| Primary outcome | |
| In the register Safety index-incidence of adverse reactions [ Time Frame: Day 0-28 after each dose vaccination ]; Immunogenicity index-seroconversion rates of neutralizing antibody [ Time Frame: The 30th day after the second dose vaccination ] | |
| In the report Vaccine-related adverse event (adverse reaction) within 28 days after the administration of each dose of vaccine or placebo; Seroconversion rate of neutralising antibodies to live SARS-CoV-2 at day 28 after the second dose | |
| Documents avalaible |
Protocol Yes. In English Statistical plan Yes Data-sharing stated:
Yes, The data will be available immediately after publication and finalisation of the completed clinical study report for at least 1 year. Supporting clinical documents including the study protocol and statistical analysis plan and the informed consent form will be available immediately following the publication of the current Article for at least 1 year. |
| 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 |
Low |
| General comment | In addition to the published article, the protocol, statistical analysis plan, and study registry were used in data extraction and risk of bias assessment. The units for vaccine doses were different in the trial registration and protocol compared to the published article. The safety data of the phase 1 and phase 2 trial were combined for analysis because the same batches of vaccine and placebo and the same safety observation method were used. For the outcome Adverse events the authors reported "adverse reactions" defined as "adverse events related to vaccination". Primary outcomes were reported as pre-specified in the registry. Both Phase 1 and 2 trials achieved their pre-stated sample size. This is an early interim analysis of a Phase 1 and a Phase 2 trial in which follow up is continuing. |
