简要总结
VBI-2902a and VBI-2905a are investigational vaccine candidates that use enveloped virus-like particle (eVLP) expression of a modified version of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein and are designed to induce neutralizing antibody and cell-mediated immune responses against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. VBI-2902a expresses the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 Wuhan isolate (the first virus variant isolated in 2019 in Wuhan, China), while VBI-2905a expresses the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 variant Beta (B.1.351 variant, first isolated in 2020 in South Africa).
The Phase 1a portion of this study tests one- and two-dose regimens of VBI- 2902a with 5 μg S protein content and aluminum phosphate (alum) adjuvant or placebo delivered by intramuscular (IM) injection. The Phase 1b portion of the study tests a one-dose regimen of VBI-2905a with 5 μg S protein content and alum adjuvant or placebo delivered by IM injection in participants previously vaccinated with an authorized mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
详细描述
Phase 1a:
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VBI-2902a containing 5 μg of S protein in one- or two-dose regimens in healthy adults of 18-54 years of age.
The secondary objective is to evaluate the immunogenicity of VBI-2902a containing 5 μg of S protein in one- or two-dose regimens in healthy adults 18-54 years of age.
- Group G1 - 20 participants will receive VBI-2902a at a dose of 5 μg of S protein at Day 1 and placebo at Day 28.
- Group G2 - 20 participants will receive VBI-2902a at a dose of 5 μg of S protein at Days 1 and 28.
- Group G3 - 20 participants will receive placebo at Days 1 and 28.
An Independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will review blinded safety data (reactogenicity, adverse events (AEs) and safety laboratory assessments) at Day 7 after the first vaccination. The second vaccination will only be given if the DSMB confirms that Day 7 safety is acceptable and that stopping rules were not met. The DSMB will further review blinded post-vaccination safety through Day 35, 7 days after the second vaccination and through Day 56, 28 days after the second vaccination. The study will be unblinded following DSMB review of safety data collected through Day 56. Study participants will continue with study visits as planned up to 12 months of follow up after the first dose of study vaccine.
