What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cases of the first occurrence of symptomatic COVID-19 of any severity starting 7 days (≥8 days) after the study vaccination
After the study vaccination, participants were contacted weekly to inquire about any signs or symptoms related to COVID-19. Participants were encouraged to report any COVID-19-related symptoms they experienced spontaneously during the study period.
Measured: 7 days after the study vaccination
Secondary outcomes (8)
cases of the first occurrence of all infection, asymptomatic infection, infection with multiple symptoms, moderate, severe, and death due to COVID-19, starting 7-days post-vaccination
Participants were contacted weekly to inquire about any signs or symptoms related to COVID-19. Participants were encouraged to report any COVID-19-related symptoms they experienced spontaneously during the study period.
Measured: 7 days after the study vaccination
Cases of the first occurrence of all infection, asymptomatic infection, symptomatic infection, infection with multiple symptoms, respectively, starting 14-days post- vaccination.
Participants were contacted weekly to inquire about any signs or symptoms related to COVID-19. Participants were encouraged to report any COVID-19-related symptoms they experienced spontaneously during the study period.
Measured: 14 days after the study vaccination
Cases of the first occurrence of symptomatic infection, infection with multiple symptoms, moderate, severe and death due to COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2 variants, starting 14-days post-vaccination.
Participants were contacted weekly to inquire about any signs or symptoms related to COVID-19. Participants were encouraged to report any COVID-19-related symptoms they experienced spontaneously during the study period.
Measured: 14 days after the study vaccination
Immunogenicity: GMT of neutralizing antibody (nAb) against SARS-CoV-2 variants or subvariants on 7, 14, 28, 90, 180 and 365 days post-vaccination
Blood samples were collected from participants in the immunogenicity subgroup on 0 (pre-injection), 14, and 28 days post-vaccination. Additional blood samples were collected from 200 participants in the immunogenicity subgroup on 7, 90, 180 and 365 days post-vaccination for geometric mean titers (GMTs) of live virus neutralizing antibodies against Omicron BA.5 variant using 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50).
Measured: Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 90, Day 180 and Day 365
Immunogenicity: Seroresponse rate of nAb against SARS-CoV-2 (including its variants and subvariants) on Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 90, Day 180 and Day 365.
the sereresponse rates (SRRs) of nAb (change from <lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) to ≥4 ×LLOQ, or at least a fourfold rise if baseline ≥LLOQ) compared with the pre-injection baseline (95%CI) against SARS-CoV-2 variants or subvariants
Measured: Day 0, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 90, Day 180 and Day 365
Safety: Incidence and severity of solicited AEs of SCTV01E from D0 to D7.
Both active monitoring and spontaneous reporting were used. Solicited AEs within 7 days after the study vaccination were collected through vaccination record cards (VRCs).
Measured: Day 0 to Day 7 after the study vaccination.
Safety: Incidence and severity of unsolicited AEs of SCTV01E from D0 to D28.
Both active monitoring and spontaneous reporting were used. Unsolicited AEs within 28 days after the study vaccination were collected through vaccination record cards (VRCs).
Measured: Day 0 to Day 28 after the study vaccination.
Safety: Incidence and severity of SAEs and AESIs from D0 to D365.
Serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events of special interest (AESIs) were collected by investigators via phone calls, short messages, e-mails, visits on-site, or other contact methods for up to 365 days.
Measured: Day 0 to Day 365 after the study vaccination.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing SCTV01E in people with COVID-19 and SARS-CoV-2 Infection, run by Sinocelltech Ltd. at 1 site in China.
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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2024. 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 China. 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 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?
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?
Cases of the first occurrence of symptomatic COVID-19 of any severity starting 7 days (≥8 days) after the study vaccination (time frame: 7 days after the study vaccination). 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 NCT05308576, 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 15 Apr 2024.
