Brief summary

Randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multi-center clinical trials of the tolerability, safety and immunogenicity of the inactivated whole-virion concentrated purified vaccine against COVID-19, manufactured by FSBSI Chumakov FSC R&D IBP RAS, on adult volunteers aged 18-60 (Clinical trials, phase I/II). Study purpose is to assess the tolerability, safety and immunogenicity of the inactivated whole-virion concentrated purified coronavirus vaccine sorbed on adult volunteers aged 18-60.

Detailed description

The study is divided into 3 stages. At Stages I and II of the study, a maximum of 300 healthy volunteers aged 18 to 60 years should be screened, of which 200 volunteers meeting the inclusion criteria and not non-inclusion criteria, should be included and randomized to study the tolerability and safety of the vaccine. Stage I includes 15 men and women: Group 1 - 10 volunteers who will receive the Vaccine twice with an interval of 14 days intramuscularly in a dose of 0.5 ml with a post-vaccination observation period of 28 days. Group 2 - 5 volunteers who will receive placebo twice with an interval of 14 days intramuscularly at a dose of 0.5 ml with a post-vaccination observation period of 28 days. Stage II includes 185 volunteers: Group 1 - 140 volunteers who will receive the Vaccine twice with an interval of 14 days intramuscularly in a dose of 0.5 ml with a post-vaccination observation period of 28 days. Group 2 - 45 volunteers who received placebo twice with an interval of 14 days intramuscularly in a dose of 0.5 ml with a post-vaccination observation period of 28 days. Stage III of the study, a maximum of 300 volunteers should be screened, of which 200 volunteers, meeting the inclusion criteria and not non-inclusion criteria, should be included and randomized to study the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine. Group 3 - 150 volunteers who will receive the vaccine twice with an interval of 14 days intramuscularly in a dose of 0.5 ml with a period of post-vaccination observation for 6 months. Group 4 - 50 volunteers who will receive placebo twice with an interval of 14 days intramuscularly in a dose of 0.5 ml with a post-vaccination observation period of 6 months.

Interventions

Volunteers (10 at the Stage 1; 140 at the Stage 2; 150 at the Stage 3) will receive the vaccine twice spaced 14 days apart, intramuscularly, at a dose of 0.5 ml

Volunteers (5 at the Stage 1; 45 at the Stage 2; 50 at the Stage 3) will receive the vaccine twice spaced 14 days apart, intramuscularly, at a dose of 0.5 ml

Inclusion criteria

Volunteers must meet the following inclusion criteria: * Healthy volunteers (men and women) aged 18-60; * Written informed consent of volunteers to participate in a clinical trial; * Volunteers who are able to comply with the requirements of the Protocol (i.e. filling out the Self-Observation Diary, come to control visits); * For women capable of childbearing, a negative pregnancy test and consent to adhere to adequate contraceptive methods (use of contraceptives within six months after the second vaccination). Women should use contraceptive methods that are more than 90% reliable (cervical caps with spermicide, diaphragms with spermicide, condoms, intrauterine devices), or be sterile or postmenopausal. * For fertile men, consent to adhere to adequate contraceptive methods for six months after the second vaccination. Men and their sexual partners must use contraceptive methods with more than 90% reliability (cervical caps with spermicide, diaphragms with spermicide, condoms, intrauterine devices), or be sterile. Non-inclusion criteria: Volunteers cannot be included in the study if any of the following criteria are met: * Medical staff of clinics and polyclinics; * A history of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) or Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) or other coronavirus infection (HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, HCoV-NL63, HCoV-HKU1); * History of contacts with confirmed or suspected cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection within 1 month; * Positive IgM or IgG to SARS-CoV-2, found at screening (for volunteers of Phases I and II); * Positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 at screening; * Clinically and/or laboratory (according to PCR) confirmed disease with SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus at the current time or in history; * Serious post-vaccination reaction (temperature above 40 C, hyperemia or edema more than 8 cm in diameter) or complication (collapse or shock-like state that developed within 48 hours after vaccination; convulsions, accompanied or not accompanied by a febrile state) to any previous vaccination in history; * Aggravated allergic history (anaphylactic shock, Quincke's edema, polymorphic exudative eczema, atopy, history of serum sickness, history of hypersensitivity or allergic reactions to the administration of any vaccines, known allergic reactions to vaccine components, etc.); * History of Guillain-Barré syndrome (acute polyradiculitis); * Previous vaccination with rabies vaccines less than 2 months before immunization or planned vaccination with rabies vaccines within 1 month after immunization with investigational vaccines; * Vaccination with any other vaccine within 1 month preceding vaccination; * A history of leukemia, tuberculosis, cancer, autoimmune diseases; * Positive blood test for HIV, syphilis, hepatitis B/C; * Volunteers who received immunoglobulin preparations or blood transfusions within the last 3 months prior to the start of the study based on the history; * Long-term use (more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immunomodulatory drugs during the six months preceding the study, according to the history; * Any history of any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition; * Chronic diseases of the cardiovascular, bronchopulmonary, neuroendocrine systems, gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, hematopoietic, immune systems, mental illness in exacerbation stage or decompensation stage (recovery earlier than 4 weeks before vaccination) in history; * Disorder of blood clotting, a tendency to thrombosis in the anamnesis; * Progressive neurological pathology, a history of convulsive syndrome; * Diabetes mellitus, hyperthyroidism or other endocrine diseases in history; * Treatment with glucocorticosteroids, including low doses, as well as topical use of drugs containing steroids (\> 10 mg prednisolone, or an equivalent, for more than 14 days in the last three months); * According to the anamnesis, the volunteer was/is registered in a tuberculosis dispensary and/or a narcological dispensary and/or a neuropsychiatric dispensary and/or others; * Acute infectious diseases (recovery earlier than 4 weeks before vaccination) according to the history; * Taking more than 10 units of alcohol per week or anamnestic information about alcoholism, drug addiction, or drug abuse; * Smoking more than 10 cigarettes a day; * Participation in any other clinical study within the last 3 months; * Pregnancy or breastfeeding; * Axillary temperature at the time of vaccination is more than 37.0 °C; * Body mass index less than 18 or more than 28 kg/m2; * Serious concomitant diseases or pathological conditions not listed above, which, according to the investigator, could complicate the evaluation of the study results, including pathological deviations from the age norms and laboratory norms of blood and urine parameters, clinically significant, according to the investigator.
