COVAC-2
BiologicalIntramuscular vaccine against SARS-CoV-2
NCT Number: NCT05226702
VIDO has developed a vaccine called COVAC-2.
The COVAC-2 study vaccine contains a portion of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, called S1. The spike protein is the part of the virus that is responsible for attaching to the surface of host cells. COVAC-2 contains a SWE adjuvant. An adjuvant is a compound that is added to a vaccine to help the vaccine produce a better immune response. The SWE adjuvant is similar to another adjuvant, MF59, that is found in influenza vaccines and MF59 containing vaccines have been given to millions of people around the world. The vaccine is expected to stimulate the body to make antibodies against the S1 protein. The antibodies will recognize the viral spike protein if the body is exposed to the virus and prevent severe COVID-19 illness. In animal studies, the immune response generated by the COVAC-2 vaccine was able to protect the vaccinated animals against a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection.
This is a Phase 1/2, placebo-controlled, observer-blind, age-stratified randomized, multicenter study to access the safety and immunogenicity of two dosing levels (10 and 25 µg S1 protein tested in parallel) administered once in healthy adults ≥18 of age who have received 2 doses of an authorized COVID-19 vaccine at least 6 months earlier. The study will also include an open-label exploratory study arm to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of a single COVAC-2 dose in previously SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals (Phase 2 only).

Inclusion criteria
Note: Participants who are overtly healthy as determined by medical evaluation or are considered medically stable according to the judgment of the Investigator. A stable medical condition is defined as disease not requiring significant change in therapy or hospitalization for worsening disease during the 3 months prior to enrolment, and/or hospitalization within the entire study period is not anticipated. Also, the participant appears likely to be able to remain in follow-up through the end of protocol-specified period. Mild to moderate well-controlled comorbidities are allowed.
