Brief Summary

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

This is a Phase 1/2, randomized, observer-blind study in healthy adults. The study will evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 SARS-CoV-2 self-amplifying RNA vaccine candidates against COVID-19 in adults previously vaccinated and not previously vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.

Detailed Description

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

The study will initially enroll approximately 72 adult participants into 2 cohorts (A and B). Cohort A is further sub-divided into two sub-cohorts which include 12 participants who are seronegative, not previously vaccinated at screening (Sub-cohort A1) and 24 participants who are seropositive, not previously vaccinated at screening (Sub-cohort A2).

Within the first cohort (Cohort A), Sub-cohort A1 will include a total of 12 adult participants ≥21 to ≤65 years of age who have not been previously vaccinated with a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Sub-cohort A2 will include a total of 24 adult participants ≥21 to ≤65 years of age who have not been previously vaccinated with a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Study vaccines will be given as 2 doses separated by 28 days.

The second cohort (Cohort B) will include a total of 36 adult participants ≥21 to ≤65 years of age who have been previously vaccinated (5 months or longer prior to study enrollment) with SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Study vaccines will be given as single doses.

Additional cohorts may increase the age range of participants up to 80 years of age.
