Study Summary

This trial is testing a vaccine candidate that uses particles to express the spike proteins of three coronaviruses: SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-1, and MERS-CoV. The Phase 1 study will compare the safety of two doses of the vaccine candidate in adults 18-64 years old who have previously received two or more vaccinations for COVID-19. The purpose of the study is to test the safety of the vaccine candidate and to learn more about its ability to boost immunity against SARS-CoV-2 and the other two coronaviruses.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-64 who've had at least two COVID-19 vaccine shots can join this trial. They should be healthy or have stable, controlled diseases. Women must not be pregnant/breastfeeding and use birth control; men agree to contraception rules post-vaccination. Exclusions include recent moderate/severe COVID-19 illness, certain infections like HIV/HBV/HCV, recent other vaccines or blood products, immune system issues, and cancer treatments within 5 years.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests VBI-2901a's safety and its ability to boost immunity against three coronaviruses: SARS-CoV-2 (including variants), SARS-CoV-1, and MERS-CoV. Participants will receive either two doses of the vaccine at different strengths or one dose to compare responses in those previously vaccinated for COVID-19.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed but may include typical reactions seen with vaccines such as soreness at injection site, fever, fatigue, headache or allergic reactions. The study aims to assess these tolerability aspects of VBI-2901a.
