and broadening study to demonstrate the equivalence of the immune response between participants enrolled in Phase 3 efficacy trial in India and demographically diverse healthy adult participants in the US which matched in age and vaccine formulation setting to whom those efficacy results are extrapolated; and to assess the broadening of the BBV152 in participants who previously received two shots of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months earlier or one-shots of viral vector J\&J/Janssen COVID-19 vaccine at least 2 months earlier. Safety and tolerability evaluation is a secondary endpoint.

Read the detailed description

Participants in stable health will be randomly assigned into one of four groups based on their age to receive either 6 µg of BBV152 or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. Each participant will receive 2 doses of the study vaccine by 0.5 mL intramuscular injection, the first on Day 0 and the second on Day 28. Data will be collected in an observer-blind manner.

Safety will be monitored by the Data and Safety Monitoring Board. The Data and Safety Monitoring Board will convene to perform safety reviews at 2 and 6 months and for immediate concerns regarding safety observations as needed.

Safety assessment will include monitoring solicited, unsolicited, serious, medically attended adverse events and potentially immune medicated medical conditions.

Since this is a bridging study, the maximum sample size of the data from the previous study will be 31 samples from the <65 years population and 358 with samples from the 18 to <65 years population.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing BBV152 in people with COVID-19, run by Ocugen at 10 sites in United States.

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 22 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in United States. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Alice Cousens, RN,MBA (4844338665, Alice.Cousens@ocugen.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Compare immune response measured by serum neutralizing antibodies against Wild-Type SARS-CoV-2 in US-based participants and age-matched controls participants who participated in the Phase 3 efficacy trial in India. (time frame: Vaccination days (Day 0 and Day 28), Day 56 and Day 84). 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 27 Mar 2023.
