Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
COVID-19
Registration Number
NCT04341389
Lead Sponsor
Institute of Biotechnology, Academy of Military Medical Sciences, PLA of China
Brief Summary

This is a phase II, randomised, double-blinded and placebo-controlled clinical trial in healthy adults above 18 years of age. This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Ad5-nCoV which encodes for a full-length spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2.

Detailed Description

This is a phase II, randomised, double-blinded and placebo-controlled clinical trial in healthy adults above 18 years of age,inclusive, who meet all eligibility criteria. This clinical trial is designed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Ad5-nCoV which encodes for a full-length spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2. 500 subjects will be enrolled, 250 subjects in middle-dose vaccine group, 125 subjects in low-dose and placebo group, respectively. Immunogenicity will be tested on days 0, 14, 28 and 6 months after vaccination
