-To assess non-inferiority of the humoral immune response against SARS-Cov-2 infection of different vaccines and adapted vaccine schedules in comparison with the reference schedules (‘group a’ of each brand) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives are:
1. Safety - To evaluate safety and reactogenicity of all different vaccination schedules
2. Health Economics - To assess the impact of all different vaccination schedules on productivity
3. Immunogenicity - To assess non-inferiority of the humoral immune response against SARS-Cov-2 infection of different vaccines and adapted vaccine schedules in comparison with the reference schedule (group a of each brand) - To analyse immunogenicity (T cell response) of all vaccine schedules ( in subset of participants) - To analyse immunogenicity (B cell response) of all vaccine schedules (in subset of participants) - To analyse biophysical characteristics (subclasses and glycosylation) of all vaccine schedules |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | Yes |
E.2.3.1 | Full title, date and version of each sub-study and their related objectives |
No separate title / study is foreseen.
However the T cell and B cell response immunogenicity off all vaccines schedules will be determined based on blood sampling of only a subset ( 30 out of 60 participants in each treatment group).
- To analyse immunogenicity (T cell response) of all vaccine schedules (subset of participants) - To analyse immunogenicity (B cell response) of all vaccine schedules (subset of participants) |

Available at all provided timepoints of the study and is not planning to move abroad for the whole duration of the study 4. In good general health as evidenced by medical history and/or physical examination or adults with pre-existing medical conditions who are in stable condition.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Previous clinical or microbiological confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. 2. Febrile illness within 72hours before first vaccination (this is a temporary exclusion criterion). 3. Unstable, severe, progressive disease in the past 3 months. 4. History of malignancy during the past 5 years. 5. History of severe adverse reaction associated and/or anaphylaxis with a vaccine. 6. Known allergic reactions of any severity to polyethylene glycol [PEG] or to polysorbate (due to potential cross-reactive hypersensitivity with the vaccine ingredient PEG). 7. Primary or secondary immunodeficiency disorders (e.g. immunosuppressive disease or therapy, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection…). 8. Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days in total) of immunosuppressant or other immune-modifying drugs during the period starting 6 months prior to the first vaccine dose. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone 20 mg/day, or equivalent. Inhaled, nasal, opthalmic and topical steroids are allowed. 9. Pregnancy or lactation. 10. History of drug or alcohol abuse. 11. Anything in the opinion of the investigator that would prevent volunteers from completing the study or put the volunteer at risk, including relevant psychiatric diagnosis. 12. Previous vaccination or planned to accept other vaccination during this study with any coronavirus vaccine outside this study. 13. Previous vaccination or planned to accept other vaccination during this study with any coronavirus vaccine outside this study, with the exception of a third COVID-19 vaccine during fall/winter ’21-‘22. 14. Receipt of blood/plasma products or immunoglobulin, from 60 days before study intervention administration or planned receipt throughout the study. 15. Participation in another clinical trial with an IMP or a new medical device within 28 days prior to study entry and/or during study participation. 16. Participant is an employee of the investigator or study site, with direct involvement in the proposed study or other studies under the direction of that investigator or study site, as well as first degree family members and household members of the employees or the investigator, or an employee of the sponsor. |
