Brief Summary

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

The study aims to investigate the safety and immunogenicity of one dose vs two doses of a T-cell priming next-generation vaccine against Coronavirus disease.

Detailed Description

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

The scale of the COVID-19 pandemic requires multiple vaccine candidates to ensure equitable and rapid access to protection by:

* Providing a range of vaccine choices tailored to variations in immunological profiles across demographics as well as suited to environments with various levels of resources (cold chain etc).
* Distributing and parallelizing manufacture, to speed up scale, avoid reagent stockouts and dilute monopolies

* The ability for SARS -CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2) to mutate, requires multiple vaccine candidates to ensure robust and sustainable protection. Vaccines with a range of epitopes and immune targets provide immunological diversity and reduce vulnerability to mutant escape.
* Nanotechnology fulfils the needs of a Universal Coronaviruses vaccine by being a rapidly scalable and modular platform
* Humoral immunity may be transient and insufficient against emerging variants of SARS-CoV-2
* Cellular immunity against SARS-CoV-2 is lasting and associated with recovery in COVID-19. A vaccine (prime or booster) inducing the right T cell response can be the solution against the need to develop new vaccines every time the virus mutates or a new variant persists.

This is a Phase I-II, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study investigating the safety and immunogenicity of a T cell priming next-generation vaccine against Coronavirus disease in healthy adults.

The clinical study will enrol 110 participants (88 vaccine vera and 22 placebo, \[split 50:50 between two groups one receiving one vaccination and the other two vaccinations\]).

Therefore, 110 eligible participants will be randomized in the following groups:

* Group 1 One Vaccination (Day 0) (n=55): 44 PepGNP-COVID19 (7.5 nmol peptide + 47.8ug GNP) + 11 placebo (WFI)
* Group 2 Two Vaccinations (Day 0 \& Day 21) (n=55): 44 PepGNP-COVID19 (7.5 nmol peptide + 47.8ug GNP) + 11 placebo (WFI) Allocations of vaccine vera vs placebo for each group are single blinded."
