This is a Phase 2/3,
observer-blinded, randomized, controlled study in adults ≥ 18 years and
children of ≥ 2 to 17 years of age in India.
Adult Cohort:
A total of 1600
eligible participants of ≥ 18 years of age will be enrolled in this study. Of
these, 460 participants will be part of reactogenicity and immunogenicity
cohort. The remaining 1140 participants will be part of safety cohort.
All eligible
participants (n=1600) will receive two doses of 0.5 mL each of either COVOVAX
or Control vaccine (Novavax- SARS-CoV-2 rS with Matrix-M1™ Adjuvant) or Placebo
on Day 1 and Day 22 as per randomization. Post vaccination site visits are
planned on Day 22, Day 36, Day 85 and Day 180.
The study will be
conducted in two parts as below:
Phase 2 part: Initial
200 participants have been enrolled in the Safety cohort with 3:1 allocation to
COVOVAX (n=150) or Placebo (n=50).
Phase 3 part:
Enrolment of remaining 1400 participants (940 from the Safety cohort and 460
from the reactogenicity and immunogenicity cohort) will be done.
Pediatric cohort:
The study objective in
this cohort is to evaluate the safety of COVOVAX in comparison with Placebo;
and immunogenicity of COVOVAX in children ≥ 12 to 17 years of age and ≥ 2 to 11
years of age in comparison with adult participants (adult participants in the
reactogenicity and immunogenicity cohort from COVOVAX group), separately.
A total of 920
eligible children of ≥ 2 years of age will be enrolled in this study. Of these,
460 participants will be of ≥ 12 to 17 years of age and 460 participants will
be of ≥ 2 to 11 years of age.
All eligible
participants (n=920) will be randomized in 3:1 ratio to receive two doses of
0.5 mL each of either COVOVAX or Placebo, respectively, on Day 1 and
Day 22.
