About

This is a randomized, open-labeled, Phase IIb clinical trial.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the booster vaccine of using one or two doses of COVID-19 Vaccine (Vero Cell), Inactivated, Omicron Strain in Adults above 18 Years Old Who Have Completed Two or Three Doses of mRNA Vaccine or CoronaVac®.

Full description

This is a randomized, open-labeled, Phase IIb clinical trial of 300 participants aged 18 years and above, who have completed two or three doses of mRNA vaccine or CoronaVac® in Hong Kong for at least 90 days after the last dose. After enrollment, the participants will be assigned to 2 groups according to their previous vaccination (mRNA vaccine group and CoronaVac® group) and then each group will be randomly assigned to two study arms at a ratio of 1:1 to receive one or two booster doses of COVID-19 Vaccine (Vero Cell), Inactivated, Omicron Strain.

Enrollment: 221 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

• The participants are willing and able to comply with all schedule visits, sample collection, vaccine plan, and other study procedures;
• The participants must be willing to provide verifiable identification (in accordance with the local regulations), has means to be contacted and to contact the investigator during the study.

• Known allergy to vaccines or vaccine ingredients, and serious adverse reactions to vaccines, such as urticaria, dyspnea, angioneurotic edema;
• Serious chronic disease, serious cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes that cannot be controlled by drugs, hepatorenal disease, malignant tumor, etc.;
• Acute central nervous system diseases such as encephalitis/myelitis, acute disseminating encephalomyelitis, and related disorders;
• Receipt of blood/plasma products or immunoglobulins in the past three months before first vaccination in this study;
• Participation in other studies involving study intervention within 30 days prior to first vaccination in this study;
• Receipt of attenuated live vaccines in the past fourteen days prior to each vaccination in this study;
• Receipt of inactivated or subunit vaccines in the past seven days prior to each vaccination in this study;
• Acute exacerbation or presentation of stable chronic diseases (including but not limited to asthma, migraine, gastrointestinal disorder, etc.);

• According to the investigator's judgment, the participant has any other factors that might interfere with the results of the clinical trial or pose additional risk to the participant due to participation in the study.
