About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity and Reactogenicity of the Beta-variant Recombinant Protein Booster Vaccine (VidPrevtyn Beta, Sanofi) Compared to a Bivalent mRNA Vaccine (Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5, BioNTech-Pfizer) in Adults Previously Vaccinated With at Least 3 Doses of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine: A Non-inferiority Multicenter Single-blinded, Randomized Trial

The objective of this trial is to compare the immunogenicity and the safety of the Beta-variant recombinant protein booster vaccine (VidPrevtyn® Beta, Sanofi) to a bivalent mRNA vaccine (Comirnaty Original/Omicron BA.4-5, BioNTech-Pfizer) in adults previously vaccinated with at least 3 doses of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. The results will provide important data for the future COVID 19 vaccine strategy.

A biobank will also be set up to evaluate the protection conferred by one or other of these vaccines as booster in the event of the emergence of new variants in the future.

Read the detailed description

The efficacy of COVID 19 vaccines for reducing the risk of severe COVID-19 infection is demonstrated in real life.

However, data currently available on the persistence of immunity after vaccination on the one hand and the emergence of viral variants with reduced sensibility to vaccine immunity on the other, raise the need to administer boosters to maintain the protection and to compare different strategies as bivalent mRNA vaccines but also others platforms.

The vaccines currently recommended as boosters in France are mRNA bivalent vaccines, adapted to better match the circulating variants of SARS-CoV-2 and expected to provide broader protection against Omicron sub variants (19). However, the rapid antigenic evolution of SARS-CoV-2 and the antigenic imprinting against the initial Hu-1 strain could reduce their effectiveness.

More recently, the Beta-variant recombinant protein booster vaccine (VidPrevtyn Beta, Sanofi) obtained European authorization and is recommended in France as booster as an alternative to the bivalent mRNA vaccines (21, 22). However, in the absence of comparative data with the bivalent mRNA vaccines, VidPrevtyn Beta is recommended as second line.

It has been shown with vectored vaccines that a heterologous vaccination scheme could be more immunogenic than a homologous scheme (23). Our group previously showed that VidPrevtyn Beta, administered as a third vaccine dose, induces higher immune response than the mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine (Comirnaty, BioNTech-Pfizer), against Beta variant but also others variants of concern (VOC) including Omicron BA1 (20) and Omicron BA4/5 (data submitted for publication). The data available at 3 and 6 months after the boost, show that VidPrevtyn Beta could be also of interest in term of durability of the response (data not published). The hypothesis is that a Beta variant protein recombinant vaccine could enlarge the protection against the variants by overpassing antigenic imprinting and the adjuvant improve the duration of immune response and protection. Moreover, the Beta-variant recombinant protein vaccine could bring an advantage in terms of reactogenicity, acceptability, cost and accessibility.

In this context, as recently pointed by the HAS, comparative data on immunogenicity and reactogenicity between a bivalent mRNA vaccine and the Beta-variant recombinant protein, both administered as boosters, are needed to better adapt the COVID 19 vaccine recommendations for the future.

This study is Comparative, non-inferiority, single-blinded, multicenter, randomized trial.

Randomization in a 1:1 ratio, will be stratified by age (18-60 years and ≥ 60 years of age) and history of SARS-CoV-2 infection

What is being measured

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

    Description:

    There will be a coprimary endpoint : Neutralizing antibody titers against the SARS-CoV-2 variant of most prominent public health interest according to pandemic evolution (among D614G, B.1.351, Omicron sub-variants BA.4-5, BQ1.1 and XBB or another recent variant) and against one of the variant targeted by the vaccines. The two variants will be specified in the statistical analysis plan before D28 data base lock.

    Neutralizing antibody titers will be measured by a microneutralization technique 28 days after the booster 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 7 inclusion and 11 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 29 Jun 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 France. 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?

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?

Neutralizing antibody titers against the SARS-CoV-2 variant of most prominent public health interest and against one of the variant targeted by the vaccines (time frame: 28 Days). 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 29 Jun 2023.
