About this study

This is a phase 3, adaptive, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo control study to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the Nanocovax vaccine against COVID-19 in volunteer subjects 18 years of age and older.

Age stratified as 18-45, 45-60, and > 60 years of age.

The assessment of immunogenicity will be further expanded in a subset of Phase 3 (1000 participants).

Randomly assigned to vaccine or placebo group with a ratio of 2:1 (2 subjects injected with Nanocovax 25 mcg : 1 subject injected with placebo).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Be a male or female 18 years of age or older.
  • For females: Be of non-childbearing potential or willing to use appropriate contraceptive measures for 30 days prior to vaccination through 6 months after completion of the vaccine series.
  • Willingness to provide a signed, printed, and dated informed consent form.
  • Able and willing to participate in all activities in the clinical trial.
  • Participants with HIV, HBV, HCV should have a health record, determined to be stable for 6 months prior to the screening.

Exclusion criteria

  • Participants with unstable pre-existing medical conditions over the three months before enrollment (condition that has worsened to require hospitalization or significant changes in therapy).
  • Planned administration/administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol from within 45 days before the first dose of study vaccine.
  • Previous vaccination with any Covid-19 vaccine.
  • History of COVID-19 disease.
  • History of allergic reactions or anaphylaxis to previous immunizations or allergies to any components of the vaccine.
  • Planning to become pregnant or planning to discontinue contraceptive precautions during the vaccination phase through 6 months after the second immunization.
  • History of bleeding disorders/hemostasis or use of anticoagulants.
  • Currently having cancer or undergoing cancer treatment.
  • Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within 3 months prior to the first vaccine dose (inhaled and topical steroids are allowed).
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of participants who experience a first episode of virologically-confirmed {reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positive} case of COVID-19 of any severity

    Time frame: From 14 days after the second dose of study intervention to the end of the study, up to 1 year

    Per 1000 person-years of follow-up

  2. Percentage of participants reporting Serious adverse events or medically attended adverse events

    Time frame: From dose 1 through one year after the last dose

  3. Geometric mean of Anti-S IgG concentrations at each time point in a subset of participants

    Time frame: days 0, 42, 180, 365 after vaccination

  4. Geometric mean of SARS-CoV-2 serum neutralizing titers by Plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) at each time point in a subset of participants

    Time frame: days 0, 42 after vaccination

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of participants reporting solicited local and systemic reactions

    Time frame: 7 days after each study vaccination

  2. Percentage of participants reporting unsolicited vaccine-related ≥ Grade 2 adverse events

    Time frame: 28 days after each study vaccination

  3. Proportion of participants achieving ≥4-fold rise of Anti-S IgG at each time point in a subset of participants

    Time frame: days 0,42, 180, 365 after vaccination

  4. T-cell responses (intracellular cytokine staining)

    Time frame: days 0, 42 after vaccination

    Change from baseline in the cell-mediated immune response in a subset of participants

  5. Number of participants who experience a first episode of virologically-confirmed {reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positive} asymptomatic case of COVID-19

    Time frame: From 14 days after the second dose of study intervention to the end of the study, up to 1 year

    Per 1000 person-years of follow-up

  6. Number of participants who experience a first episode of virologically-confirmed {reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positive} mild case of COVID-19

    Time frame: From 14 days after the second dose of study intervention to the end of the study, up to 1 year

    Per 1000 person-years of follow-up

  7. Number of participants who experience a first episode of virologically-confirmed {reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) positive} moderate to severe case of COVID-19

    Time frame: From 14 days after the second dose of study intervention to the end of the study, up to 1 year

    Per 1000 person-years of follow-up

  8. Number of participants who death due to covid-19 confirmed with (RT-PCR) positive

    Time frame: From 14 days after the second dose of study intervention to the end of the study, up to 1 year

    Per 1000 person-years of follow-up
