A Study of SARS CoV-2 Infection and Potential Transmission in Individuals Immunized With Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine
- Conditions
- SARS-CoV-2 Infection
- Registration Number
- NCT04811664
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to assess SARS CoV-2 infection, viral shedding, and subsequent potential transmission in individuals immunized with the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
- Detailed Description
This study will evaluate the efficacy of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as its effect on peak nasal viral load as a measure of infection and a proxy of infectiousness, in adults aged 18-29.
In the Main study, up to 12,000 participants will be randomized 1:1 to Immediate Vaccination Group 1 (at Months 0 and 1) or Standard of Care Group 2, with vaccination given at Months 4 and 5 if not received off-study previously. Up to an additional 6,000 participants will be enrolled into the Vaccine Declined Group 3 and will also be offered vaccine at Months 4 and 5.
Additional study visits for Group 1 will occur at Months 2 and 4; for Groups 2 and 3, at Months 0 and 2. Study visits may include medical history, vaccine injections, blood collection, nasal swab, SARS-CoV-2 screening, COVID-19 symptom check, and questionnaires.
In addition to the main study participants, the study will also evaluate infectiousness following close contacts with main study participants. Study procedures for close contacts include questionnaires and blood samples; for those who become SARS-CoV-2 infected, study procedures will also include nasal swabs.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Effect of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine on Mean Peak Nasal Viral Load Measured through Month 4 study visit As a measure of infection and a proxy of infectiousness, mean observed peak viral load (minimum cycle threshold) in nasal samples from FAS-P participants diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection, stratified by lab and target (nucleocapsid gene N1 or N2). Nasal swabs were to be collected daily, and viral load was measured on available specimens taken between the first and last days of PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Due to early termination, the study was underpowered to look at the vaccine effect on viral load and limited descriptive analysis was performed. The number participants analyzed per row is less than the overall number analyzed as participants were only analyzed by one of the two labs and in few cases the N2 target values could not be measured.
Efficacy of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Against SARS-CoV-2 Infection Measured through Month 4 study visit Incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection diagnosed by study PCR among baseline negative participants, with exposure starting from first study PCR and censored at last PCR/outside vaccination and exposure period for the Immediate arm additionally limited to period after the second vaccine dose (period unrestricted for Standard of Care and Vaccine Declined arms: by definition corresponds to unvaccinated exposure). Exact confidence interval.
Effect of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine on Median Peak Nasal Viral Load Measured through Month 4 study visit As a measure of infection and a proxy of infectiousness, median observed peak viral load (minimum cycle threshold) in nasal samples from FAS-P participants diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 infection, stratified by lab and target (nucleocapsid gene N1 or N2). Nasal swabs were to be collected daily, and viral load was measured on available specimens taken between the first and last days of PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Due to early termination, the study was underpowered to look at the vaccine effect on viral load and limited descriptive analysis was performed. The number participants analyzed per row is less than the overall number analyzed as participants were only analyzed by one of the two labs and in few cases the N2 target values could not be measured.

Efficacy of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine Against COVID-19 Disease Confirmed by PCR Test and Symptoms Measured through Month 4 study visit Evaluated by SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by PCR among participants who were SARS-CoV-2 seronegative at enrollment; reporting at least 2 of the following systemic symptoms: Fever (≥ 38ºC), chills, myalgia, headache, sore throat; or reporting at least one of the following signs/symptoms: cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, new olfactory or taste disorder, clinical or radiographical evidence of pneumonia, thromboembolic event, myocardial infarction, myocarditis, chilblains, or multi-inflammatory syndrome
