Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a multi-centre, blinded, randomized controlled trial. LTCF residents ≥ 65 years who have received three doses of mRNA vaccine will be randomized to vaccination with a fourth dose of Pfizer-BioNtech mRNA- COVID-19 vaccine or to vaccination with a control (Prevnar-13 vaccine).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of this study is to test whether vaccinating LTCF residents ≥65 years with a fourth dose of Pfizer-BioNtech mRNA- COVID-19 vaccine as compared to control (PCV13) leads to an increase in detectable neutralizing antibodies. Participants will be randomized to receive either the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine or the Pnemoccocal Prevnar-13 vaccine at baseline after bloodwork is drawn. Another blood sample will be taken 28 days later. After completion of the study, participants in the control group (pneumococcal Prevnar-13 vaccine) will be given a fourth dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine and will have their blood drawn 28 days post-vaccination.

TRIPLE

Participants Investigators Outcome Assessors
Participants, investigators, laboratory staff, safety monitoring committee and research assistants will be blinded. To maintain blinding of the participants, those allocated to the control will receive .5ml Prevnar-13 vaccine to mimic mRNA vaccine. Study vaccine will be administered by unblinded nurses.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Pfizer-BioNtech mRNA- COVID-19

Eligible participants will be vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNtech mRNA- COVID-19. A 0.3ml dose of the vaccine will be administered intramuscularly.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

mRNA- COVID-19

Intervention Type DRUG

Pfizer-BioNtech mRNA- COVID-19 0.3ml dose administered intramuscularly

Pneumococcal Prevnar-13

Eligible participants will be vaccinated with Pfizer Prevar-13 (pneumococcal vaccine) in a blinded manner such that the vaccination with Pfizer-BioNtech mRNA- COVID-19 will be mimicked. That is, a 0.5ml dose of the vaccine will be administered intramuscularly. After completion of the study participants in the control arm will be given a fourth dose of Pfizer-BioNtech mRNA- COVID-19.
