UNAIR Inactivated COVID-19 Vaccine as Heterologue Booster (Immunobridging Study)

June 21, 2023 updated by: Dr. Soetomo General Hospital

Immunobridging Study: Immunogenicity and Safety of Vaksin Merah Putih - UA SARS-CoV-2 (Vero Cell Inactivated) Vaccine as Heterologue Booster in Adult Subjects in Indonesia

This is an observer blind randomized controlled trial study to evaluate the humoral immunogenicity profile - neutralizing antibody - after 28 days following vaccination with Vaksin Merah Putih - UA SARS-CoV-2 (Vero Cell Inactivated) vaccine as heterologue booster compared with CoronaVac administered intramuscularly in healthy adults age 18 year and above.

Vaksin Merah Putih - UA SARS-CoV-2 (Vero Cell Inactivated) vaccine is an inactivated vaccine made of SARS-CoV-2 virus isolated from a patient in Surabaya, composed with aluminium hydroxy gel, tween 80, and L-histidine, and this will be the first booster study in human.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is an observer blind randomized controlled trial. There will be 2 groups in the study. First group will receive CoronaVac vaccine, manwhile the other group will receive Vaksin Merah Putih - UA SARS-CoV-2 (Vero Cell Inactivated) vaccine. The inclusion and exclusion criteria for the subjects were listed below. All subjects will receive either one dose of CoronaVac or Vaksin Merah Putih - UA SARS-CoV-2 (Vero Cell Inactivated) vaccine and be followed for 6 months. The vaccine will be administered intramuscularly.

This study will have one interim and one full analysis reports. The main focus is immunogenicity and safety issues.

Data Safety Monitoring Board will be commissioned for this study to evaluate safety data over the study period and to review any events that meet a specific study pausing rule or any other safety issue that may arise. They will review the blinded 7 and 28 days safety data following the vaccine, and then the 3 and 6 months safety data. The immunogenicity data will be evaluated until 6 months.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Healthy adults and elderly, males and females, 18 years of age and above. Healthy status will be determined by the investigator based on medical history, clinical laboratory results, vital sign measurements, and physical examination at screening.
  2. Subjects already received 2 (two) doses of CoronaVac inactivated vaccines at least 6 months prior to this study.
  3. Subjects have been informed properly regarding the study and signed the informed consent form
  4. Subject will commit to comply with the instructions of the investigator and the schedule of the trial
  5. Female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to consistently use any methods of contraception (except the periodic abstinence) from at least 21 days prior to enrollment and through 6 months after the vaccination.
  6. Participants agree not to donate bone marrow, blood, and blood products from the vaccine administration until 3 months after receiving the vaccine.
  7. Participants must be willing to provide verifiable identification, has means to be contacted and to contact the investigator during the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects concomitantly enrolled or scheduled to be enrolled in another vaccine trial
  2. Evolving mild, moderate, and severe illness, especially infectious diseases or fever (axillary temperature 37.5oC or more) concurrent or within 7 days prior to study vaccination. This includes respiratory or constitutional symptms consistent with SARS-CoV-2 (cough, sore throat, difficulty in breathing, etc)
