Summary

The investigated product is a Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Booster Vaccine candidate optimized for the Omicron/BA.2 variant. There are currently no licensed, variant-optimized vaccines to prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2 Omicron/BA.2. Approved or authorized SARS-CoV-2 vaccines are expensive, require a stringent cold chain, and have large-scale manufacturing issues, resulting in very limited availability in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Given the rapid global spread of the Omicron/BA.2 variant and potential for future novel SARS-CoV-2 variants, the rapid development of an easy-to-manufacture and easy-to-distribute vaccine is of great importance.

The objective of the study is to assess the tolerability, safety, and immunogenicity of different doses and routes of administration of the Alveavax-v1.2 vaccine in healthy individuals.

The study aims to evaluate:

* the safety and tolerability of Alveavax-v1.2 in healthy participants compared to a control booster vaccine in a dose-finding design;
* the immunogenicity against SARS-CoV-2 BA.2/Omicron after a booster dose of Alveavax-v1.2;
* the clinical efficacy against SARS-CoV-2 after a booster dose of Alveavax-v1.2;
* and the success rate of intradermal (ID) injections.
