Clinical Trial Summary

The Recombinant COVID-19 (XBB) Trimer Protein Vaccine (Sf9 Cell) developed by WestVac Biopharma Co., Ltd. is a monovalent modified vaccine designed against Omicron XBB.1.5.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical study with two cohorts, i.e. the immuno-bridging observational cohort and the efficacy observational cohort, aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of booster vaccination with Recombinant COVID-19 (XBB) Trimer Protein Vaccine (Sf9 Cell) for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a population of 18 years of age and older.
