Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Registering a new trial?

To achieve prospective registration, we recommend submitting your trial for registration at the same time as ethics submission.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Other - Tozinameran

Experimental: Approved COVID-19 vaccination - The approved COVID-19 vaccination arm will receive the COMIRNATY™ (tozinameran - BNT162b2 \[mRNA\]) COVID-19 VACCINE. The dose, strength of the dose unit, dosing interval and dosing period of tozinameran used in this trial will be as approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and recommended by the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) for children aged 5 to \<12 years of age. The recommended dose of tozinameran for this age group is 10 µg (0.2 mL) and the recommended schedule is 2 doses, 8 weeks apart. Therefore two tozinameran doses of 10µg (0.2 mL) will be administered intramuscularly 8-weeks apart as part of this arm of the trial.


Treatment: Other: Tozinameran
Tozinameran is a single-stranded, 5'-capped messenger RNA (mRNA) produced using a cell-free in vitro transcription from the corresponding DNA templates, encoding the viral spike (S) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

Data sharing statement
Will individual participant data (IPD) for this trial be available (including data dictionaries)?
Yes
What data in particular will be shared?
At the time of article publication, the following will be made available long-term for use by future researchers from a recognised research institution whose proposed use of the data has been ethically reviewed and approved by an independent committee and who accept MCRI's conditions for access:

* Individual participant data that underlie the results reported in this article after deidentification (text, tables, figures and appendices), and
* Trial protocol, PICF, analytic code

We may share the information and samples we collect with other researchers within Australia and/or overseas to increase our understanding of COVID-19 and COVID-19 vaccination and other infections. The location of data/samples sent overseas is not yet determined. Data and samples would be sent identifiable only by a study number so that the child's identity is not disclosed to these researchers. Any data or samples sent to researchers outside of Australia will not be covered by Australian regulations.

Supporting document/s available: Study protocol, Informed consent form (ICF), Analytic code
When will data be available (start and end dates)?
Following the completion and analysis of the trial, the data will be retained long-term following the mandatory archive period for use in future research projects. The retention period will be for at least 15 years post-trial completion or until the child is aged 25 years (whichever is later). The Sponsor-Investigator and/or delegate will be the custodians during the archive period. Following the end of the archival period, the data will be disposed of.
Available to whom?
* Must pertain to ethically approved research
* Must be from a recognised institution
* Must be willing to share the aims, outcomes and outcomes measures of the secondary analyses
* Must ask for consent from the COSI BAIR principal investigators
* Must be approved by the COSI BAIR Sponsor-Investigator
