Study to Assess Safety, Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity of the repRNA(QTP104) Vaccine Against SARS-CoV-2(COVID-19)

Phase 1

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2
• Interventions: Biological: QTP104 25ug; Biological: QTP104 1ug; Biological: QTP104 5ug

• Registration Number: NCT05876364
• Lead Sponsor: Quratis Inc.

Brief Summary

This study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of the QTP104 vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthy adults.

Detailed Description

This study is designed to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity of 3 doses of QTP104. The reason for including 3 doses were to further explore the immunogenicity of these dose levels. This clinical trial is an open label and does not apply to randomized assignment procedures. This study is an open label and does not apply to the maintenance and release procedure of double-blinding. The selection of healthy adults is to confirm the safety of dose-escalation through phase 1 clinical trials.
