safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of a novel mva-sars-2-st vaccine candidate

Conditions: COVID-19 Vaccines

Summary: this will be a phase i, single-center trial, including a total of 30 participants in two cohorts. cohort 1 (n=6): healthy male or female adults aged 18 - ≤ 60 previously primary immunized with two vaccinations with any regimen using any eu marketed sars-cov-2 vaccine (mrna-, vector-, protein-based, attenuated sars-cov-2 virus) or with a single application of covid-19 vaccine janssen. cohort 2 (n=24): healthy male or female adults aged 18 - ≤ 60 primary immunized with two vaccinations with any regimen using any eu marketed sars-cov-2 vaccine (mrna-, vector-, protein-based, attenuated sars-cov-2 virus) or with a single application of covid-19 vaccine janssen and subsequently booster immunized with any eu marketed mrna vaccine both cohorts will be assigned to inhaled vaccination with mva-sars-2-st
