Phase 1 Study of Intranasal PIV5 COVID-19 Vaccine Expressing SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein in Healthy Adults and Adolescents

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
This Phase 1 trial is an open-label trial to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of two dosages (10^6 PFU and 10^7 PFU) of intranasal CVXGA1 administered as a single dose in healthy adults age 18-55 years and in adolescents age 12-17.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This is an open-label, dose-ranging phase 1 trial of the PIV5 virus-vectored SARS CoV-2 S glycoprotein vaccine (CVXGA1) in healthy adults (males and nonpregnant females) 18 to 55 years of age that have not had a prior COVID vaccination (Groups 1 and 2), and in healthy adults 18 to 55 years of age (Groups 3) and adolescents 12-17 years of age (Group 4) who have received at least two doses of mRNA-based COVID vaccines (Pfizer Comirnaty® or Moderna Spikevax™) with the last dose at least 5 months prior to planned receipt of CVXGA1 study vaccine. The trial is designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of a single dose of intranasal CVXGA1. Two dose levels will be assessed, CVXGA1-low lose (LD) at 106 plaque-forming units (PFU) (Group 1) and CVXGA1-high dose (HD) at 107 PFU (Groups 2, 3 and 4).

Design Details

Primary Purpose: Treatment
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment
Interventional Model Description: Progression will be by dose escalation (low dose to high dose) in healthy adults aged 18 to 55 years (N=up to 60), with approximately 12 months' follow-up. Safety data from sentinel subjects (4) will be assessed by a safety monitoring committee (SMC) if halting rules are met for 1) vaccine administration to the remaining subjects within the group, 2) progression from the low dose (1 x 106 PFU) group to the high dose (1 x 107 PFU) groups (without or with prior receipt of COVID vaccine), and 3) progression from the high dose adult group (18 to 55 years) with prior receipt of COVID vaccine to the adolescent (12-17 years) group (N= up to 20) with prior receipt of COVID-19 vaccine.
Masking: None (Open Label)
