Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety of and the body's immune response to single and multiple vaccinations in healthy men and women. We want to find out what effects GBP511 has on you and your health. We are doing this study to find out:

If the study drug has any side effects when given as single and multiple vaccinations.

If reactogenicity, an indication that the immune systems is working and is preparing to protect the body against future infection, occurs. This is a normal physical inflammatory response that occurs after vaccination, manifesting as localised reactions that may include pain or redness at the injection site, or systemic symptoms such as headache or fever.

If immunogenicity which is when GBP511 causes your body to make antibodies against the non-harmful viral proteins contained within GBP511, called 'neutralising antibodies (Nab),' occurs. And if GBP511 will cause the specialised cells of the body's immune system to mount a defence against the non-harmful viral proteins contained within GBP511, called 'cell-mediated immunity (CMI)'.

In this study, GBP511 will be administered with and without adjuvant, CAS-1. An adjuvant is an ingredient used in some vaccines that help produce a stronger immune response in the people receiving the vaccine and thus helps the vaccine work better.

This study will recruit approximately 368 participants in total and will be conducted in two stages:

Stage 1 will look at two vaccinations with GBP511 when given with and without the CAS-1 adjuvant; and Stage 2 will look at either one or two vaccinations with two candidate GBP511 vaccines chosen from Stage 1 of the study.

Participants will be required to attend Linear's clinical unit on two separate occasions to receive their two vaccinations. On the first day of dosing (Visit 2/Day 1) and second day of dosing (Visit 5/Day 29), we will be testing a single dose of the study drug in up to 168 healthy volunteers who will be divided into 3 groups. Group 1, Groups 2 and 3 will have 56 people each. These 3 groups will be divided into treatment subgroups, with a total of 6 test subgroups and 3 control subgroups. In all groups, neither you or the study doctor will know what subgroup you are part of, and therefore what treatment (GBP511 or Comirnaty+ placebo) you will receive.

The use of intranasal, inhaled, topical, or intra-articular corticosteroid is permitted.

Prior/Concurrent Clinical Study Experience
19. Participation in another clinical study and receipt of study intervention within 4 weeks prior to the 1st study vaccination, or concurrent, planned participation in another clinical study with study intervention during this study period.

Other Exclusions
20. Investigators, or study staff who are directly involved in the conduct of this study or supervised by the investigator, and their respective family members.
21. Donation of ≥450mL of blood product within 4 weeks prior to screening, or planned donation of blood product from enrollment through 12 weeks after the last study vaccination.
