Study of Immunogenicity Equivalence of a Homologous Third Dose of Covid-19 (Recombinante) Vaccine
- Conditions
- COVID-19
- Interventions
- Biological: Covid -19 (recombinante) vaccine
- Registration Number
- NCT05142488
- Lead Sponsor
- The Immunobiological Technology Institute (Bio-Manguinhos) / Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz)
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the antibody response, safety and reactogenicity of a third dose Covid-19 (recombinante) vaccine, 6 months after a two-dose vaccine schedule using the same vaccine in all doses.
- Detailed Description
After being informed about the study and potential risks, all participants giving written informed consent will be evaluated for eligibility criteria. At day 0, participants who meet the eligibility requirements will undergo a thorough medical evaluation and a urine pregnancy test (if applicable). Previous vaccination information will be collected with the participant and checked via digital Covid-19 vaccine certification from the Brazilian public health national immunization program system (SI-PNI) ou from Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (Fiocruz) institutional occupational medicine data. According to the data collected, participants will be placed in one of two groups: 8 or 12 weeks interval between the first two vaccine doses in the vaccine schedule. Eligible and consenting participants will have a blood sample collected and receive immediately after a third dose of the Covid-19 (recombinante) vaccine. Participants will be instructed to fill out an adverse events journal for solicited adverse events for 7 days and non-solicited adverse events for 28 days after the third dose. The research team will contact the participant remotely at least once during the first two weeks. The participant will return for a follow-up visit to the research center 28 days after the third dose, to evaluate adverse events, collect a second blood sample and undergo a thorough medical evaluation. The participant will return to the research center to collect blood samples in three more follow-up visits: 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after the third dose.

- Ability to understand and sign the volunteered and informed consent form, and ability to fill in the adverse events journal at home, according to the evaluation of the principal investigator ou delegated research team members.
- Understanding the impossibility of participating in another clinical trial while participating in this clinical trial.
- Receiving another Covid-19 vaccine after inclusion in the study
- Receiving any vaccine 28 days after administration of a third dose of Covid-19 (recombinante) vaccine.
- Refusal to sign the voluntary and informed consent form or refusal to permit collection of blood samples before the third dose of the Covid-19 (recombinante) vaccine.
- Receiving any other vaccine 28 days before the inclusion in the study
- Previous vaccine schedule with other Covid-19 vaccines, in the first and/or second dose.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method IgG Anti-S response after a third dose of Covid-19 (recombinante) vaccine 28 days Equivalence of antibody IgG Anti-S response in geometric mean titers, measured immediately before and 28 days after a third dose of Covid-19 (recombinante) vaccine, administered 6 months after the second dose of a two-dose homologous Covid-19 (recombinante) vaccine schedule, between participants with an 8 and 12 week interval between the first two doses.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety and reactogenicity of a third dose of Covid-19 (recombinate) vaccine 15 months Safety and reactogenicity after a third dose of Covid-19 (recombinate) vaccine, 7 days for solicited adverse events, 28 days for non-solicited adverse events and 12 months for serious adverse events.
Duration of Immunogenicity after the third dose of Covid-19 (recombinate) vaccine after 3, 6 and 12 months 15 months Antibody IgG Anti-S collected immediately before, 28 days, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after the third dose of Covid-19 (recombinante) vaccine.
Neutralizing antibodies in plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) in a smaller sample 28 days Measure neutralizing antibodies in plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) in a smaller sample of participants, immediately before and 28 days after the third dose.
