Official Title
Double-Blind, Randomized, Controlled, Multi-Centered, Phase 2 Clinical Trial to Determine the Safety, Efficacy, and Immunogenicity of Booster Vaccination Against SARS-CoV-2
Brief Summary

A booster dose of vaccine (Turkovac or CoronaVac) will be administered to subjects who have passed at least 90 days and at most 270 days after the second dose of the first course of CoronaVac vaccine.

Detailed Description

To determine the safety and immunogenicity of booster doses of vaccine against SARS-CoV2
after a minimum of 90 days and a maximum of 270 days after the 2nd dose of a homologous 2
dose primary regimen.

It is planned to recruit 111 subjects for 2 vaccines (Turkovac and CoronaVac). There will be
a total of 222 subjects.

within the first 3 months following vaccination and who are breastfeeding

- Subjects with fever (above 38°C) at the time of vaccination and/or up to 72 hours
before

vaccination

- Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficiency state; asplenia;
recurrent severe infections and use of immunosuppressants (less than ≤14 days) in the
last 6 months, excluding topical steroids or short-term oral steroids

component of the study vaccines

- Any history of anaphylaxis

- Current cancer diagnosis or treatment (excluding basal cell carcinoma of the skin and
cervical carcinoma in situ)

- History of bleeding disorder (e.g. factor deficiency, coagulopathy or platelet
disorder), or prior history of significant bleeding or bruising following
intramuscular injections or venipuncture

- Continued use of anticoagulants such as coumarins and related anticoagulants (i.e.
warfarin) or new oral anticoagulants (i.e. apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran and
edoxaban)

- Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, antiphospholipid syndrome, or a history of
heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT or HIT type 2).

- Suspected or known current alcohol or drug addiction

- Any other significant disease, disorder or finding that could significantly increase
the subject's risk for participation in the study, affect the subject's ability to
participate in the study, or impair the interpretation of study data; severe and/or
uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, gastrointestinal disease,
liver disease, kidney disease, endocrine disorder, and neurological disease
(mild/moderate well-controlled comorbidities are permitted)

sclerosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome, transverse myelitis) (Bell's palsy will not be an
exclusion criterion)

- Subjects with severe renal impairment or liver failure

- Subjects who will undergo scheduled elective surgery during the study

- Subjects with a life expectancy of less than 6 months

- Subject who participated in another clinical trial study involving an investigational
product in the past 12 weeks

- In case of clinical necessity, a COVID-19 PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test will be
requested from the subjects, and subjects who are positive will be excluded from the
study

- Known history of SARS-CoV-2 infection

- Acute respiratory disease (moderate or severe illness with or without fever) (Subjects
may be screened again after acute condition has resolved)

- Fever (oral temperature > 37.8°C) (Subjects can be enrolled again after acute
condition improves)
