Description of participants Adults in good health or with stable co-morbidities with no history of COVID-19 in 11 centres in France. | |
Primary outcome | |
In the register Rate of neutralizing antibody titers against SARS-CoV-2 D614 and B.1.351 viral strains [Time Frame: 15 days]: Increased rate of at least 10 fold between D0 and D15 after the booster dose in neutralizing antibody titers against SARS-CoV-2 D614 and B.1.351 viral strains, measured by a microneutralisation technique in each group to assess the immunogenicity of a booster dose of an adjuvanted subunit vaccine (SP vaccine) as between D614 or B.1.351 and a mRNA vaccine (Pfizer BioNTech) in adults who were primarily vaccinated with 2 doses of mRNA vaccine (Pfizer BioNTech) with the 2nd dose of vaccine received at least 6 months +/- 1 month prior to the booster dose. | |
In the report Percentage of participants who had an increase in the neutralizing-antibody titer by a factor of at least 10 between day 0 and day 15 after receipt of the booster as measured by microneutralization against the original D614 (wild-type) strain of SARS-CoV-2 or the B.1.351 (beta) variant. | |

Risk of bias Overall The overall risk of bias reported in the table corresponds to the highest risk of bias for the outcomes assessed for the systematic review |
Some concerns |
General comment | In addition to the published article and its supplement, the preprint, study registry and protocol were used in data extraction and risk of bias assessment. Preliminary analysis, follow-up is ongoing; data reported herein up to 15 days after booster. The target sample size (N=300) specified in the protocol was not achieved (N=247). Unsolicited adverse events were not reported. Cellular response in the registry was not reported in the paper. There is no change from the trial registration in the intervention and control treatments. |
