Brief Summary  

Background

In India, currently, Covishield, Covaxin and Sputnik V are being administered to the eligible candidates as homologous prime/boost vaccines. The Center for Disease Control and National Advisory Committee on Immunization have proposed the interchangeability of vaccines to boost immune response and protect the people. However, there is limited evidence that interchangeability of the vaccines will be as effective and safe as the homologous vaccination schedules in India.

Novelty

This study will generate new evidence on the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of interchangeability vaccine schedules for the vaccines available in India.

Objectives

To ascertain the safety, immunogenicity and efficacy of the Covid-19 vaccines (Covishield/Covaxin/Sputnik V) after interchangeability among adults in North India.

Methods

It will be a multicentric open label parallel non-inferiority randomised control trial to determine safety, efficacy and immunogenicity of heterologous prime/boost COVID-19 vaccine schedules [Covishield:Covaxin; Covishield:Sputnik V; Covaxin:Sputnik V] as compared with homologous schedules [Covishield:Covishield; Covaxin:Covaxin; Sputnik V:Sputnik V]. 1537 volunteers will be randomly allocated into any of the six arms [three heterologous arms and three homologous control arms] i.e, 257 per arm in 1:1 ratio. Adverse events, covid-19 infection rate, and antibody titres against spike protein, neutralizing antibody titres and cell mediated immunity will be assessed at various intervals up to 365 days.

Expected outcomes:

Incidence of breakthrough infection rate, adverse events following immunization, and proportion of individuals with reactive antibody titres against spike protein, neutralizing antibodies and lymphocyte proliferation/raised cytokine levels after heterologous prime/boost COVID-19 vaccine schedules as compared with the homologous group.
