A phase II study to evaluate safety and immunogenicity of recombinant protein candidate vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 in adults fully vaccinated against COVID-19 with extension period to evaluate a fourth dose

A Phase IIb, double-blind, randomized, active controlled, multi-centre, non-inferiority trial followed by a Phase III, single arm, open label trial, to assess immunogenicity and safety of a booster vaccination with a recombinant protein RBD fusion dimer candidate (PHH-1V) against SARS-CoV-2, in adults fully vaccinated against COVID-19 followed with an extension period to study a fourth dose administration of PHH-1V.

Part B: History of anaphylactic shock of any kind History of COVID-19 infection Participant received or plans to receive live attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks before and after Day 0, or other not live vaccines within 14 days before and after Day 0 Pregnancy or breast-feeding at vaccination time-point Participant has a clinically significant acute illness or fever at screening or within 48 hours prior to Day 0 Participant had a surgery requiring hospitalization before vaccination and he/she has not received the hospital dis
