Efficacy, Immunogenicity and Safety of BBIBP-CorV Vaccine Against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Infection. (ECOVA-01)

August 9, 2021 updated by: International Vaccine Institute

A Phase 3, Randomized, Observer-blind, Controlled Trial to Assess the Efficacy, Immunogenicity and Safety of BBIBP-CorV Vaccine Against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Infection

To expand the access and delivery of COVID-19 Vaccines in Africa (ECOVA), the investigators will conduct a phase 3, individually randomized, observer-blind, controlled (influenza vaccine) trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the BBIBP-CorV vaccine against any severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV- 2) infection among adults 18 years and older. The BBIBP-CorV vaccine is an inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (Vero cell) manufactured by the Beijing Institute of Biological Products (BIBP), China National Biotec Group (CNBG), Sinopharm, Beijing, People's Republic of China and received emergency use authorization (EUA) from World Health Organization (WHO).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The investigators will conduct a randomized, observer-blind, controlled, phase 3 trial will be conducted to assess the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of two doses of intramuscular BBIBP-CorV vaccine, followed by a booster dose, in adults 18 years of age and older. . Study Arms 1 and 2 will have two groups: group 1 - HIV-uninfected receiving BBIBP-CorV or Flu Quadrivalent; group 2 - HIV-infected receiving BBIBP-CorV or Flu Quadrivalent. Arm 3 will have 1 group - HIV-uninfected co-administration group receiving both vaccines. The randomization will be stratified by HIV status. Active surveillance for covid-19 will be carried out and immunogenicity will be assessed for a subset of population.
