Brief Summary

This first-in-human clinical trial is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of one administration of OVX033 coronavirus vaccine at different dose levels (100µg, 250µg and 500µg)

Detailed Description

This trial is a first-in-human phase 1, single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in 48 adult subjects to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of OVX033 sarbecovirus vaccine at different dose levels (100µg, 250µg and 500µg).

One single dose of OVX033 vaccine or of Placebo will be administered intramuscularly in healthy subjects aged 18-49 years.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

1. Written informed consent.

2. Healthy male or female subjects, as determined by medical history and medical examination.

3. Aged 18 to 49 years.

4. Subjects who have been vaccinated (2 to 4 doses) with a licensed SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) vaccine. The last dose should be >6 months before administration of the investigational vaccine.

5. Reliable and willing to make themselves available for the duration of the study, willing and able to follow study procedures.

6. Willing to refrain from strenuous physical exercise during the week preceding any blood sampling, including between screening and vaccination visit (Visit 2).

Exclusion Criteria

1. Subjects with a body mass index (BMI) <18 kg/m² or >30 kg/m² at screening.

2. Subjects weighing less than 50 kg.

3. Subjects with abnormal safety laboratory (hematology, biochemistry, coagulation and urinalysis) parameter at screening.

4. Subjects having previously received a non-licensed SARSCoV-2 vaccine or only one single dose of a licensed SARSCoV-2 vaccine.

5. Subjects having presented medically significant adverse event after having received a SARS-CoV-2 licensed vaccine.

6. Subjects currently treated with medications intended to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection or disease (COVID-19) complications.

7. SARS-CoV-2 infection within the past 3 months prior to enrolment, RT-PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection at screening or ongoing symptom of COVID-19.

8. Subjects having received another vaccination within 3 months prior to the day of study vaccination for live attenuated vaccines, or within 1 month prior to the day of study vaccination for inactivated vaccines.

9. Planning to receive other vaccines during the first 28 days following the study vaccine administration.

10. Female subjects: pregnant, breast-feeding or of childbearing potential without appropriate contraceptive methods in place for at least 2 months before enrolment, or with positive pregnancy test at screening or on the day of vaccination. Appropriate contraceptive methods are to be maintained until the end of the trial.

11. Subjects receiving treatment that can affect immune response such as systemic or high dose inhaled corticosteroids (>800μg/day beclomethasone or equivalent; occasional inhaled corticosteroids for asthma therapy are allowed), radiation treatment, cytotoxic drugs, or current or recent (within 3 months before study entry) chronic or prolonged (>10 days) use of systemic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, interferon, immunomodulators, allergy shots, as judged by the Investigator.

12. Any known or suspected immunodeficient conditions.

13. Past or current history of significant autoimmune diseases, as judged by the Investigator.

14. Known or suspected infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or hepatitis B virus (HBV) at screening.
