1. Healthy male or non-pregnant female, =18 and =55 years of age, with BMI >18 and <34.0 kg/m2 and body weight =50.0 kg for males and =45.0 kg for females (Part 1); Healthy male or non-pregnant female, =56 years of age, with BMI >18 and <34.0 kg/m2 and body weight =50.0 kg for males and =45.0 kg for females (Part 2)
2. Healthy as defined by:
2.1. The absence of clinically significant illness and surgery within 28 days prior to dosing. Subjects displaying signs or symptoms of an acute and/or febrile illness within 24 hours pre-dose (with at least 3 symptom-free pre-dose days required) will be carefully evaluated for upcoming illness/disease. Inclusion pre-dosing is at the discretion of the Investigator, and the subject may have their scheduled dosing postponed until the condition resolves
2.2. The absence of clinically significant history of neurological, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, haematological, immunological, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, and metabolic disease (Part 1); b. The absence of clinically significant history of a pre-existing medical condition that is not stable (neurological, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, haematological, immunological, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, and metabolic disease). A stable medical condition is defined as disease not requiring significant change in therapy or hospitalization for worsening disease during the 3 months before enrolment (Part 2)
3. Non-smokers or social smokers (defined as the equivalent of fewer than 10 cigarettes per week). Ex-heavy smokers (heavy smoking defined as the equivalent of 25 or more cigarettes per day) may be admitted if they have quit, or reduced their cigarette intake to the defined level of social smoking, for a period of at least 12 months
4. Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or men whose sexual partners are WOCBP must be able and willing to use at least 2 highly effective methods of contraception commencing at enrolment, during the study and for 3 months after last treatment administration. A female subject is considered to be a WOCBP following menarche and until she is in a postmenopausal state for 12 consecutive months (without an alternative medical cause) or otherwise permanently sterile (for which acceptable methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy). A follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test may be used to confirm post-menopausal state. Examples of acceptable methods of contraceptive methods (for female subjects) to be used throughout the study include:
4.1. Simultaneous use of hormonal contraceptives, started at least 28 days prior to first study treatment administration and must agree to use the same hormonal contraceptive throughout the study, and condom for the male partner
4.2. Simultaneous use of intrauterine contraceptive device, placed at least 28 days prior to first study treatment administration, and condom for the male partner
4.3. Simultaneous use of a diaphragm or cervical cap and male condom for the male partner, started at least 28 days prior to first study treatment administration
4.4. Sterile male partner (vasectomized since at least 6 months prior to first study treatment administration)
4.5. True abstinence, defined as no sexual intercourse with a male partner, (for heterosexual couples) for at least 28 days prior to first study treatment administration and for at least the duration of the study. Periodic abstinence and withdrawal are not acce
1. Any clinically significant abnormality or vital sign abnormality at physical examination (including baseline high blood pressure [140/90] after 3 repeated measurements or high random blood sugar [non-fasting]), clinically significant abnormal laboratory test results or positive test for HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C found during medical screening (Part 1); Any clinically significant abnormality or vital sign abnormality at physical examination, or uncontrolled hypertension in adults aged = 56 years and older ,or high random blood sugar [non-fasting]), clinically significant abnormal laboratory test results or positive test for HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C found during medical screening (Part 2)..
2. Any acute or chronic ongoing illness which, in the judgement of the investigator, may preclude the subject’s participation.
3. Any subject that has an active COVID-19 infection (positive COVID-19 test: nasal/oropharyngeal swab and/or positive serum antibody response) at screening, or Day 1, or has been in close contact with someone who has an active COVID-19 infection, or has recovered from a previous COVID-19, SARS-CoV-1, or MERS infection.
4. Positive pregnancy, urine drug screen, or alcohol breath test at screening.
5. Known history of allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to vaccines, or to any excipient in the formulation (including the adjuvant, MF59C.1).
6. Presence of a known, or suspected, impairment of the immune system including, but not limited to, HIV, autoimmune disorders, immunosuppressant therapy, and diabetes mellitus.
7. History of a known, or suspected, respiratory system disorder including, but not limited to, cystic fibrosis, reactive airway disease, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or asthma, excluding childhood asthma (Part 1); History of a known, or suspected, or currently unstable medical condition that may expose the participant to an increased risk for severe SARS-CoV-2 disease, such as a respiratory system disorder including, but not limited to, cystic fibrosis, reactive airway disease, emphysema, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or asthma, excluding childhood asthma, uncontrolled hypertension, ischemic or structural heart disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic liver disease, endocrine disorder and neurological illness (Part 2)..
8. History of significant alcohol abuse within 12 months prior to screening.
9. Positive test for drugs of abuse (such as marijuana/tetrahydrocannabinol [THC] products, amphetamine, methamphetamine, methadone, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, cocaine, opiates, methylenedioxymethamphetamine [MDMA], or phencyclidine [PCP]) at screening, prior to dosing, or a history of drug abuse within 12 months prior to screening.
10. Participation in a clinical research study involving the administration of an investigational, or marketed, drug or device within 30 days prior to receiving the first treatment administration, or administration of a biological product in the context of a clinical research study within 90 days prior to the first dosing, or concomitant participation in an investigational study involving no drug, vaccine, or device administration, or intent to participate in another clinical study at any time during the conduct of the study.
11. Use of medications for the timeframes specified below, with the exception of hormonal contraceptives and medications exempted by the Investigator on a case-by-case b
