Active clinical trials for "COVID-19"

This is a multicenter, parallel groups, partially randomized, open-label, blank-controlled adaptive platform study to evaluate the effectiveness of a second COVID-19 vaccine booster in Chinese adults who are charactered as the majority of whom with hybrid immunity of COVID-19 vaccination and COVID-19 breakthrough infection. Individuals aged 18 years and over, include the elderly over 60 years old or those with underlying diseases (history of underlying medical conditions diagnosed by a clinician, including hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, etc). The eligible participants with an interval ≥ 4 months after previous SARS-CoV-2 infection (or had never been infected) and ≥ 6 months from the first COVID-19 vaccine booster will be recruited. Participants who are not willing to receive the second booster but are consent to participate the surveillance for COVID-19, will be included as a blank control. Informed consent will be acquired from eligible participants. Other participants who are willing to receive the second booster and participate the surveillance for COVID-19, will be randomly allocated in a ratio of 1: k (k is the number of vaccine types) to the different investigational vaccines, stratified according to age and history of COVID-19 infection. The symptomatic COVID-19 cases will be reported and documented in both the investigational and control groups. The occurrence of serious adverse events within 6 months after vaccination will be observed. Moreover, blood and nasal mucosa samples will be collected on the day 0 before and day 14, month 3 and 6 after the booster vaccination in a subgroup for humoral, cellular and mucosal immunogenicity analysis. Moreover, oral specimens will be collected once for all participants on the day of enrollment.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a culturally sensitive COVID-19 testing intervention designed for Francophone (French speaking) African Born Immigrants (FABI) . The main question this study aims to answer is whether or not a a culturally sensitive COVID-19 educational pamphlet added to the home-based test will improve testing rates compared to receiving a standard home-based test alone.

While COVID-19 vaccine uptake has generally been high in Canada, with 83.4% of the total population having received the first two doses (i.e., primary series), additional "booster" uptake has been slower, especially among young adults aged 18-39. Throughout the pandemic, young adults have experienced less personal risk from COVID-19 infection and this has led to lower motivation to vaccinate when it is recommended. Achieving high rates of up-to-date vaccine coverage is important in this group to anticipate new variants and waves of infection and changes to recommendations which might include annual or seasonal vaccination. Three video interventions, intended to motivate Canadian young adults to adopt positive intentions toward continued COVID-19 vaccination, will be developed and tested: an informational comparison video, an altruistic video, and an individualistic video. Participants will be 3300 Canadian younger adults who will be randomly assigned to watch these videos. The first arm will only receive the informational video, the second arm the informational and altruistic videos, and the third arm the informational, altruistic, and individualistic videos. All participants will complete a brief online survey before and after viewing the assigned video(s). The goal of the study is to examine the efficacy of altruistic and individualistic messages, beyond informational messages, in increasing intentions for COVID-19 vaccination in this age group.

Background Recent studies indicate that a 2nd booster dose is associated with lower risk of severe COVID-19. The studies are based on Israeli registry data, comparing outcomes among individuals who have taken the booster, or not. Interpreting the findings from such non-experimental studies is challenging - there are likely systematic differences between those who accept the offer to take a booster dose, and those who do not. Aim Determine the effect of offering vaccination with a 2nd COVID-19 booster dose on severe COVID-19, measured by hospitalization and death caused by COVID-19. Methods Intervention group: A random sample drawn from the whole population aged 45-64 years with 3 doses of COVID-19 vaccine will receive a personal offer to receive the 4th dose of a COVID-19 vaccine in their municipality. Control group: The rest of the population aged 45-64 with 3 doses, who will receive no such offer. Randomization: The investigators will draw a set of birth dates - can then see who is in the intervention group in Beredt C19 (Norwegian emergency preparedness register for COVID-19) without identifying them individually (personal identification numbers are encrypted). Primary outcome: Hospitalization or death caused by COVID-19 in a period of 10 weeks after invitations are sent. Sample size calculations: 300 000 individuals in the intervention group, assuming risk of the primary outcome is at least 15% lower in the intervention group. (The investigators expect a large proportion NOT to accept the invitation to take the vaccine).

AZD3152, a single mAb, is being developed to have broad neutralizing activity across known SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern for pre-exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19. The aim of the Phase II study is to evaluate the safety, neutralizing activity and efficacy of AZD3152 for pre exposure prophylaxis of COVID-19

A dose-escalation, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 1 study to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of a SARS-CoV-2 Booster Vaccine (LEM-mR203) in healthy adults aged at 19 to 55 years

The study will be conducted in two phases using a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design. A phase II trial will be initiated to assess the safety of LYB001 as booster shots, and then proceed to a phase III trial to assess the vaccine efficacy (VE) of LYB001 against COVID-19 after an acceptable safety profile, per the judgement of Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), within 28 days after booster in the phase Ⅱ trial is assessed. After collection of 155 COVID-19 cases, all participants will get unblinded. Participants assigned to the placebo group can choose to receive LYB001 vaccine at their own discretion. Phase II stage: The purpose of phase Ⅱ study is to assess the safety of healthy subjects aged 18 years and older who have completed two-dose or three-dose inactivated COVID-19 vaccine for 6-18 months. About 200 age s-stratified subjects aged over 18 years will be randomly assigned to receive the LYB001 or placebo in a 1:1 ratio in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm. The Phase III study will be initiated after the DSMB confirm that all subjects in Phase II experience acceptable safety profile within 28 days after booster. All subjects in Phase II trial will be required to complete efficacy follow-ups for 12 months along with safety observation, and will be included in the Phase III efficacy analysis set (Phase II data will eventually be combined with Phase III data for statistical analysis, including efficacy and safety data). Phase III stage: A total of 17800 participants aged 18 years and older who have completed two-dose or three-dose inactivated COVID-19 vaccine for 6-18 months. The participants will be randomly assigned to the LYB001 booster or placebo booster group in 1:1 ratio according stratification factors of study center and age (18-59 years vs. ≥60 years) , with participants aged ≥ 60 years accounting for over 20 percent of total population. After booster vaccination, all subjects will be evaluated for protective efficacy and safety, and 1000 subjects (800 subjects aged 18-59 years, and 200 subjects aged ≥60 years) will be enrolled in the subgroup for immunogenicity evaluation (LYB001: Placebo=1:1). All subjects will be followed up to 12 months after booster vaccination. The entire clinical study will be completed after the pre-defined COVID-19 cases has been achieved and each participant has completed 12-month follow-ups.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and immune responses of the study vaccine (called a bivalent BNT162b2 Omicron containing vaccine) in healthy infants and children. Sub study A of this clinical trial will test up to four different dose levels of the vaccine in infants who are under 6 months of age and have not previously received a coronavirus vaccination. This will be a 3- dose primary series of the study vaccine with each dose separated by 8 weeks.

The study is a randomized, double-blind, positive-controlled Phase II booster study. It will evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of SCTV01E compared with Comirnaty.

Phase II, non-randomized, open-label, comparative, national, multicenter trial in Mali, aimed to assess the humoral vaccine immune response induced by Ad26.COV2.S and NVX-CoV2373 vaccines in 400 adults (200 participants for each vaccine), one month after receiving the complete vaccination schedule of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine.
