A Phase III Trial to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of a HIPRA's Candidate Booster Vaccination Against COVID-19.

A Phase III, Open Label, Single Arm, Multi-centre, Trial to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Booster Vaccination With a Recombinant Protein RBD Fusion Heterodimer Candidate (PHH-1V) Against SARS-CoV-2, in Adults Vaccinated Against COVID-19.

This is a phase III clinical study to assess the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of PHH-1V as a booster dose in healthy adult subjects vaccinated against COVID-19 with the Comirnaty, Spikevax, Vaxevria or Janssen vaccine.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2 Acute Respiratory Disease
• Intervention / Treatment: Biological: COVID-19 Vaccine 40 ug/dose

Detailed Description

This is a phase III clinical study to assess the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of PHH-1V as a booster dose in healthy adults vaccinated against COVID-19 with the Comirnaty, Spikevax, Vaxevria or Janssen vaccine at least 91 days before day 0.
