- Brief Summary
This study will be conducted in 2 phases. Phase 1 designed to evaluate safety, tolerability and immunogenicity COVID-19 vaccine (NDV-HXP-S) administered at different doses levels (1, 3, and 10 µg) without adjuvant, and at two different dose levels (1 and 3 µg) with the adjuvant CpG 1018 among healthy adults, (age 18-59 years) (210 subjects). Subjects will receive 2 doses of assigned investigational product (IP) on D1 and D29 (V1 and V3), and be assessed in clinic for safety and reactogenicity at 7 days after each vaccination (day 1 as day vaccination). An interim analysis of Phase 1 data will be conducted as the basis for decisions about advancement to Phase 2 of the study and about treatment group down selection. Phase 2 (250 subjects) will include approximately one-third subjects with age 60-75 years.
- Detailed Description
This study (GPO NDV-HXP-S) will be conducted in 2 phases. Phase 1 will evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity COVID-19 vaccine (NDV-HXP-S) administered at different doses levels (1, 3, and 10 µg) without adjuvant, and at two different dose levels (1 and 3 µg) with the adjuvant CpG 1018 among healthy adults, (age 18-59 years, 210 subjects). NDV-HXP-S or placebo (0.9% normal saline for injection) will administer IM according to a repeat vaccination schedule (given 28 days apart). In addition, as exploratory objectives, a total of 36 subjects will be randomly selected (1:1:1 ratio) from placebo and two high-dose groups i.e., NDV-HXP-S 10 µg and NDV-HXP-S 3 µg + CpG 1018, to provide additional blood at V1, V5 and V7 for assessment of T-cell-mediated immunity (CMI). An interim analysis of Phase 1 data will be conducted as the basis for decisions about advancement to Phase 2 of the study and about treatment group down selection.
In the Phase 2 study, 250 subjects aged 18-75 years will be randomized (1:2:2) to placebo (0.9% normal saline for injection), or one of two selected formulations of NDV HXP S being evaluated in Phase 1 will be enrolled to Phase 2 study. Twelve subjects in each of the three Phase 2 groups (distributed among the two age strata) will be randomized to provide additional blood at V1, V5 and V7 for assessment of T-cell-mediated immunity (CMI).
Unblinding will be done as per specific SOP provided by Sponsor. The PI will be expected to provide a rationale for the necessity of unblinding, based on the expectation that knowledge of the subject's treatment assignment will have a meaningful impact on the subject's medical care in the short term. If a subject's treatment assignment is unblinded, the subject will remain in the study and continue with protocol-defined study visits and procedures, unless there is another reason for subject discontinuation.
Scheduled unblinding regarding safety concern during severe COVID-19 situation:
The elderly subjects (60-75 years) who received placebo will be unblinded and discontinued as soon as COVID-19 vaccine (AstraZeneca) become available from Sponsor. If unblinding is occurred before complete enrollment of 75 elderly subjects, the randomization assignment will be skipped in placebo arm. Therefore, no further subjects will be randomly assigned to receive placebo after unblinding.

Note: specific exclusion criteria (e.g., ≥Grade 2 acute illness, or abnormal vital sign deemed clinically relevant by the PI) will be reassessed at both vaccination visits. Any subject who cannot be vaccinated due to an acute abnormality assessed at a vaccination visit (Visit 1 or Visit 3) may return once the acute issue has resolved, if deemed appropriate by the PI. A minimum of 48 hours must have passed after a documented fever before a subject can be vaccinated. This safety requirement will not be deemed a protocol deviation should the visit fall outside the vaccination window; however, it will be encouraged to maintain the vaccination window whenever possible in these situations. Clinical laboratory test results and vital signs used to determine subject eligibility will be those obtained at screening. These tests may be repeated once if deemed appropriate by the investigator and determined to be due to a transient condition that has resolved. In addition, a test may also be repeated for test results determined to be spurious by the investigator (e.g., following improper specimen collection). The last measurement will be taken as the baseline for purposes of analysis.
