1 A Randomized Clinical Trial for Enhanced Trained Immune Responses Through Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Vaccination to Prevent Infections by COVID-19: The ACTIVATE II Trial

Based on findings of the interim analysis of the ACTIVATE study showing 53% decrease of the incidence of all new infections with BCG vaccination, a new trial is designed aiming to validate if BCG can protect against COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease-19).The aim of the study is to demonstrate in a double-blind, placebo-controlled approach if vaccination of participants susceptible to COVID-19 with BCG vaccine may modulate their disease susceptibility for COVID-19. This will be validated using both clinical and immunological criteria.

NCT04414267 COVID-19 Virus Diseases Corona Virus Infection Coronary Heart Disease Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Biological: BCG vaccine Biological: Placebo
MeSH:Infection Coronavirus Infections Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Lung Diseases, Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive Heart Diseases Coronary Disease Virus Diseases
HPO:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease Obstructive lung disease

Primary Outcomes

Description: This is set on visit 3 (90 ± 5 days from the date of visit 1). The two groups of vaccination are compared for the primary endpoints which is composite. Patients who meet any of the following will be considered to meet the primary endpoint: Positive for the respiratory questionnaire endpoint when at least one of the following combination is met either at visit 2 and/or at visit 3: One situation definitively related to COVID-19 All four questions of symptoms possibly related to COVID-19 At least two questions of symptoms possibly related to COVID-19 as well as need for admission at the emergency department of any hospital and/or need for intake of antibiotics At least four questions of symptoms probably related to COVID-19 one of which is "need for admission at the emergency department of any hospital and/or need for intake of antibiotics" Positive IgG or IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2

Measure: Positive for the respiratory questionnaire consisted of questions concerning the appearance of symptoms possibly, probably and/or definitively related to COVID-19 on visit 3.

Time: Visit 3 (90 +/- 5 days)

Secondary Outcomes

Description: The two groups of vaccination are compared for the primary endpoints which is composite (as defined at primary study endpoint) and meet a positive respiratory questionnaire endpoint on visit 4

Measure: Positive respiratory questionnaire endpoint consisted of questions concerning the appearance of symptoms possibly, probably and/or definitively related to COVID-19 on visit 4

Time: Visit 4 (135 +/- 5 days)

Description: The two groups of vaccination are compared for the primary endpoints which is composite (as defined at primary study endpoint) and meet a positive respiratory questionnaire endpoint (as defined at primary study endpoint) on visit 5

Measure: Positive respiratory questionnaire endpoint consisted of questions concerning the appearance of symptoms possibly, probably and/or definitively related to COVID-19 on visit 5

Time: Visit 5 (180 +/- 5 days)

Description: Prevalence of IgG/IgM against SARS-CoV-2 will be measured among the patients who failed the eligibility procedure and the patients that were eligible and were enrolled

Measure: Prevalence of IgG/IgM against SARS-CoV-2

Time: Screening Visit and Visit 3 (90 +/- 5 days)

Description: Itemized analysis of each of the components of the respiratory questionnaire on each study visit

Measure: Analysis of each of the components of the respiratory questionnaire consisted of questions concerning the appearance of symptoms possibly, probably and/or definitively related to COVID-19.

Time: Visit 2 (45 +/- 5 days), Visit 3 (90 +/- 5 days), Visit 4 (135 +/- 5 days), Visit 5 (180 +/- 5 days)

2 Reducing Hospital Admission of Elderly in SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic Via the Induction of Trained Immunity by Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Vaccination, a Randomized Controlled Trial

Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine not only protects against tuberculosis, but has also been shown to induce protection against various infections with a viral aetiology, leading to significant reductions in morbidity and mortality. We hypothesize that BCG vaccination might be a potent preventive measure against SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or may reduce disease severity in elderly people, who are known to be at increased risk of illness and death from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Therefore, we will in this placebo-controlled adaptive multi-centre randomized controlled trial evaluate the ability of BCG to reduce hospital admission and its efficacy to improve the clinical course of SARS-CoV-2 infection in elderly people((≥ 60 years of age).
