Health condition and Intervention

Section to complete information about the primary medical condition(s) or problem(s) studied and, a characteristics of the intervention(s).

Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied:

COVID-19

Intervention(s):

Abdala group (Experimental): All subjects included will receive the Abdala vaccine (RBD 50 µg + aluminum hydroxide 0.30 mg). It will be administered in a single dose by the intramuscular route: 0.5 mL in the deltoid region. For the analysis of the results, patients will be divided into two groups as follows: Group A: subjects who received the full three-dose regimen (primary vaccination) + booster dose with the Abdala vaccine against COVID-19. Group B: subjects who received primary vaccination with Soberana 02/plus + booster dose (with Soberana or Abdala).

Outcomes and Timepoint

Section to complete information about primary and secondary outcomes including. It includes the metric or method of measurement used and, the time point for every outcome.

Primary outcome(s):

Geometric mean difference of SARS-CoV-2 anti-RBD IgG antibody titers (numerical value). Time of measurement: on days 0 and 21 (±2 days).

Key secondary outcomes:

1) SARS-CoV-2 anti-RBD IgG antibody titers at the time of booster dose administration (numerical value). Time of measurement: at baseline. 2) Percentage of individuals with inhibition of the interaction of the RBD with its ACE2 receptor ≥ 30% (by ELISA - Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Time of measurement: on days 0 and 21 (±2 days). 3) Percentage and magnitude of viral neutralization response (Abdala neutralization capacity against different SARS-CoV-2 variants (KP.2, KP.3, BA.2.86, EG.5, JN.1, delta) in a subset of individuals. Measurement time: on days 0 and 21 (±2 days). 4) Clinical Adverse Events-AE (They will be measured as: -Occurrence of AE (Yes, No), -Description of the AE (name of the event), -Intensity of the AE (mild, moderate, severe), -Causal relationship (unrelated, doubtful, possible, probable, definitive), -Measures adopted (None, Administration of any pharmacological therapy, Addition of a non-pharmacological therapy, Exit from the study, Hospitalization / prolongation of hospitalization), -Outcome (Completely resolved, Resolved with sequelae, Conditions improving, Condition present and unchanged, Worsening, Death caused by this event)). Measurement time: within 20 minutes of vaccination and 21 days later (with review of the outpatient adverse event card, held by each participant).
