A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of COVID-19 Vaccine, CT-COV-21 Extension Study

This is an extension study of the main study CT-COV-21, "A Phase II, Prospective, Double-blinded, Multi-Center, Multi-Regional Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of the SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Candidate MVC-COV1901."

This extension study is a prospective, open-label, multicenter study. In this extension study, approximately 500 participants who received the placebo and have remained blinded in the main study until Day 119 (90 days after the second vaccination of the main study) are enrolled and receive MVC-COV1901. Each participant will receive 2 doses of MVC-COV1901, administered 28 days apart via IM injection in the deltoid region, preferably of the non-dominant arm, at Day 1 and Day 29.

Inclusion criteria

• Participants who are in the placebo arm of the main study (CT-COV-21), and are unblinded due to urgent condition other than safety events (i.e. on request from participants with high risk of acquiring and transmitting infection) after Day 119, are eligible.
• Female participant must:

• Be either of non-childbearing potential, i.e. surgically sterilized (defined as having undergone hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy and/or bilateral salpingectomy; tubal ligation alone is not considered sufficient) or one year post-menopausal;
• Or, if of childbearing potential, be abstinent or agree to use medically effective contraception from 14 days before screening to 30 days following the last injection of study intervention. Acceptable forms include:

i. Implanted hormonal methods of contraception or placement of an intrauterine device or intrauterine system ii. Established use of hormonal methods (injectable, pill, patch or ring) combined with barrier methods of contraception: condom or occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository c. Have a negative pregnancy test

• Participant is willing and able to comply with all required study visits and follow-up required by this protocol.
• Participant or the participant's legal representative must understand the procedures of the study and provide written informed consent

• Administered any licensed live-attenuated vaccines within 28 days or other licensed non-live-attenuated vaccines within 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention.
• Administered any blood product or intravenous immunoglobulin administration within 12 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention.
• Currently receiving or anticipate to receive concomitant immunosuppressive or immune-modifying therapy (excluding inhaled, topical skin and/or eye drop-containing corticosteroids, low-dose methotrexate, or < 2 weeks of daily receipt of prednisone less than 20 mg or equivalent) within 12 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention.
• Currently receiving or anticipate to receive treatment with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α inhibitors, e.g. infliximab, adalimumab, etanercept within 12 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention.
• Major surgery or any radiation therapy within 12 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention
• Participant with previous known or potential exposure to SARS-CoV-1 or 2 viruses or received any other COVID-19 vaccine.
• Participant with a history of hypersensitivity to any vaccine or a history of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the MVC-COV1901.
