Safety and Immunogenicity of Homologous Recombinant Adenovirus Type 5-Vectored COVID-19 Vaccine Booster Dose in Healthy Adults Aged 18-60 Years: a Single-Center, Open-Label Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The waning antibody levels several months after prime vaccination and the persistent epidemics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) around the world have generated great interest in the evaluation of a booster dose. We aimed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a homologous booster dose of the recombinant adenovirus type 5-vectored coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine (Ad5-nCoV).

Methods

In this trial, we recruited healthy adults aged 18-60 years who had received one dose of Ad5-nCoV vaccine (low, middle, or high dose) in the previous phase 1 trial approximately 6 months earlier, and then all participants received a booster dose of 5 × 10¹⁰ viral particles (low dose) intramuscularly. The primary outcome was the
