February 10, 2023 updated by: Health Institutes of Turkey

Phase 1 Study for the Determination of Safety and Immunogenicity of Two Different Strengths of the Inactivated COVID-19 Vaccine ERUCOV-VAC, Given Twice Intramuscularly to Healthy Volunteers, in a Placebo Controlled Study Design.

The objective is to determine the safety and immunogenicity of two different strengths (3 µg and 6 µg) of an inactivated COVID 19 Vaccine compared to placebo so that to demonstrate the safety and efficacy in prophylaxis of COVID-19.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This is a double-blind, double dose, parallel, randomized vaccination study. Each subject will receive in random order a double intramuscular dose of ERUCOV-VAC 3 µg/0.5 ml Vaccine, ERUCOV-VAC 6 µg/0.5 ml Vaccine or 0.5 ml of placebo Vaccine according to a sequence determined by randomization, on Day 0 (1st vaccination) and Day 21 (2nd vaccination).In total 34 healthy subjects of both genders will be monitored for one year in total, after Day 43 the study will be unblinded and the volunteers who took placebo vaccine will be released from the study. The most important evaluation will be performed on Day 43 after the first vaccine dose.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study
