An Efficacy, Immunogenicity and Safety Study Investigating an Adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 Influenza Vaccine to Protect Against COVID-19 in Adults Over Aged 18 Years-old and Older
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The primary efficacy objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of aCoV2 versus a placebo to prevent the first occurrence of virologically-confirmed symptomatic COVID 19 according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) COVID 19 case definition. The co-primary efficacy objective is to demonstrate the efficacy of aCoV2 versus a placebo to prevent virologically confirmed symptomatic COVID 19 defined by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 Subunit vaccine (aCoV2) The experimental group will receive a 2-dose series of 0.5 mL of the study vaccine, administered intramuscularly (IM) into the deltoid muscle, preferably in the non-dominant arm, Day 1 and Day 29 (e.g. 28 days apart) |
Drug: Adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 Subunit vaccine (aCoV2)
Biological/Vaccine: Investigational adjuvanted SARS-CoV-2 Subunit vaccine
Other Names:

| Placebo Comparator: The Comparator Group - Placebo The comparator group will receive a 2-dose series of 0.5 mL of the study vaccine, administered intramuscularly (IM) into the deltoid muscle, preferably in the non-dominant arm, Day 1 and Day 29 (e.g. 28 days apart) |
Drug: Comparator
Biological/Vaccine: A dose of 0.5 mL saline for injection will be administrated to subjects randomized to receive the placebo

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Primary endpoint - preventing first occurrence of virologically-confirmed (RT-PCR) symptomatic COVID-19 cases as defined by ECDC guidance [14 days post vaccination through until 12 months after the last vaccination.]
- Co-primary endpoint - If successful, the co-primary measure of efficacy is preventing first-occurrence of symptomatic COVID-19 as defined by the US FDA guidance [14 days post vaccination through until 12 months after the last vaccination.]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Secondary endpoint #1 - preventing first occurrence of RT-PCR confirmed severe COVID-19 [14 days post vaccination through until 12 months after the last vaccination]
- Secondary endpoint #2 - number of subjects hospitalized with RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 versus placebo [14 days post vaccination through until 12 months after the last vaccination]
- Secondary endpoint #3- number of subjects admitted to ICU with RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 versus placebo [14 days post vaccination through until 12 months after the last vaccination]
