What is being measured

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

  1. Seroprotection Rate as Measured by Single Radial Hemolysis (SRH) Antibody Titer for the Vaccine Strain at 21 Days After the Second Vaccination

    Seroprotection rate was measured by SRH antibody titer for BLB-750 Qinghai RG strain at 21 days after second vaccination. Seroprotection rate as SRH antibody titer is defined as the percentage of participants with SRH antibody titer ≥25 mm^2.

    Measured: Day 43 (21 days after the second vaccination)

  2. Seroconversion Rate as Measured by SRH Antibody Titer for the Vaccine Strain at 21 Days After the Second Vaccination

    Seroconversion rate was measured by SRH antibody titer for BLB-750 Qinghai RG strain at 21 days after second vaccination. Seroconversion rate as SRH antibody titer is defined as the percentage of participants with a 50% or more increase in SRH antibody titer from baseline for those who have a baseline value >4 mm^2 or SRH antibody titer ≥25 mm^2 for those who have a baseline value ≤4 mm^2.

    Measured: Day 43 (21 days after the second vaccination)

  3. Geometric Mean Fold Increase (GMFI) in SRH Antibody Titer From Baseline for the Vaccine Strain at 21 Days After the Second Vaccination

    GMFI was measured as geometric mean fold change from baseline in SRH antibody titer for BLB-750 Qinghai RG strain at 21 days after second vaccination.

    Measured: Day 43 (21 days after the second vaccination)

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Seroprotection Rate as Measured by SRH Antibody Titer for the Vaccine Strain at 21 Days After the First Vaccination

    Seroprotection rate was measured by SRH antibody titer for BLB-750 Qinghai RG strain at 21 days after first vaccination. Seroprotection rate as SRH antibody titer is defined as the percentage of participants with SRH antibody titer ≥25 mm^2.

    Measured: Day 22 (21 days after the first vaccination)

  2. Seroconversion Rate as Measured by SRH Antibody Titer for the Vaccine Strain at 21 Days After the First Vaccination

    Seroconversion rate was measured by SRH antibody titer for BLB-750 Qinghai RG strain at 21 days after first vaccination. Seroconversion rate as SRH antibody titer is defined as the percentage of participants with a 50% or more increase in SRH antibody titer from baseline for those who have a baseline value >4 mm^2 or SRH antibody titer ≥25 mm^2 for those who have a baseline value ≤4 mm^2.

    Measured: Day 22 (21 days after the first vaccination)

  3. GMFI in SRH Antibody Titer From Baseline for the Vaccine Strain at 21 Days After the First Vaccination

    GMFI was measured as geometric mean fold change from baseline in SRH antibody titer for BLB-750 Qinghai RG strain at 21 days after first vaccination.

    Measured: Day 22 (21 days after the first vaccination)

  4. Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of SRH Antibody Titer for the Vaccine Strain at 21 Days After Each Vaccination

    GMT was measured by SRH antibody titer for BLB-750 Qinghai RG strain at 21 days after first and second vaccination.

    Measured: Day 22, and Day 43 (21 days after the first and the second vaccination)

  5. Number of Participants Reporting Who Had One or More Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    An Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (eg, a clinically significant abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a drug, whether or not it is considered related to the drug. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is defined as an adverse event with an onset that occurs after receiving study drug.

    Measured: Up to Day 43

  6. Number of Participants With Adverse Events Related to Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events to be Recorded in the Participant Diary

    Local reactions and systemic events were recorded using a diary.

    Measured: Up to Day 43

  7. Change From Baseline in Mean Systolic Blood Pressure at Specific Time Points After Vaccination

    Measured: Baseline, At 30 minutes after the first vaccination and on Day 22 after the first vaccination, and at 30 minutes after the second vaccination and on Day 22 after the second vaccination

  8. Change From Baseline in Mean Diastolic Blood Pressure at Specific Time Points After Vaccination

    Measured: Baseline, At 30 minutes after the first vaccination and on Day 22 after the first vaccination, and at 30 minutes after the second vaccination and on Day 22 after the second vaccination

  9. Change From Baseline in Mean Pulse Rate at Specific Time Points After Vaccination

    Measured: At 30 minutes after the first vaccination and on Day 22 after the first vaccination, and at 30 minutes after the second vaccination and on Day 22 after the second vaccination

  10. Change From Baseline in Mean Respiratory Rate at 30 Minutes After Vaccination

    Measured: Baseline, At 30 minutes after the first vaccination, and at 30 minutes after the second vaccination

  11. Mean Body Temperature at Specific Time Points After Vaccination

    Measured: Baseline, Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 22 after the first vaccination, Days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 22 after the second vaccination

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 29 Jul 2019). 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?

Seroprotection Rate as Measured by Single Radial Hemolysis (SRH) Antibody Titer for the Vaccine Strain at 21 Days After the Second Vaccination (time frame: Day 43 (21 days after the second vaccination)). The study lists 3 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 29 Jul 2019.
