Summary:

      This is a phase 1, double-blind, randomized clinical trial to evaluate the safety,
      tolerability, and immunogenicity of single-vial lyophilized ID93 + GLA-SE compared to the
      two-vial presentation consisting of lyophilized ID93 and liquid GLA-SE administered as two IM
      injections in healthy adult subjects (aged 18 - 55).
