Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This clinical trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of GLS-5310 DNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2(COVID-19) in healthy volunteers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This Phase I / IIa study will assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of GLS-5310 DNA vaccine.

The Phase I portion of this study is an open-label, dose escalation study to assess two dose levels of GLS-5310 DNA vaccine (0.6 and 1.2 mg) as part of two vaccination regimens (0-8 weeks and 0-12 weeks).

The Phase IIa portion of this study is designed as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study with only a single active study drug arm. Subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo or GLS-5310 vaccine in a 1:2 ratio.
