Summary

This phase I trial evaluates the side effects and best dose of GEO-CM04S1 (previously designated as COH04S1), a synthetic modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA)-based SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, for the prevention of COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infection is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. SARS-CoV-2 has demonstrated the capability to spread rapidly, leading to significant impacts on healthcare systems and causing societal disruption. GEO-CM04S1 was created by placing small pieces of SARS-CoV-2 DNA (the chemical form of genes) into synthetic MVA, which may be able to induce immunity (the ability to recognize and fight against an infection) to SARS-CoV-2. The purpose of the Phase 1 study is to determine the safety and the optimal dose of the GEO-CM04S1 vaccine.

The Phase 2 study is designed as a multi-center, double-blind, randomized, parallel, study to evaluate the safety profile of 2 dose levels of GEO-CM04S1 as a single booster shot to assess the immune response measured by the fold-increase in antibody against SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein at day 28 post-injection among healthy adult volunteers.
