What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Who Tested Positive for IgG Antibodies to the Anti-spike Protein of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

    Anti-spike protein of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) virus Immunoglobulin G (IgG) positivity rate will be assessed from serum blood samples

    Measured: Up to 1 month (post booster vaccination)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proportion of Participants With a Positive COVID-19 Test

    As assessed by medical records and or patient's report

    Measured: Up to 1 month (post third dose)

  2. Number of Participants With COVID-19 Symptom Severity as Measured by the WHO Scale

    World Health Organization (WHO) scale is scored between from 0 -10.

    0: Uninfected; non-viral Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) detected

    1. Asymptomatic; viral RNA detected
    2. Symptomatic; Independent
    3. Symptomatic; Assistance needed
    4. Hospitalized; No oxygen therapy
    5. Hospitalized; oxygen by mask or nasal prongs
    6. Hospitalized; oxygen by Non-invasive Ventilation (NIV) or High flow
    7. Intubation and Mechanical ventilation, partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) /fraction of inspired oxygen (FIO2) >=150 or oxygen saturation (SpO2) /FIO2>=200
    8. Mechanical ventilation, (pO2/FIO2<150 OR SpO2/FIO2<200) or vasopressors (norepinephrine >0.3 microg/kg/min)
    9. Mechanical ventilation, pO2/FIO2<150 and vasopressors (norepinephrine >0.3 microg/kg/min), or Dialysis or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)
    10. Dead

    Measured: Up to 1 month (post third dose)

  3. Number of Participants With Vaccine-related Adverse Events

    Number of Participants with vaccine-related adverse events as collected by the study team.

    Measured: Up to 7 days (post third dose)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing BNT162b2 vaccine and JNJ-78436735 Vaccine in people with Covid19, run by Giselle Guerra at 1 site in United States.

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 12 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jun 2023). 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?

Percentage of Participants Who Tested Positive for IgG Antibodies to the Anti-spike Protein of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (time frame: Up to 1 month (post booster vaccination)). 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 NCT05047640, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 4 Jun 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
