Detailed Description
-----------------
Popular title: Clinical study of Omicron BA.4/5-Delta strain recombinant novel coronavirus protein vaccine (CHO cells). Research vaccine: Name: Omicron BA.4/5-Delta strain recombinant novel coronavirus protein vaccine (CHO cell), main components: receptor binding region (OD-RBD) protein (25μg/0.5mL) of novel coronavirus spike glycoprotein, aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. Control vaccine: Name: Recombinant novel coronavirus protein vaccine (CHO cells), main components: receptor-binding region (NCP-RBD) protein (25μg/0.5mL) of novel coronavirus spike glycoprotein, aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. Indications: Prevention of respiratory diseases caused by novel coronavirus infection Research population: healthy people ≥60 years old Research institution: Yijishan Hospital, Wannan Medical College Research Objective: Main objective: To evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Omicron BA.4/5-Delta recombinant novel coronavirus protein vaccine (CHO cells) against the prototype strain of the new coronavirus and Omicron variant (BA.5, BF.7) after vaccination in people aged 18 years and above. Secondary objective: To evaluate the immune persistence of Omicron BA.4/5-Delta strain recombinant novel coronavirus protein vaccine (CHO cells) against the new coronavirus prototype strain and Omicron variant (BA.5, BF.7) after vaccination in people aged 18 years and above. Research Plan: Sample size: Based on the efficacy test of the experimental group against the new coronavirus Omicron strain BA.4/5 and the control group against the new coronavirus Omicron strain BA.4/5 free neutralizing antibody GMC, the standard deviation of the antibody level after logarithmic conversion with base 10 is assumed to be σ = 0.65. With an overall power of 90%, a class I error of 0.025 on one side, a 95% confidence interval lower bound of the GMC ratio >1, and an expected GMC ratio of 2.1, 81 cases are required for each group. In summary, considering about 15% shedding, the sample size of the experimental group and the control group was allocated 1:1, that is, 100 cases were needed in each group, and a total of 200 cases were needed. At the same time, according to the guiding principles, in order to observe the safety of the test seedlings, the total sample size was expanded to 450 cases, that is, 225 cases were required for the experimental group and the control group. Study group: The study plans to recruit 450 cases of people aged 18 and above who have completed the basic immunization or booster immunization of the new coronavirus vaccine for more than 6 months, and are randomly divided into the research group and the control group according to the ratio of 1:1, of which 225 subjects in the research group and 225 subjects in the control group are vaccinated with the study vaccine and the control vaccine respectively. The 450 participants should include 150 elderly (60 years and older) and 300 adults (18-59 years old).This clinical trial will set up immunogenic subgroups in the enrolled 450 patients, a total of 200 cases, including 100 cases in the study group and 100 cases in the control group. All subjects were tested for neutralizing antibody immunogenicity (BA.5 strain) in pre-neutralizing serum, and the first 100 subjects in the study group and control group were included in the immunogenicity subgroup in order of study number. If there are less than 100 neutralizing antibody negative subjects in the study group or control group, the immunogenic subgroup of neutralizing antibody positive subjects will be included in the immunogenic subgroup of neutralizing antibody positive subjects in the order of study number until the number reaches 100. Safety endpoints: 1. Incidence of all AEs within 30 days of vaccination: incidence of total AE ; the incidence of AEs associated with the study vaccine ; Grade 3 and above AE incidence ; incidence of grade 3 and above AEs associated with the investigational vaccine ; the incidence of AE leading to withdrawal ; The incidence of AEs leading to withdrawal associated with the study vaccine. Incidence of all serious adverse events (SAEs), vaccine-related SAEs within 6 months after vaccination. Immunogenicity endpoint: Primary endpoint: Geometric mean titer (GMT) and positive conversion rate of neutralizing antibodies against the Omicron variant (BA.5) of the novel coronavirus in the study and control groups 14 days after the immunogenicity subgroup received the investigational vaccine. Secondary endpoints: 14 days after the immunogenic subgroup of subjects received the investigational vaccine, the neutralizing antibody GMT, growth multiple (GMI), and positive conversion rate of the research group and the control group against the new coronavirus prototype strain and the Omicron variant (BF.7); 14 days after the immunogenicity subgroup of subjects received the investigational vaccine, the neutralizing antibody GMI of the research group and the control group against the new coronavirus Omicron variant (BA.5); 6 months after the immunogenicity subgroup received the investigational vaccine, the neutralizing antibody GMT, GMI, and positive conversion rate of the study group and the control group against the new coronavirus prototype strain and Omicron variant (BA.5, BF.7).
