About this study

Official title: Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind Study to Evaluate Immunogenicity Superiority of a Booster Dose With an Omicron or a Trivalent Vaccine Compared to CoronaVac, in Adults Immunized With Different Vaccine Schedules Against SARS-CoV-2 in Chile

Phase 2 clinical trial in adults previously vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2 in Chile with an initial schedule of two doses of CoronaVac® plus two booster doses with different vaccines. Subjects will randomly receive a third booster dose with Omicron, trivalent, or CoronaVac® vaccine. The humoral immunogenicity against COVID-19 will be compared in subjects that received the Omicron or the Trivalent vaccines with subjects that received CoronaVac® to determine the superiority of the two candidate vaccines versus CoronaVac®. Subjects will be followed for 6 months after the booster dose administration.

Read the detailed description

This study will be a phase 2 randomized, double-blind, multicenter clinical trial in fully vaccinated adults, males, and females, who have previously received an initial schedule of two doses of CoronaVac® plus two booster doses with different vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 in Chile. Two groups of participants will be included: Heterologous group: subjects who had received two booster doses with mRNA or viral vector-based vaccine); and homologous group: subjects who have received two booster doses of CoronaVac® in a previous clinical trial (CoronaVac03CL).

Subjects of the heterologous group will randomly receive a booster dose with Omicron, trivalent, or CoronaVac® vaccine. On the other hand, subjects of the homologous group will randomly receive a booster dose of Omicron or trivalent vaccine.

The humoral immunogenicity against COVID-19 will be compared in subjects of the heterologous group that will receive Omicron or trivalent vaccine with subjects that will receive CoronaVac®, to determine the superiority of the two candidate vaccines versus CoronaVac®.

Subjects will be followed for 6 months after the booster dose administration.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

    Differences in the humoral immunogenicity (GMT ratio >1) of the neutralizing antibodies against the Delta and Omicron variants in response to a booster dose of the trivalent vaccine compared to CoronaVac® in adults who have initially received two doses of CoronaVac® and two booster doses with vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 different from CoronaVac® (mRNA or viral vectors (heterologous group)) will be evaluated.

    Measured: Up until 6 months after intervention

  2. Superiority in humoral immunogenicity of neutralizing antibodies against the Omicron variant in response to a booster dose with the Omicron vaccine when compared with CoronaVac® in adults previously immunized against SARS-CoV-2.

    Measured: Up until 6 months after intervention

  3. Non-inferiority of neutralizing antibodies against the Omicron and Delta variants generated by a booster dose of trivalent vaccine when compared to CoronaVac® in adults previously immunized against SARS-CoV-2 in a heterologous schedule.

    Evaluation of the non-inferiority (seroconversion rate ≥5%) of neutralizing antibodies against the Omicron and Delta variants generated by a booster dose of trivalent vaccine when compared to CoronaVac® in adults who have initially received two doses of CoronaVac® and two booster doses with vaccines from other platforms (mRNA or viral vectors (heterologous group)).

    Measured: Up until 6 months after intervention

  4. Non-inferiority of neutralizing antibodies against the Omicron variant generated by a booster dose with Omicron vaccine when compared with CoronaVac® in adults previously immunized against SARS-CoV-2 in a heterologous schedule.

    Measured: Up until 6 months after intervention

  4. Humoral immunogenicity induced by a booster dose with Omicron or trivalent vaccine in adults previously immunized against SARS-CoV-2 in a homologous schedule.

    To evaluate the humoral immunogenicity (GMT and seroconversion of neutralizing antibodies) induced by a booster dose with Omicron or trivalent vaccine in adults who have previously received four doses of CoronaVac® (homologous group) against the ancestral strain, the Omicron, and Delta variants.

    Measured: Up until 6 months after intervention

  5. Cellular immunogenicity generated, in a subgroup of participants, by the administration of a booster dose with Omicron, trivalent or CoronaVac® vaccines against the ancestral strain, the Omicron and Delta variants.

    To evaluate, in a subgroup of participants, the cellular immunogenicity (T cell activation and cytokines secretion) generated by the administration of a booster dose with Omicron, trivalent or CoronaVac® vaccines against the ancestral strain, the Omicron and Delta variants.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing CoronaVac®, Omicron Vaccine and Trivalent Vaccine in people with COVID-19 and Vaccines, run by Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile at 3 sites in Chile.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Chile. 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?

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?

Superiority in humoral immunogenicity of the neutralizing antibodies against the Delta and Omicron variants in response to a booster dose of the trivalent vaccine compared to CoronaVac® in adults previously immunized against SARS-CoV-2. (time frame: Up until 6 months after intervention). The study lists 4 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 NCT05593042, 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 7 Feb 2024.
