Brief Summary

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

Eighty percent of the Dutch population has completed a primary COVID-19 vaccination regimen, and 60% of the population received a booster vaccination. Waning immunity, combined with the emergence of antigenically distinct SARS-CoV-2 variants, has led to the consideration of additional booster vaccinations in the Dutch population by autumn 2022. However, despite efforts of the Dutch policymakers, the public's willingness to repeatedly receive COVID-19 booster vaccinations is declining. This is mainly due to a reduced burden of disease by COVID-19, fewer hospitalizations, and fewer deaths. However, population immunity might be one of the major factors responsible for this reduced burden of disease, possibly emphasizing the need for booster vaccinations. In this proposal we will address an important question asked by policymakers: "Are booster vaccinations in autumn recommended for the healthy population?"

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

A multicenter, randomized, controlled trial comparing immune responses 7 and 28 days after an additional COVID-19 booster vaccination between Janssen and mRNA primed HCWs to describe the immune response in a cohort representative of the Dutch population, in order to eventually provide data for Dutch policy makers

Study Groups

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

Direct boost mRNA

Participants will be randomised into a direct boost group (DB; i.e end of August) or a post-poned boost group (PPB; i.e 3-4 months later) group after stratification for priming (mRNA versus Janssen). The immune response will be measured at start of the study (visit 1, all participants) and 0, 7, 28 and 84 days after boost.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Direct boost mRNA

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants will be boosted with a covid-19 vaccin after priming with mRNA

Direct boost adeno

Participants will be randomised into a direct boost group (DB; i.e end of August) or a post-poned boost group (PPB; i.e 3-4 months later) group after stratification for priming (mRNA versus Janssen). The immune response will be measured at start of the study (visit 1, all participants) and 0, 7, 28 and 84 days after boost.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Direct boost adeno

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants will be boosted with a covid-19 vaccin after priming with adeno

Post-poned boost mRNA

Participants will be randomised into a direct boost group (DB; i.e end of August) or a post-poned boost group (PPB; i.e 3-4 months later) group after stratification for priming (mRNA versus Janssen). The immune response will be measured at start of the study (visit 1, all participants) and 0, 7, 28 and 84 days after boost.
