About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Open-Label, Dose-Ranging Trial to Determine the Safety and Immunogenicity of an Adenoviral-Vector Based Vaccine (VXA-CoV2-1) Expressing a SARS-CoV-2 Antigen and dsRNA Adjuvant Administered Orally to Healthy Adult Volunteers VXA-CoV2-1.1-S Boost Substudy: Boost at 1 Year Post Initial Vaccination With an Adenoviral-Vector Based Vaccine VXA-CoV2-1.1-S Expressing a SARS-CoV-2 S Protein in a Subset of Subjects

VXA-CoV2-1 is a non-replicating Ad5 vector adjuvanted oral tableted vaccine being developed to prevent COVID-19, the disease resulting from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The study is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of VXA-CoV2-1 vaccine with repeat dosing at multiple dose levels. Safety and immunogenicity will be evaluated for up to 12 months after the second dose of VXA-CoV2-1.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, dose-ranging trial to determine the safety and immunogenicity of an orally administered adenoviral-vector based vaccine (VXA-COV2-1) expressing a SARS-CoV-2 antigen and dsRNA adjuvant. Post screening activities, healthy adult volunteers aged 18 - 54 yrs old, inclusive, will be enrolled into the study. Participants will receive an oral dose of vaccine at Days 1 and a subject will also receive a second dose at Day 29; total study period will last ~ 2 months during the active phase, with a total 12 month safety follow-up period post last vaccination. Safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity assessments will be performed at set times during the study active and follow-up periods. Subjects will be monitored for symptoms of COVID-19 throughout the duration of the study follow-up period.

Approximately 10 healthy male and female adult volunteers 18 to 54 years old who were enrolled in the main study will be included in a boost extension substudy for an additional 12 months from dosing for a total participation period of 24-25 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing VXA-CoV2-1 in people with Covid19, run by Vaxart at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 25 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Frequency of solicited symptoms of reactogenicity (time frame: Day 1 through Day 8 post each immunization). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04563702, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jun 2024.
