Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare different Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination schedules in healthy adults that have not yet been exposed to SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Is it possible to adapt COVID-19 vaccination schedules while maintaining an adequate humoral immune response?
2. Is it possible to adapt COVID-19 vaccination schedules while maintaining an acceptable safety profile?

Participants will be vaccinated twice with a COVID-19 vaccine (on day 0, and on day 28 or 84). After each vaccination, they will collect information about adverse events in a diary for 14 days. Information about the occurrence of events such as hospitalizations and infections with SARS-CoV-2 will be collected by the investigator for up to 364 days after the first vaccination. Blood samples will be taken on different timepoints and used to assess immunity against SARS-CoV-2.

Researchers will compare 8 vaccination schedules to see if the immune response and safety profile is similar. Each participant will receive 1 of the following 8 vaccine schedules:

* BNT162b2 (30µg) on day 0, followed by BNT162b2 (30µg) on day 28
* BNT162b2 (20µg) on day 0, followed by BNT162b2 (20µg) on day 28
* BNT162b2 (30µg) on day 0, followed by BNT162b2 (30µg) on day 84
* BNT162b2 (30µg) on day 0, followed by mRNA-1273 (100µg) on day 28
* BNT162b2 (30µg) on day 0, followed by ChAdOx1-S \[recombinant\] on day 28
* BNT162b2 (6µg, intradermal administration) on day 0, followed by BNT162b2 (6µg, intradermal administration) on day 28
* mRNA-1273 (100µg) on day 0, followed by mRNA-1273 (100µg) on day 28
* mRNA-1273 (50µg) on day 0, followed by mRNA-1273 (50µg) on day 28

Primary Study Purpose

PREVENTION

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Participants Outcome Assessors
Participants were blinded up to the venous blood draw used to assess the primary endpoint (day 112 for the long-interval treatment arm, day 56 for all other treatment arms). Afterwards, participants were unblinded because the registration of all administered COVID-19 vaccines was required by the Belgian government.
