Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Frequency of treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAE) throughout the study and up to 12 months post-second dose immunization (Day 379).
Mean change from baseline in safety laboratory measures
Safety of a 2-dose regimen of VAX-001 when doses are given 14 days apart
Secondary outcome measures
Geometric mean neutralizing antibody titers against pseudo-virion after one and two doses
Percent seroconversion defined as a 4-fold or greater increase in IgG titers after one or two doses as measured by IgG ELISA
Immunoglobulin G

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there still openings for those wanting to participate in this project?

"As of the most recent update on July 23rd, 2022, this clinical trial is actively recruiting participants. It was first posted to clinicaltrials.gov on April 7th 2021."

Answered by AI

What results is the research team hoping to achieve from this investigation?

"The primary goal of the trial, which will be assessed from Day 0-42, is to evaluate Frequency of Serious Adverse Events (SAE) during and after treatment. Secondary objectives include: determining Persistence of IgG antibody titers through ELISA testing as well as neutralizing antibody titers by pseudo-virion neutralization assay; assessing Maintenance of Antibody Titres up to 12 months post second dose; measuring Geometric Mean Neutralizing Antibody against Pseudo-Virions after one and two doses; and gauging Percent Seroconversion following either single or double dosing via IgG ELISA test."

Answered by AI

Is this research open to elderly volunteers?

"This trial is open to applicants aged 18-95. Participants younger than 18 years old and seniors over 65 have the option of enrolling in 135 or 896 studies, respectively."

Answered by AI

What qualifications must a potential participant possess to join this trial?

"This clinical trial is recruiting 36 individuals with COVID-19 between the ages of 18 and 95. The applicants must also meet a number of criteria, such as providing written consent to participate in the study, being physically healthy upon enrolment and within 14 days prior to dose 1, having BMI's under 30kg/m2 (unless aged over 55), and if female - proving adequate contraception for at least 30 days before dose 1 plus 90 days after dose 2. Furthermore, the duration of this medical experiment will be approximately 13 months."
