A Phase 3 Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Immunogenicity of Booster Vaccination With Recombinant COVID-19 (XBB) Trimer Protein Vaccine (Sf9 Cell)

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 3 Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity of Booster Vaccination With Recombinant COVID-19 (XBB) Trimer Protein Vaccine (Sf9 Cell) for the Prevention of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in a Population of 18 Years of Age and Older.

The Recombinant COVID-19 (XBB) Trimer Protein Vaccine (Sf9 Cell) developed by WestVac Biopharma Co., Ltd. is a monovalent modified vaccine designed against Omicron XBB.1.5.

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 3 clinical study with two cohorts, i.e. the immuno-bridging observational cohort and the efficacy observational cohort, aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of booster vaccination with Recombinant COVID-19 (XBB) Trimer Protein Vaccine (Sf9 Cell) for the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection in a population of 18 years of age and older.

3. No history of SARS-CoV-2 infection history within 3 months, or never infected.
4. Have the ability to understand research procedures, with informed consent, voluntarily sign informed consent form, and be able to comply with the requirements of clinical study protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Axillary temperature ≥37.3℃.
2. SARS-CoV-2 antigen or nucleic acid screening positive during the screening period.
3. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM antibody screening positive during the screening period.
