SpikoGen booster shows promise in small COVID-19 study
NCT ID NCT05542862
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested the SpikoGen vaccine as a booster shot in 81 adults who had already received a full course of any COVID-19 vaccine. The goal was to see if a third or fourth dose of SpikoGen could raise antibody levels and provide protection. Researchers measured immune responses and tracked safety, including any side effects or infections.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SpikoGen vaccine (recombinant spike protein based COVID-19 vaccine)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that SpikoGen is a safe and effective booster option for people who received different types of COVID-19 vaccines.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed Phase 3 trial with only 81 participants, so results may not apply to larger populations. The study focuses on antibody levels, not long-term protection against infection.
