Trial summary

To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in people aged 18 years and older, 300 participants will be enrolled and divided into two groups: low- and high-dose groups. Each dose group (150 people) will be divided into 2 age groups (75 each):18 to 59 years old and ≥ 60 years old. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-blind, Dose-exploring, Placebo-controlled, Multi-center Phase II Clinical Trial Evaluating the Safety and Immunogenicity of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine in Adults Aged 18 Years and Older

To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in people aged 18 years and older, 300 participants will be enrolled and divided into two groups: low- and high-dose groups. Each dose group (150 people) will be divided into 2 age groups (75 each):18 to 59 years old and ≥ 60 years old. The subjects will be randomized into vaccine group or placebo group in a ratio of 2:1. Subjects will complete 2 doses of vaccination on Day 0 and Day 21, in which the low-dose group will received 0.3 ml of the study vaccine or placebo, and the high dose group received 0.5 ml of the study vaccine or placebo.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing COVID-19 mRNA vaccine in people with COVID-19, run by CanSino Biologics Inc. at 3 sites in China.

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 5 inclusion and 23 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 4 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 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?

Immunogenicity of wild type neutralizing antibodies (time frame: 28 days after complete immunization). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05373472, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Dec 2024.
