About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open-label, Uncontrolled, Phase I/II Study to Assess Safety and Immunogenicity of Two or Three Dosing of Intramuscular/Intradermal AG0302-COVID19

[ID Groups] Group D: Vaccination 1 mg, three times at 2-week intervals (n = 80) Group E: Vaccination 1 mg, twice at 4-week intervals (n = 80)

Being tested
AG0302-COVID19 for Intramuscular Injection, AG0302-COVID19 for Intradermal Injection

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Frequency and severity of each adverse event, solicited local and systemic AEs from the first vaccination to 12 weeks after first vaccination

    Measured: Week 1 through Week 13

  2. Immunogenicity

    Change in the neutralizing activity against pseudovirus of SARS-CoV-2 [ID50]

    Measured: Week 13

  3. Immunogenicity

    Change in Geometric mean titer (GMT) of serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) glycoprotein-specific antibody

    Measured: Week 13

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Change in GMT of anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) glycoprotein-specific antibody

    Measured: Weeks 5, 7, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 37, 53

  2. Change in the neutralizing activity against pseudovirus of SARS-CoV-2

    Measured: Weeks 5, 7, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 37, 53

  3. Seroconversion rate from baseline (defined as a 4-fold or greater increase) in the neutralizing activity against pseudovirus of SARS-CoV-2 [ID50]

    Measured: Weeks 5, 7, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 37, 53

  4. Change in IFN-gamma production against SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein by T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells

    Measured: Weeks 5, 7, 9, 13

  5. IgG subclasses (IgG1 and IgG2) of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein-specific antibody

    Measured: Weeks 1, 9, 13

  6. Adverse events

    Measured: Week 13 through Week 53

  7. Rate of SARS-CoV-2 positive and incidence rate of COVID-19 after the first vaccination

    Measured: Week 1 through Week 53

  8. Rate of swelling and leakage of the drug to the vaccination site during intradermal vaccination

    Measured: Weeks 1, 3, 5

  9. Number of defects in preparation and vaccination during intradermal vaccination

    Measured: Week 1 through Week 5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AG0302-COVID19 for Intramuscular Injection and AG0302-COVID19 for Intradermal Injection in people with COVID-19 Lower Respiratory Infection, run by AnGes, Inc. at 6 sites in Japan.

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 22 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 9 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (time frame: Week 1 through Week 13). 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 9 Nov 2022.
