Brief Summary

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

SCTV01C-02-1 is a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ clinical trial of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) recombinant bivalent trimeric S protein vaccine manufactured by Sinocelltech, Ltd. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety , tolerability and immunogenicity of the experimental vaccine in healthy adults aged ≥ 18 Years previously unvaccinated.

Detailed Description

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

This study is a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled phase Ⅰ/Ⅱ clinical trial in adults aged ≥ 18 years previously unvaccinated. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety , tolerability and immunogenicity of the experimental SARS-CoV-2 protein vaccine (SCTV01C). The experimental vaccine and adjuvant (one placebo) were both manufactured by Sinocelltech, Ltd., while the saline (the other placebo) was commercially purchased. A total of 752 participants will be enrolled, with 112 at phase Ⅰ, and 640 at phase Ⅱ. There will be two dosage levels (20μg and 40μg), and two age groups (18\~59 years old and ≥ 60 years old ) at both Phase Ⅰ and Phase Ⅱ. All of participants will be assigned to receive two doses of experimental vaccine(20μg or 40μg) or placebo (Adjuvant or Saline) on the schedule of Day 0 and Day 28.
