About this study
Official title: Phase 2 Clinical Trial to Optimize Immune Coverage of SARS-CoV-2 Existing and Emerging Variants
This phase 2 clinical trial will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of additional doses of prototype and variant (alone or in combination) vaccine candidates in previously vaccinated participants with or without prior severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and will evaluate innate, cellular, and humoral immune responses to inform on how to shift the immune response to cover new variants as they emerge. A randomized open-label, non-placebo controlled, multi-site, multi-stage clinical trial in individuals, 18 years of age and older, who are in a stable state of health, has received a complete authorized/approved vaccine series (primary series + booster either with homologous or heterologous vaccine products) >/ = 16 weeks prior to enrollment. Subjects will be stratified by i) age (18-64 years and = 65 years of age) (however arms 16 and 17 or stage 4 will only enroll participants between the ages of 18-49 years) and ii) history of confirmed prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, and randomly assigned to receive one of several variant vaccines. Enrollment will target a goal of approximately 45% of each of the variant vaccine arms to be in older adults (= 65 years of age) for stages 1, 2 and 3 and approximately 20% to have had confirmed COVID-19 for all 4 stages. The primary objective is to evaluate humoral immune responses of candidate SARS-CoV-2 variant vaccines, alone or in combination.

This phase 2 clinical trial will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of additional doses of prototype and variant (alone or in combination) vaccine candidates in previously vaccinated participants with or without prior severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and will evaluate innate, cellular, and humoral immune responses to inform on how to shift the immune response to cover new variants as they emerge. A randomized open-label, non-placebo controlled, multi-site, multi-stage clinical trial in individuals, 18 years of age and older, who are in a stable state of health, has received a complete authorized/approved vaccine series (primary series + booster either with homologous or heterologous vaccine products) >/= 16 weeks prior to enrollment. Subjects will be stratified by i) age (18-64 years and = 65 years of age) (however arms 16 and 17 or stage 4 will only enroll participants between the ages of 18-49 years) and ii) history of confirmed prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, and randomly assigned to receive one of several variant vaccines. Enrollment will target a goal of approximately 45% of each of the variant vaccine arms to be in older adults (= 65 years of age) for stages 1, 2 and 3 and approximately 20% to have had confirmed COVID-19 for all 4 stages. This is an adaptive design and may add arms of new vaccine platforms and/or variant lineage spike vaccines as needed. The study arms will be conducted in different stages (that could overlap) depending on public health needs and the availability of study products (starting with the available mRNA vaccines). The primary objective is to evaluate humoral immune responses of candidate SARS-CoV-2 variant vaccines, alone or in combination. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of candidate SARS-CoV-2 variant vaccines, as assessed by: a) Local and systemic solicited Adverse Events for 7 days following each vaccine dose; b) Unsolicited Adverse Events from Dose 1 to 28 days following each vaccine dose; c) Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAAEs), Adverse Events of Special Interests (AESIs), New Onset of Chronic Medical (NOCMCs) and Adverse Events (AEs) leading to withdrawal from the study from Dose 1 to 12 months after last vaccine dose.

As the x-axis of this AUC calculation was the dilution factor and the y-axis was the assay result in arbitrary units, the calculated AUC has units of arbitrary units*1/dilution.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This phase 2 clinical trial will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of additional doses of prototype and variant (alone or in combination) vaccine candidates in previously vaccinated participants with or without prior severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and will evaluate innate, cellular, and humoral immune responses to inform on how to shift the immune response to cover new variants as they emerge. A randomized open-label, non-placebo controlled, multi-site, multi-stage clinical trial in individuals, 18 years of age and older, who are in a stable state of health, has received a complete authorized/approved vaccine series (primary series + booster either with homologous or heterologous vaccine products) >/ = 16 weeks prior to enrollment. Subjects will be stratified by i) age (18-64 years and = 65 years of age) (however arms 16 and 17 or stage 4 will only enroll participants between the ages of 18-49 years) and ii) history of confirmed prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, and randomly assigned to receive one of several variant vaccines. Enrollment will target a goal of approximately 45% of each of the variant vaccine arms to be in older adults (= 65 years of age) for stages 1, 2 and 3 and approximately 20% to have had confirmed COVID-19 for all 4 stages. The primary objective is to evaluate humoral immune responses of candidate SARS-CoV-2 variant vaccines, alone or in combination.
Detailed description
This phase 2 clinical trial will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of additional doses of prototype and variant (alone or in combination) vaccine candidates in previously vaccinated participants with or without prior severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and will evaluate innate, cellular, and humoral immune responses to inform on how to shift the immune response to cover new variants as they emerge. A randomized open-label, non-placebo controlled, multi-site, multi-stage clinical trial in individuals, 18 years of age and older, who are in a stable state of health, has received a complete authorized/approved vaccine series (primary series + booster either with homologous or heterologous vaccine products) >/= 16 weeks prior to enrollment. Subjects will be stratified by i) age (18-64 years and = 65 years of age) (however arms 16 and 17 or stage 4 will only enroll participants between the ages of 18-49 years) and ii) history of confirmed prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, and randomly assigned to receive one of several variant vaccines. Enrollment will target a goal of approximately 45% of each of the variant vaccine arms to be in older adults (= 65 years of age) for stages 1, 2 and 3 and approximately 20% to have had confirmed COVID-19 for all 4 stages. This is an adaptive design and may add arms of new vaccine platforms and/or variant lineage spike vaccines as needed. The study arms will be conducted in different stages (that could overlap) depending on public health needs and the availability of study products (starting with the available mRNA vaccines). The primary objective is to evaluate humoral immune responses of candidate SARS-CoV-2 variant vaccines, alone or in combination. The secondary objective is to evaluate the safety of candidate SARS-CoV-2 variant vaccines, as assessed by: a) Local and systemic solicited Adverse Events for 7 days following each vaccine dose; b) Unsolicited Adverse Events from Dose 1 to 28 days following each vaccine dose; c) Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAAEs), Adverse Events of Special Interests (AESIs), New Onset of Chronic Medical (NOCMCs) and Adverse Events (AEs) leading to withdrawal from the study from Dose 1 to 12 months after last vaccine dose.

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 22 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 20 Oct 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 22 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. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Mar 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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 Fold Rise (GMFR) of AUC From Baseline Antibody Against Wa-1 in One Dose Groups. (time frame: Day 29, Day 91, Day 181, Day 271, Day 366). The study lists 43 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 NCT05289037, which also lists 6 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 20 Oct 2025.
