Clinical Trial Summary

Increased immune escape of emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants and waning neutralizing antibody levels over time indicate the importance of COVID-19 vaccine booster dose. Preclinical findings have shown that the recombinant SARS-CoV-2 S-Trimer vaccine exhibited favorable safety and immunogenicity. Herein, we conducted a randomized, open-label, positive control trial to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the booster shot in healthy subjects aged 18-59 years who have completed two-dose primary series of inactivated vaccine for 6-15 months. A total of 63 eligible participants were enrolled to receive the recombinant SARS-CoV-2 S-Trimer vaccine or inactivated vaccine, and only one participant in 30 μg recombinant SARS-CoV-2 S-Trimer vaccine cohort withdrew owing to personal work reasons on September 26, 2022. Subjects in each dose group (5 μg, 10 μg, 30 μg recombinant SARS-CoV-2 S-Trimer vaccine) was randomly assigned to receive the experimental vaccine or inactivated vaccine in a 2:1 ratio.
