Whole-Virion Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine (BBV152) for COVID-19 in Healthy Volunteers

Summary

Double blind, Multi-Centre study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, tolerability, and immunogenicity of three investigational vaccine groups and one placebo group in healthy volunteers who receive two intramuscular doses of BBV152 vaccine formulations and placebo. A total sample size of 755 healthy volunteers, with 375 and 380 volunteers in phase 1 and 2 studies, respectively. A protocol amendment was made to evaluate a boosting regimen at the 6-month interval in the Phase 2 trial. At 6 months post-dose 2, participants who received the 6ug Algel-IMDG allocation were randomized equally to receive a third dose of BBV152 (6ug Algel-IMDG) or placebo.
