5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The aim of the clinical study is to study the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity indicators of the EpiVacCorona vaccine, with the involvement of volunteers aged 60 years and above. The research tasks are to: to evaluate the safety of the EpiVacCorona vaccine when administered twice intramuscularly, with the participation of volunteers aged 60 years and older; to evaluate the reactogenicity of the EpiVacCorona vaccine when administered twice intramuscularly, with the participation of volunteers aged 60 years and older; to identify any adverse effects to the administration of the vaccine; to study the humoral and cellular immune responses response following two doses of the EpiVacCorona vaccine, with the participation of volunteers aged 60 and older.
Detailed Description
The study will screen a maximum of 180 volunteers, of which it is proposed to include and randomize 150 men and women aged 60 years and older who meet the inclusion criteria and who do not have the exclusion criteria whose data will be used for subsequent safety and immunogenicity analysis. The 150 volunteers will be vaccinated with the EpiVacCorona vaccine with two doses spaced 21 days apart, intramuscularly, at a dose of 0.5 ml. The vaccine will be administered in procedure room settings only by a highly qualified specialist (vaccinator).

Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
150 volunteers who will be vaccinated with the EpiVacCorona vaccine with two doses spaced 21 days apart, intramuscularly, at a dose of 0.5 ml
Intervention Type
Biological
Intervention Name(s)
EpiVacCorona (EpiVacCorona vaccine based on peptide antigens for the prevention of COVID-19)
Intervention Description
The EpiVacCorona vaccine is intended to prevent COVID-19. The vaccine relies on chemically synthesized peptide antigens of SARS-CoV-2 proteins conjugated to a carrier protein and adsorbed on an aluminum-containing adjuvant (aluminum hydroxide). The vaccine induces the specific immunity against the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus following two intramuscular injections spaced 21 to 28 days apart. The EpiVacCorona vaccine contributes to the development of protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus following two intramuscular administrations given 21 to 28 days apart.
