Study Summary

This trial is testing a new vaccine for adults and adolescents. It will compare the new vaccine to a placebo vaccine to see if it is effective, safe, and causes an immune response. There will also be a substudy to test a fourth dose of the new vaccine in adults who have already received three doses.

Who is the study for?
Adults and adolescents (12+) at high risk for COVID-19 exposure can join this trial. They must have completed the NVX-CoV2373 vaccine series, agree not to join other SARS-CoV-2 trials, be medically stable, and use contraception if of childbearing potential. Exclusions include prior COVID-19 diagnosis, recent or planned vaccines, significant immunosuppression conditions or treatments, pregnancy/breastfeeding intentions within 3 months post-vaccination.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the efficacy and safety of a COVID-19 vaccine with Matrix-M1 adjuvant in adults/adolescents. It includes initial vaccination, booster doses, and evaluates immune response. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the vaccine or placebo during different periods of the study.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include typical reactions like soreness at injection site, fatigue, headache; allergic responses to ingredients; immune system-related symptoms; or more serious events that will be closely monitored.

Answered by AI

What prior research exists on SARS-CoV-2 rS/Matrix-M1 Adjuvant (Booster Vaccination)?

"The SARS-CoV-2 rS/Matrix-M1 Adjuvant (Booster Vaccination) was first trialed in 2011 at the Drug Research Center. So far, 13 have completed. Out of the 10 active studies, a considerable amount are being conducted out of Bardstown, Kentucky."

Answered by AI

What are the central aims of this clinical trial?

"The main objective of this trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of the study vaccine in children and adults over a 375-day period. Secondary objectives include measuring the antibody response to the SARS-CoV-2 rS protein receptor binding epitope in adults and children, assessing the incidence and severity of adverse events of special interest in adults, and measuring the number of deaths due to any cause in the study population."

Answered by AI

What are the risks associated with SARS-CoV-2 rS/Matrix-M1 Adjuvant (Booster Vaccination)?

"Although Phase 3, there is both efficacy and safety data supporting SARS-CoV-2 rS/Matrix-M1 Adjuvant (Booster Vaccination), making it a safe 3."

Answered by AI

What is the study's patient capacity?

"This study is no longer enrolling patients. The original posting was on December 27th, 2020 and the last update was on August 2nd, 2022. If you are seeking other studies, there are 1142 clinical trials for covid-19 and 10 trials for SARS-CoV-2 rS/Matrix-M1 Adjuvant (Booster Vaccination) that are still recruiting patients."

Answered by AI

Have there been similar medical studies to this one before?

"At the moment, there are 10 ongoing clinical trials for SARS-CoV-2 rS/Matrix-M1 Adjuvant (Booster Vaccination) in 9 different countries and 136 cities.
