A Controlled Phase 2/3 Study of Adjuvanted Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Trimeric S-protein Vaccine (SCB-2019) for the Prevention of COVID-19

Summary

The purpose of this double-blind, randomized, controlled study is to evaluate the efficacy, immunogenicity, reactogenicity and safety of an adjuvanted recombinant severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) trimeric spike (S)-protein subunit vaccine (SCB-2019) for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2-mediated COVID-19 in Participants Aged 12 Years and Older.
