A Study of Ad26.COV2.S for the Prevention of SARS-CoV-2-mediated COVID-19 in Adults
Purpose
The study will evaluate the efficacy of Ad26.COV2.S in the prevention of molecularly confirmed moderate to severe/critical coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19), as compared to placebo, in SARS-CoV-2 seronegative adults in the double-blind phase and to describe COVID-19 outcomes, safety, and immunogenicity in the different study cohorts in open-label phase.

Experimental Ad26.COV2.S |
Participants will receive intramuscular (IM) injection of Ad26.COV2.S vaccine on Day 1 and Day 57 in the double-blind phase. At unblinding visit (open-label phase), participants who have not yet received second vaccination will receive second dose of Ad26.COV2.S vaccine on Day 57, if applicable and newly enrolled participants will either receive IM injection of one dose of Ad26.COV2.S vaccine on Day 1 or two doses of Ad26.COV2.S vaccine on Day 1 and Day 57. All ongoing participants who only received a single vaccination with Ad26.COV2.S in the study will be offered to receive single booster dose of Ad26.COV2.S in the open label phase preferably within 6 to 12 months after the participant's first Ad26.COV2.S vaccination. |

Placebo Comparator Placebo |
Participants will receive IM injection of placebo on Day 1 and Day 57 in the double-blind phase. At unblinding visit (open-label phase), participants initially receiving placebo will be offered to receive IM injection of a single dose of Ad26.COV2.S vaccine. All ongoing participants who only received a single vaccination with Ad26.COV2.S in the study will be offered to receive single booster dose of Ad26.COV2.S in the open label phase preferably within 6 to 12 months after the participant's first Ad26.COV2.S vaccination. |

Detailed Description
The aim of the COVID-19 vaccine clinical development program is to develop a safe and effective vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19. Ad26.COV2.S, a COVID-19 vaccine based on a human replication-incompetent Ad26 vector, constructed to encode the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus spike (S) protein, is being developed. The study will consist of: a screening phase (up to 28 days), study period (60-week), and a long-term follow-up period (1 additional year). The total study duration will be maximum 2 years and 3 months for the participants. Assessments for efficacy (COVID-19 signs and symptoms, etc.), immunogenicity (such as humoral immune responses), and safety (such as adverse events [AEs] monitoring) will be performed throughout the study.
