Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
Ongoing global studies so far have found that pregnant women are more likely to develop severe COVID-19 disease compared to non-pregnant women of the same age. Pregnant women who develop COVID-19 symptoms are two to three times more likely to have their baby early. Pregnant women with COVID-19 also have a higher mortality rate than pregnant women without COVID-19. For these reasons, the current UK guidance on immunisation is that COVID-19 vaccination should be offered to pregnant women at the same time as the rest of the population. However, further pregnancy-specific research is needed on COVID-19 vaccines. This study aims to identify the best interval to be used between doses of COVID-19 vaccines for protecting pregnant women against COVID-19.

Who can participate?
Low-risk pregnant women aged 18-45 years and between 13-34 weeks gestation

What does the study involve?
Once successfully enrolled, participants will be randomly allocated to receive two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine (or only one dose if the participant has already received their first dose) in a short-time interval (4-6 weeks) or a long-time interval (8-12 weeks). For some participants, this means they will receive their second dose after delivery. Participants will be followed up until 1 year after delivery. Blood samples will be taken from participants throughout the study. For some participants, a cord blood sample will be taken after delivery. For all participants, a baby blood sample will be taken between 4 and 12 weeks of age. Participants will be asked to complete a symptom diary and any significant medical events will be investigated. For a sub-group of participants breastmilk samples will also be collected.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Participating will help the researchers to understand more about the use of vaccines against COVID-19 in pregnancy - specifically their safety and ability to produce an immune response in pregnant women and their babies, as well as whether different dosing intervals make any difference to these immune responses. This research will inform the national immunisation programme in the UK on what advice to give to women already pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Participants will be receiving licensed COVID-19 vaccines and are monitored throughout the duration of the study. This trial involves at least five blood tests from the mother and one blood test from the baby and may include up to two samples of breast milk. Blood tests can be uncomfortable and may cause slight pain and/or bruising at the site where the needle enters. Some people feel light-headed or even faint when having blood taken. Blood sampling will be performed by an experienced member of the team and participants will be offered a medicated numbing cream for their baby for their blood test.

ConditionCOVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2 infection)
InterventionThere are four study cohorts: cohorts 1 and 2 will be the main study cohorts and 3 and 4 will be the sub-study cohorts
Participants in cohorts 2, 3 and 4 can receive the Tdap vaccination from the study team during study visits according to routine recommendations in the UK.

Screening + study visit 1 (maternal):
This visit will take place between 13+0 – 27+6 gestational weeks (for the earlier gestational weeks group) or between 28+0 – 34+0 gestational weeks (for the later gestational weeks group) at the participating institution.
Eligibility will be confirmed, the study will be discussed in more detail and women will be asked to sign a consent form. They will then be asked about demographic details (including NHS number), past medical history, receipt of any prior dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, details of the current pregnancy including the results of antenatal screening and scans to ensure that they are eligible for the study. The participant’s antenatal medical notes will be reviewed. Details will be collected about concomitant medication. A physical examination will be performed, and vital signs, height and weight will be recorded. Immunogenicity blood samples will be obtained.

Cohort 1, 2, 3: Participants will be randomised to a single group to receive one type of COVID-19 vaccine with the first dose to be given at visit 1.
Cohort 4: Participants will receive the same vaccine as given pre-pregnancy or in the first trimester of pregnancy and randomised to either receiving the booster dose before or after 26 weeks gestation.

Vaccination will be given by members of the study team who are trained and experienced in vaccine administration and in emergency procedures in the event of an allergic reaction. They will have access to emergency medication and equipment. The vaccinations will be given according to the advice in the “Green Book” and the Summary of Product Characteristics (SmPC). An eDiary will be set up for the participant and they will be given instructions to complete the diary regularly for 28 days following vaccination. The participant will be observed for a period of 20 minutes following vaccination to assess for allergic adverse events.

Study visit 2 (Maternal) all cohorts
This visit will take place 14 days (10 days – 21 days) after the first vaccination and will be a telephone call.
At this visit adverse events, new medication and the eDiary will be reviewed.

Study visit 3 (Maternal) all cohorts
This visit will take place 28-42 days following the first vaccination at the participating institution. At this visit adverse events, new medication and the eDiary will be reviewed. A targeted physical examination will be performed if needed and immunogenicity blood samples will be collected

These samples can be obtained by a member of the study team or a clinical member of staff. If blood sampling is not performed at delivery, women will be asked if a blood sample can be obtained from them within the first week following delivery and if a cord sample is not obtained parents will be asked if we can take a blood sample from the infant within the first week following delivery. At selected sites a cord blood sample will be taken. Infant examination will be performed by the clinical team.

Study visit 8 (postnatal) breastmilk sub-study and those due vaccination in cohort 3
This visit will take place 0 – 7 days post-delivery where possible at the participating institution for those in the breastmilk sub-study group and those due vaccination in cohort 3
