Brief summary
This is a randomised controlled clinical trial to determine the reactogenicity and immunogenicity of booster doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccines (Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca or Moderna) in adults who have previously received either AstraZeneca or Coronavac as their primary doses. Both fractional and standard doses of Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca and Moderna will be tested.
Detailed description
There will be a total of 800 participants in the study, to be randomised and administered booster doses in this study. The study will be conducted at 3 clinics in Bandung. Participants will have previously received primary doses of Coronavac or Astranzeneca, with the second dose administered at least 6 months previously. Participants will be followed for 12 months following the booster vaccine adminstration, with blood samples drawn at baseline, 28 days, 6 months and 12 months following booster vaccine administration.
Interventions
Standard Dose - (30ug in 0.3ml) The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2, encodes a P2 mutant spike protein and is formulated as an RNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) of nucleoside-modified mRNA (modRNA).
Standard Dose (5xE10vp in 0.5ml) ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 is a recombinant replication-defective chimpanzee adenovirus expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) surface glycoprotein
Fractional Dose - (15ug in 0.15ml) The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, BNT162b2, encodes a P2 mutant spike protein and is formulated as an RNA-lipid nanoparticle (LNP) of nucleoside-modified mRNA (modRNA).
Fractional Dose (2.5E10vp in 0.25ml) ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 is a recombinant replication-defective chimpanzee adenovirus expressing the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) surface glycoprotein
Standard dose (50ug in 0.25ml)
Fractional dose (20ug in 0.1ml)

Study design
Masking description
A unblinded vaccinator will administer the dose and will not be involved in outcome assessment. Unblinding will occur for each participant at approximately 28 days after the study vaccine

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| SARS-CoV-2 specific Immunoglobulin (Ig)G antibodies at 28-days post booster vaccination | Assessed at 28 days | Serum samples collected at 28-days post booster vaccination from all groups will be evaluated for SARS-CoV-2 specific IgG antibodies using IgG CMIA. The primary endpoint is the seroresponse rate at the Day-28 visit. The Seroresponse rate at the individual level is defined as either a ≥4-fold rise in binding antibodies at the Day-28 visit compared to baseline (pre-vaccination) with a titre of \<200 BAU/ml, a ≥2-fold rise among participants with a baseline (pre-vaccination) titre of \>≥200 BAU/ml, or ≥4 times the lower limit of detection if baseline levels are lower than the limit of detection. |
| Incidence of solicited systemic and local reactions (reactogenicity) | Assessed for 7 days post-vaccination | Questionnaire to document solicited reactions is developed specifically for this study. Data will be reported as the proportion of participants who report grade 3 or 4 reactions by each intervention arm. Solicited reactions such as pain, tenderness, erythema/redness, induration, swelling, fever, nausea, vomiting, headache, fatigue/malaise, myalgia, arthralgia, diarrhea, enlarged lymph nodes will be collected from the participants 7 days post-vaccination. |
