Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and relative efficacy of CVXGA (CVXGA50), a KP.2 containing vaccine, compared to COMIRNATY® (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA; 2024-2025 Formula), a currently approved COVID-19 vaccine in the prevention of symptomatic, RT-PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. The trial will enroll up to 434 healthy participants.

Detailed Description

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

This is a double-blind, active comparator-controlled Phase 2b study to evaluate the efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety study in which eligible adult participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive CVXGA (CVXGA50) or COMIRNATY.

Number of Participants:

The proposed enrollment for this study is approximately 434 participants, that includes 16 participants enrolled in Sentinel Cohort 1 and Sentinel Cohort 2 (8 participants in each cohort).

Treatment Assignment:

Participants in Sentinel Cohort 1 and Sentinel Cohort 2 will be assigned to receive a single dose of CVXGA (CVXGA50) intranasally and will not receive an IM placebo.

All other participants in the study will be randomized 1:1 to receive a single dose of CVXGA (CVXGA50) intranasally (plus a single dose of IM placebo), or a single dose of IM COMIRNATY (plus a single dose of intranasal placebo).

Study visits: Participants will be asked to complete approximately 6-7 clinic visits, over a period of approximately 12 months duration per participant.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Is an adult ≥18 years of age at time of screening.
* Has completed any WHO/FDA-authorized or approved primary COVID-19 vaccination series.
* Has received last COVID-19 vaccine no less than 6 months prior to study enrollment (study vaccination).
* If a female of childbearing potential who is sexually active, agrees to use an adequate method of birth control from Screening through 90 days after last study vaccination, and has used an adequate birth control method for at least 30 days prior to Screening.

A. Female of childbearing potential is defined as post onset menarche and pre-menopausal person capable of becoming pregnant. This does not include females who meet any of the following conditions: a) menopausal \>2 years; b) tubal ligation \>1 year; c) bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy; or d) hysterectomy.

B. Adequate contraception is defined as a contraceptive method with a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly and when applicable, in accordance with the product label. Examples include: oral contraceptives, either combined or progestogen alone; injectable progestogen; implants of etonogestrel or levonorgestrel; estrogenic vaginal ring; percutaneous contraceptive patches; intrauterine device or intrauterine system; the female participant has exclusively female sexual partners; partner is sterile or otherwise unable to produce sperm (information on the person's sterility can come from the site personnel's review of the participant's medical records or interview with the participant regarding her medical history); male condom combined with a vaginal spermicide (foam, gel, film, cream, or suppository); or male condom combined with a female diaphragm, either with or without a vaginal spermicide (foam, gel, film, cream, or suppository).

* Is medically stable, as determined by the site investigator (based on review of health status, vital signs, medical history, and physical examination).
* Agrees to not participate in any other SARS-CoV-2 infection prevention trial (vaccine, drug, biologic, or pre-exposure prophylaxis \[PrEP\]) during participation in the study.
* Willing and able to provide informed consent prior to initiation of study procedures.
* Is available for all study visits, willing to participate in all study procedures, and not planning to relocate from the area for the duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria

* Has an acute illness, as determined by the site investigator, within 72 hours prior to Screening or study vaccination.

(a. An acute illness that is nearly resolved, with only minor residual symptoms remaining, is allowable if, in the opinion of the site investigator, the residual symptoms will not interfere with the ability of study staff to assess safety parameters as required by the protocol.)
* Has had a positive COVID-19 test within the 90 days prior to Screening or study vaccination.
* Current or planned participation in any other interventional clinical trial.
* Prior receipt of a PIV5-based vaccine (e.g., CVXGA1, CVXGA35, or BLB201 \[an RSV vaccine being developed by CyanVac/Blue Lake Biotechnology\]).

* History of significant/severe wheezing or respiratory symptoms resulting in hospitalization or known bronchial hyperreactivity to viruses.
* History of severe adverse reaction to vaccination in the past, including to COVID-19 vaccination.
* Any known allergies to components contained in CVXGA or COMIRNATY (including polyethylene glycol \[PEG\] allergies), or latex.
