Brief Summary

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

This clinical trial is a single-blind, randomised study to determine the reactogenicity and immunogenicity of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech) as booster dose in adults, who have previously received either Sinopharm (BBIBP-CorV®), AstraZeneca (ChAdOx1-S, or Vaxzevria®) or Sputnik V (Gam-COVID-Vac®) as their primary doses 6 to 9 months earlier. Both standard and fractional doses will be tested.

Participants are healthy adults aged 18 years or older, with no upper age limit. Procedures will be implemented to ensure participants of all ages (aged 18 and above) are included and that there is an even age distribution (\<50 and ≥50 years) in each group. There will be a total of 6 groups (Sinopharm-standard dose Pfizer, Sinopharm-fractional dose Pfizer, AstraZeneca-standard dose Pfizer, AstraZeneca-fractional dose Pfizer, Sputnik - standard dose Pfizer, Sputnik - fractional dose Pfizer), with 200 participants per group for Sinopharm and 100 for AstraZeneca and Sputnik.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Study participants who have received two doses of either Sinopharm, AstraZeneca or Sputnik vaccine as their primary vaccine will be randomised into one of two groups. The two groups consist of a standard or fractional dose of Pfizer vaccine.
Primary Study Purpose

PREVENTION

Blinding Strategy

QUADRUPLE

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
The participants and those evaluating reactogenicity will be blinded to the vaccine allocation for the first 28 days following vaccination. After that, both clinical investigators and participants will be aware of their investigational product allocation. Laboratory staff will remain blinded to the investigational product allocation during the immunology testing.
