Brief summary
This is a first-in-human (FIH) study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of IVX-411 in 84 healthy SARS-CoV-2-seronegative adults 18 to 69 years of age. The study will also investigate whether an adjuvant is required in the formulation to enhance immune responses to IVX-411. The selected adjuvant, MF59®, is an oil-in-water emulsion that has shown to increase immunogenicity and is associated with a good safety and tolerability profile. The stopping rules and safety will be monitored by an internal safety review committee (iSRC) and a Safety Monitoring Committee.
Interventions
The investigational vaccine, IVX-411, is a computationally-designed recombinant protein virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine under development for the prevention of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. ‘IVX-411 study vaccine’ refers to either the aqueous formulation IVX-411a or the adjuvanted formulation IVX-411d. The volume of vaccine formulation to be administered via intramuscular injection is 0.5 mL. It is a first-in-human (FIH) study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of IVX-411 in 84 healthy SARS-CoV-2-seronegative adults 18 to 69 years of age. The participants will be randomly allocated to one of six IVX-411 formulations (low, medium or high doses with or without MF59) or to the Placebo arm. IVX-411 will be administered intramuscularly as two doses given 28 days apart. The inclusion of MF59 adjuvant in the vaccine is expected to enhance the immune response and increase the duration of the immune response, which is important in prolonged SARS-CoV-2 circulation and/or ongoing outbreaks. The dose levels of IVX-411 with or without MF59 are 5, 25 or 125 µg. Adherence to intervention is not applicable since this is not self-administered and will be administered intramuscularly by trial site personnel as two doses given 28 days apart.

History of hypersensitivity or serious adverse reactions to vaccines, such as anaphylaxis, Guillain-Barré, and angioedema, or any known allergies to any component of the IVX-411 vaccine, or hypersensitivity to latex. 7. Abnormal function of the immune system resulting from clinical conditions including human immunodeficiency virus, chronic administration of systemic corticosteroids or administration of immunosuppressive chemotherapy, biologics, or radiotherapy within the past 3 months before study randomization. 8. Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody. 9.
