About this study

Official title: Open-Label, Single-Arm, Phase 3b Study of the Incidence of Severe COVID-19 and Adverse Events Following AZD1222 COVID-19 Vaccination in Botswana Against SARS-CoV-2, AZD1222 - ESR-21-21311

The AstraZeneca Study is a single-arm, open-label, interventional, Phase 3b study to determine the incidence of laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 hospitalizations, disease severity, and deaths and attributable adverse events (AEs) in participants in Botswana given 1 to 2 injections of AZD1222 eight to twelve weeks apart as primary series and/or 1 injection as booster dose. Length of follow-up will be 6 to 12 months, depending upon at which dose a participant is enrolled.

Read the detailed description

The AstraZeneca Study is an Open-Label, Single-Arm, Phase 3b Study of the incidence of severe COVID-19 and adverse events following AZD1222 COVID-19 vaccination in Botswana against SARS-CoV-2. The study enrolled adult participants >18 years (previously >40 years) in Botswana and vaccinate them with 1 to 2 doses of AZD 1222, as primary series and/or 1 dose as booster.

Primary Objectives:

  1. To assess the occurrence of severe COVID-19 disease among individuals vaccinated with AZD1222 by number of vaccine doses.
  2. To assess AEs among individuals vaccinated with at least one dose of AZD1222.

Secondary Objectives:

  1. To assess the occurrence of COVID-19 disease among individuals vaccinated with AZD1222 by number of vaccine doses by age group, co-morbidity group, the severity of disease and the time since the last dose.
  2. To estimate the incidence of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections in a sub-cohort of study participants among individuals vaccinated with at least one dose of AZD1222 by number of vaccine doses

    • Occurrence of hospitalizations and deaths due to laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection from at least 22 days after the first dose / at least 15 days after the second or booster dose, up to 12 months following the first vaccination dose, by age group, comorbidity group, severity of disease, number of vaccine doses, and the time since the last dose
    • Occurrence of laboratory-confirmed symptomatic infection from at least 22 days after the first dose / at least 15 days after the second or booster dose, up to 12 months following the first vaccination dose, by age group, comorbidity group, severity of disease, number of vaccine doses, and the time since the first or second dose

    Measured: From at least 22 days after the first dose / at least 15 days after the second or booster dose, up to 12 months following the first vaccination dose,

  2. Incidence of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections in a sub-cohort of study participants among individuals vaccinated with at least one dose of AZD1222, by number of vaccine doses, and by vaccine exposure

    • Occurrence of laboratory-confirmed symptomatic infection from at least 22 days after the first dose / at least 15 days after the second or booster dose, up to 12 months following the first vaccination dose

    Measured: From at least 22 days after the first dose / at least 15 days after the second or booster dose, up to 12 months following the first vaccination dose

Model description
AZD1222-00001 is a single-arm, Open-label, Phase 3b Study of the Incidence of Severe COVID 19 and Adverse Events Following AZD1222 COVID-19 Vaccination in Botswana Against SARS-CoV-2. Study participants are adults ≥ 18 years of age who have not already received a COVID-19 vaccine primary series and/or booster. Up to 50,000 participants are to be enrolled in the study. A total of 900 enrolled participants will also participate in a sub-study assessing the immunogenicity of AZD1222. These 900 participants in the sub-cohort will have additional assessments. Safety is assessed for the duration of the study. AEs are recorded at 4 weeks post the first, second and booster vaccination dose and quarterly; participants are contacted via text, or telephone call as part of follow up.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing AZD 1222 in people with COVID-19, run by Botswana Harvard AIDS Institute Partnership at 1 site in Botswana.

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 10 inclusion and 18 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 8 Feb 2023. 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 Botswana. 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?

Occurrence of severe COVID-19 disease among individuals vaccinated with AZD1222, (time frame: From at least 15 days after the second or booster dose up to 12 months following the first vaccination dose). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Feb 2023.
