Study summary

This is a randomized, multi-site, adaptive, open-label clinical trial comparing the immune response to different additional doses of COVID-19 vaccine in participants with autoimmune disease requiring IS medications. All study participants will have negative serologic or suboptimal responses (defined as a Roche Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S result ≤200 U/mL) or a low immune response (defined as a Roche Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S result >200 U/ml and ≤2500 U/mL) to their previous doses of COVID-19 vaccine.

The study will focus on 5 autoimmune diseases in adults:

  • Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
  • Systemic Sclerosis (SSc), and
  • Pemphigus.

This study will focus on 4 autoimmune diseases in pediatric participants:

  • Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
  • Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)
  • Pediatric-Onset Multiple Sclerosis (POMS)
  • Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM)
Read the detailed description

Adult Population:

Stage 1 of this trial will enroll up to a maximum of 900 adult study participants (up to 60 participants per arm).

Participants will be assigned to one of 3 cohorts based on their IS regimens:

  • Cohort A: Receipt of MMF or MPA
  • Cohort B: Receipt of MTX
  • Cohort C: Receipt of any BCDT within the past 18 months.

Treatment Arms: Participants in Cohorts A, B, and C will be assigned to receive an additional dose of the same COVID-19 vaccine as their original vaccine series. The trial initially enrolled participants who were vaccinated with the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, and the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine. Update: Arms to receive an additional homologous vaccine dose after an initial Janssen COVID 19 Vaccine were closed to enrollment after the CDC updated its recommendations to express a clinical preference for individuals to receive an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine over the Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. All Adult Stage 1 treatment arms were closed to enrollment on 15 August 2022.

Participants in Cohorts A and B will be randomized into 2 IS medication treatment plans as follows:

  • Participants continue to take their cohort-defining IS medications without alterations in schedule and dosing.
  • Participants withhold their cohort-defining IS medications before and after the additional homologous vaccine dose per protocol instructions.

A participant will be enrolled in the study for a maximum of approximately 13 months.

Stage 2 of this trial will include up to a maximum of 960 adult study participants (up to 80per arm) with a Roche Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S result ≤2500 U/mL after previous COVID-19 vaccine administration (at least 3 doses of mRNA vaccine(s) or 2 doses of the Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine). Participants will be eligible to receive a dose of an alternative COVID-19 vaccine.

Participants may have received their previous COVID-19 vaccine prior to enrollment in the study ("newly recruited participant"), or they may have received their previous COVID-19 vaccine as a study participant and then (re-) enter into Stage 2 ("rollover participant"). Participants can also roll over into Stage 2 via two pathways:

  • Stage 1 participant rolls over to Stage 2
  • Stage 2 participant rolls over to a different Stage 2 treatment arm

Participants will be allocated to 1 of 3 cohorts based on their IS regimens:

  • Cohort D: Receipt of MMF or MPA
  • Cohort E: Receipt of MTX
  • Cohort F: Receipt of any BCDT within the past 18 months.

Treatment Arms: Participants in Cohorts D, E, and F will receive a dose of an alternative COVID-19 vaccine compared to their previous COVID-19 vaccine doses. Originally, participants who previously received 3 total doses of a single mRNA vaccine (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine OR Pfizer- BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine) received their choice of either the Janssen vector-based COVID-19 vaccine or the other mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, and participants who previously received 2 doses of the Janssen vector based COVID-19 vaccine received the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.

Update: Beginning with v4.0 of the protocol, this trial will not utilize the Janssen vector-based COVID-19 vaccine. Participants who previously received 3 total doses of a single mRNA vaccine will receive their choice of an alternative mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or the Sanofi-GSK protein based COVID-19 vaccine. Participants who previously received 4 or more doses of a single mRNA vaccine or 3 or more doses of a mixture mRNA vaccines (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine AND Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, in any order or combination) will receive the Sanofi-GSK protein-based COVID-19 vaccine.

Participants in Cohorts D and E will withhold their cohort-defining IS medications before and after the alternative vaccine dose per protocol instructions. Participants in Cohort F who are taking MMF, MPA, or MTX in addition to BCDTs will withhold these medications before and after the alternative vaccine dose per protocol instructions.

Visits to assess endpoints will occur at Baseline (Week 0), Week 4 ± 1 week, Week 12 ± 2 weeks, Week 24 ± 2 weeks, Week 36 ± 2 weeks, and Week 48 ± 2 weeks. A participant who is newly recruited to the study for entry into Stage 2 may be on study for up to a maximum of 13 months. A participant who enters Stage 2 after a serologic negative, suboptimal, or low immune response to their Stage 1 vaccine dose may be on study for up to a maximum of 26 months. Rollover participants will discontinue follow-up as part of Stage 1 upon rollover into Stage 2. A participant who rolls over to a different Stage 2 treatment arm 2 after a serologic negative, suboptimal, or low immune response to another Stage 2 vaccine dose may be on study for up to a maximum of 38 months.

Pediatric Population:

Stage 1 in the pediatric portion of this trial will enroll up to a maximum of 800 participants (2-17 years of age) with a Roche Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S result ≤2500 U/mL after receiving an initial COVID-19 vaccine regimen (up to 80participants per arm). Vaccines will be included in this protocol as they receive EUA or approval by FDA for a given age group. Pediatric participants will have 1 of 4 autoimmune diseases: pediatric SLE, juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), or pediatriconset multiple sclerosis (POMS). Participants will be assigned to 1 of 3 cohorts based on their IS regimens:

  • Cohort A: Receipt of MMF or MPA
  • Cohort B: Receipt of MTX
  • Cohort C: Receipt of any BCDT within the past 18 months.

Treatment Arms: Participants in Cohorts A, B, and C will be assigned to receive an additional dose of the same vaccine as their original vaccine series. Based on FDA EUA status, pediatric participants were initially eligible to receive the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine only.

Participants in Cohorts A and B will be randomized into 2 IS medication treatment plans as follows):

  • Participants continue to take their cohort-defining IS medications without alterations in schedule and dosing.
  • Participants withhold their cohort-defining IS medications before and after the additional homologous vaccine dose per protocol instructions.

A participant will be enrolled in the study for a maximum of approximately 13 months.

Stage 2 of the pediatric portion of this trial will include up to a maximum of 480 pediatric study participants (up to 80 per arm) with a Roche Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S result ≤2500 U/mL after previous COVID-19 vaccine administration (an age-appropriate EUA-authorized or FDA-approved initial COVID-19 vaccine regimen plus 1 additional dose of the same vaccine). All participants (2-17 years of age) who previously received doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine are eligible to receive an age-appropriate dose of the Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. Participants 12 through 17 years of age who previously received doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine are eligible to receive an age-appropriate dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. Participants will be eligible to receive a dose of an alternative COVID-19 vaccine. Participants may have received their previous COVID-19 vaccine as a study participant and then enter into Stage 2 ("rollover participant"), or they may have received their previous COVID-19 vaccine prior to enrollment in the study ("newly recruited participant").

Participants will be allocated to 1 of 3 cohorts based on their IS regimens:

  • Cohort D: Receipt of MMF or MPA (± other rheumatic disease medications, including biologics)

    o Participants who are taking MMF or MPA (without additional B cell depleting medications or MTX) will be placed in this cohort.

  • Cohort E: Receipt of MTX (± other rheumatic disease medications, including biologics)

    o Participants who are taking MTX (without additional B cell depleting medications or MMF/ MPA) will be placed in this cohort.

  • Cohort F: Receipt of B cell depletion therapy within the past 18 months (± other rheumatic disease medications) o Participants taking B cell depletion medications, regardless of whether they are also taking MMF or MTX, will be placed in this cohort.

Treatment Arms: Participants in Cohorts D, E, and F will receive a dose of an alternative COVID-19 vaccine compared to their previous COVID-19 vaccine doses. Participants who previously received age-appropriate doses of a single mRNA vaccine (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine OR Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, as noted above) will receive the other mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.

Beginning with v7.0 of the protocol all vaccines used are bivalent versions replacing original monovalent versions.

Participants in Cohorts D and E will withhold their cohort-defining IS medications before and after the alternative vaccine dose per protocol instructions (see Section 7.1.1 Protocol-mandated Medications).

Participants in Cohort F who are taking MMF, MPA, or MTX in addition to B cell depletion therapies (BCDTs) will withhold these medications before and after the alternative vaccine dose per protocol instruction.

A participant who enters Stage 2 after a serologic negative, suboptimal, or low immune response to their Stage 1 vaccine dose may be on study for up to a maximum of 26 months. Rollover participants will discontinue follow-up as part of Stage 1 upon rollover into Stage 2. A participant who is newly recruited to the study for entry into Stage 2 may be on study for up to a maximum of 13 months.

Adaptive Design

An adaptive design will be employed such that cohorts and arms defined by additional vaccine doses and IS treatment plans may be added or modified based on emerging data from existing and new FDA Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) or approvals of COVID-19 vaccines:

  • New cohorts may be defined based on changes in the medication groups if it becomes obvious that certain medications are highly associated with suboptimal or low immune serologic response to initial COVID-19 vaccine regimen.
  • Cohorts may limit or expand the autoimmune diseases that are eligible to be included in the clinical trial and may include expansion cohorts of underrepresented diseases.
  • New cohorts may include participants whose antibody response falls to suboptimal or low immune levels over time.
  • Based upon timing of the FDA EUA authorization for children of each of the COVID-19 vaccines used in this trial, the age range of the inclusion criteria may be expanded.
  • Allocation or randomization to treatment with new COVID-19 vaccines may be incorporated into the design when the products become available.
  • Identification of additional strategies to enhance vaccine responsiveness in autoimmune diseases, including a temporary switch of immunomodulatory medications.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(11)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: long-term lung disease that makes it hard to breathe out, including emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent of Stage 1 Adult Participants Who Have a Protective Antibody Response at Week 4

    Antibody response was measured using the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Vaccine Research Center (NIAID-VRC) Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) 3 plex assay (Wu-1 full-length spike, receptor binding domain (RBD), and N proteins). A threshold for achieving a protective antibody response was not established for the NIAID VRC MSD assay. The intent was to use a pre-established threshold to define a protective antibody response. However, correlates from previous studies could not be extrapolated to the CoV-2 variants circulating over the entire course of this trial.

    Time frame: Week 4 Status Post Receipt of COVID-19 Vaccination

  2. Percent of Stage 2 Adult Participants Who Have a Protective Antibody Response at Week 4

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Stage 1 Adult Participants Who Seroconverted

    Antibody response was measured using the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Vaccine Research Center Meso Scale Discovery 3 plex assay. For concentrations below the lower limit of detection (LLOD), numeric values equivalent to LLOD/2 were assigned; concentrations above the upper limit of quantification were reported without adjustments. Antibody results collected after a documented COVID-19 infection, monoclonal antibody use, or COVID-19 vaccine given off-study were excluded from the analyses. Participants missing antibody data were considered missing-completely-at-random. Seroconversion was assessed in the subgroup of participants who were anti-COVID-19 antibody negative at Week 0; defined as a result less than or equal to the positive threshold value (spike=10.8424, RBD=14.0858). Anti-COVID-19 antibody negative at Week 0 is defined separately for spike and RBD. Seroconversion was defined as having a result greater than the positive threshold at the Week 4 visit.

  45. Fold Inhibition of ACE2 Binding to SARS-CoV-2 Variant Antigens by Stage 2 Pediatric Samples

    Antibody response was measured using the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Vaccine Research Center (NIAID-VRC) Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) V-Plex ACE2 neutralization assay which measure antibodies that block the binding of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike antigens, including variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus according to the manufacturer's instruction (MSD Catalog # K15654U). Antibody results collected after a documented COVID-19 infection, monoclonal antibody use, or a COVID-19 vaccine given off-study were excluded from the analyses. Participants with missing anti-COVID-19 antibody response data were considered to be missing-completely-at-random. Results are reported as fold inhibition by a sample relative to signal from a 'diluent only' control (maximum ACE2 binding to antigen). Highly neutralizing samples show high fold inhibition whereas negative or low samples show low fold inhibition of ACE2 binding.

  51. Percent of Stage 2 Pediatric Participants Who Experience Any Grade 1 or Higher Adverse Events Related to Study Vaccine

    All unsolicited adverse events (AEs) (all grades) were collected from Day 1 through Day 28; solicited AEs were collected if they were ongoing at Day 7 (post vaccination); any flares of a secondary autoimmune disease, serious AEs, medically attended AEs, new onset chronic medical conditions, and COVID-19 infections were collected from Day 1 through the end of the participant's study participation. All AEs were classified by system organ class (SOC) and preferred term, according to a standardized thesaurus (Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities \[MedDRA\] version 24.0. Related AEs were defined as "possibly related" (the AE has a reasonable possibility to be related; there is evidence to suggest a causal relationship) or "related" (the adverse event is clearly related). Severity was assessed according to the criteria set forth in the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 5.0.

    Time frame: Up to Week 48 post study vaccination

  52. Percent of Stage 2 Pediatric Participants Who Experience Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An event is considered "serious" if, in the view of either the investigator or Sponsor, it results in any of the following: 1. Death. 2. Life-threatening event: considered "life-threatening" if, in the view of either the investigator or Sponsor, its occurrence places the participant at immediate risk of death. It does not include an AE that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death. 3. Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. 4. Persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions. 5. Congenital anomaly or birth defect. 6. Important medical events that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    Time frame: Up to Week 48 post study vaccination

  53. Percent of Stage 2 Pediatric Participants Who Experience Any Medically Attended Adverse Events (MAAEs)

    Medically attended adverse event (MAAE) is defined as a hospitalization, emergency room visit, or an otherwise unscheduled visit to or from medical personnel for any reason that is considered possibly related or related to study vaccine.

    Time frame: Up to Week 48 post study vaccination

  54. Percent of Stage 2 Pediatric Participants Who Experience Any New Onset Chronic Medical Conditions (NOCMCs)

    A new onset chronic medical condition (NOCMC) is defined as any new ICD diagnosis (per current International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems) that is applied to the study participant during the course of the study, after receipt of the vaccine, that is expected to continue for at least 3 months and requires continued health care intervention.

    Time frame: Up to Week 48 post study vaccination

  55. Percent of Stage 2 Pediatric Participants Who Experience Any Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) Infection

Results

Posted Aug 22, 2025
Limitations and caveats
The trial was closed prior to fully enrolling because of slow enrollment due to increasing infections in the general population with resulting elevated antibody titers, changing CDC vaccination recommendations, and vaccine hesitancy. Original enrollment goals were 60 participants per arm.

Participant flow

19 adult sites and 12 pediatric sites were activated in the United States. 374 adult participants and 9 pediatric participants were screened from August 2021 until April 2023 in Stage 1 and 2 of the trial. Adult arms A3, B3, B6, D1, D3, E1, and E3; Pediatric Stage 1; Pediatric Stage 2 arms D1P, E1P, F1P, and F2P did not randomized/allocate or vaccinate participants. One participant was allocated to Adult arm F1 but was not vaccinated.

Outcome measures

PrimaryPercent of Stage 1 Adult Participants Who Have a Protective Antibody Response at Week 4

Antibody response was measured using the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Vaccine Research Center (NIAID-VRC) Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) 3 plex assay (Wu-1 full-length spike, receptor binding domain (RBD), and N proteins). A threshold for achieving a protective antibody response was not established for the NIAID VRC MSD assay. The intent was to use a pre-established threshold to define a protective antibody response. However, correlates from previous studies could not be extrapolated to the CoV-2 variants circulating over the entire course of this trial.

SecondaryChange in Stage 2 Adult Anti-COVID-19 Antibody Response

Antibody response was measured using the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Vaccine Research Center (NIAID-VRC) Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) 3 plex assay (Wu-1 full-length spike, receptor binding domain (RBD), and N proteins). Wu-1 full-length spike and RBD were used to assess vaccine response. For concentrations below the lower limit of detection (LLOD), numeric values equivalent to LLOD/2 were assigned; concentrations above the upper limit of quantification were reported without adjustments. Antibody results collected after a documented COVID-19 infection, monoclonal antibody use, or a COVID-19 vaccine given off-study were excluded from the analyses. Participants with missing anti-COVID-19 antibody response data were considered to be missing-completely-at-random.

SecondaryFold Inhibition of ACE2 Binding to SARS-CoV-2 Variant Antigens by Stage 1 Adult Samples

Antibody response was measured using the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Vaccine Research Center (NIAID-VRC) Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) V-Plex ACE2 neutralization assay which measure antibodies that block the binding of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike antigens, including variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus according to the manufacturer's instruction (MSD Catalog # K15654U). Antibody results collected after a documented COVID-19 infection, monoclonal antibody use, or a COVID-19 vaccine given off-study were excluded from the analyses. Participants with missing anti-COVID-19 antibody response data were considered to be missing-completely-at-random. Results are reported as fold inhibition by a sample relative to signal from a 'diluent only' control (maximum ACE2 binding to antigen). Highly neutralizing samples show high fold inhibition whereas negative or low samples show low fold inhibition of ACE2 binding.

SecondaryChange in Disease Activity in Stage 2 Pediatric Participants With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) as Measured by the Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score 10 (JADAS10)

The Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score 10-C-reactive Protein (JADAS10-CRP) is a score on a scale (0 to 40) indicating activity of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. Total active joints are scored 0 to 10, with an active joint count \>10 scored as 10 points. The Physician's Global Assessment and Patient's Global Assessment are measured on a 0-10 scale (0 cm, no disease activity to 10 cm, worst disease activity). CRP is normalized to a 0 to 10 scale according to the following formula: (CRP (mg/L) - 10)/10. CRP values \<10 mg/L are scored as 0, and CRP \>110 mg/L are scored as 10. The final score is given by the simple sum of its component. Higher scores indicate worse disease activity.

An event is considered "serious" if, in the view of either the investigator or Sponsor, it results in any of the following: 1. Death. 2. Life-threatening event: considered "life-threatening" if, in the view of either the investigator or Sponsor, its occurrence places the participant at immediate risk of death. It does not include an AE that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death. 3. Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. 4. Persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions. 5. Congenital anomaly or birth defect. 6. Important medical events that may not result in death, be life threatening, or require hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

SecondaryFold Inhibition of ACE2 Binding to SARS-CoV-2 Variant Antigens by Stage 2 Pediatric Samples

Antibody response was measured using the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease Vaccine Research Center (NIAID-VRC) Meso Scale Discovery (MSD) V-Plex ACE2 neutralization assay which measure antibodies that block the binding of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) to the SARS-CoV-2 Spike antigens, including variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus according to the manufacturer's instruction (MSD Catalog # K15654U). Antibody results collected after a documented COVID-19 infection, monoclonal antibody use, or a COVID-19 vaccine given off-study were excluded from the analyses. Participants with missing anti-COVID-19 antibody response data were considered to be missing-completely-at-random. Results are reported as fold inhibition by a sample relative to signal from a 'diluent only' control (maximum ACE2 binding to antigen). Highly neutralizing samples show high fold inhibition whereas negative or low samples show low fold inhibition of ACE2 binding.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 10, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
