TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title SCTV01E-MRCT-1
Official scientific title A randomized, double-blind, positive-controlled Phase III clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SCTV01E (A COVID-19 Alpha/Beta/Delta/Omicron Variants S-Trimer Vaccine) in population previously unvaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine and aged ≥18 years
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial Novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) is a newly emerging acute respiratory infection caused by the novel coronavirus (2019-nCOV or SARS-CoV-2) infection. COVID-19, first detected in humans in December 2019, has quickly spread to more than 210 countries and regions worldwide. World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern on January 30, 2020, followed by the declaration that the disease has pandemic characteristics on March 11, 2020. As of December 24, 2021, WHO reported a total of 278,551,962 confirmed cases, including 5,401,376 deaths. The outbreak and epidemic of COVID-19 pose a serious threat to human health and survival. At present, vaccine becomes the most effective means to prevent virus infection. Several COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for conditional marketing or emergency use, and COVID-19 vaccines have been inoculated in large scale worldwide. Indication : prevention of COVID 19 Study Objective ; Stage 1 immunization Primary Objective:  To evaluate the protective efficacy of 2 doses of SCTV01E to prevent symptomatic COVID-19 in population previously unvaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. Secondary Objective:  To evaluate the safety of SCTV01E in stage 1. Stage 2 immunization Primary Objective:  To evaluate the protective efficacy of the 3rd dose SCTV01E to prevent symptomatic COVID-19 in population previously unvaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. Secondary Objective:  To evaluate the safety of SCTV01E in stage 2.
