Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about, test, and compare JCXH-221 in healthy volunteers. The main aims to answer are: * To assess the safety and tolerability of the JCXH-221 vaccine in healthy adult subjects * To identify an optimal dose for the JCXH-221 vaccine in healthy adult subjects * To assess the humoral immunogenicity of the JCXH-221 vaccine in healthy adult subjects * To characterize the cellular immunogenicity of the JCXH-221 vaccine in healthy adult subjects Participants for Phase I will be randomized to either JCXH-221 or placebo.
Detailed description
This is a phase 1 study looking to enroll a total of 72 patients. For phase 1, two cohorts will be explored (18-64 age group and 65+ age group) for a total of 72 subjects. The subjects will be enrolled and randomized to either placebo or JCXH-221. A low dose of JCXH-221 will be explored vs placebo for each age group first.
Interventions
Participants will be randomized to either placebo or JCXH-221 for Phase 1. For Phase 2, participants will either be randomized to JCXH-221 or a FDA approved Active comparator.
Participants will be randomized in Phase 1 to either JCXH-221 or placebo

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Main Inclusion Criteria * Sex: Male or female; female subjects may be of childbearing potential, of nonchildbearing potential, or postmenopausal. * Age: 18 years of age or older, at screening. * Status: Healthy subjects. * Subjects must have completed the full doses for primary vaccination with an approved SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and may have received booster dose(s), with the last vaccination (can be 2nd dose of primary vaccination or booster dose) having occurred at least 4 months prior to enrollment. Main
Exclusion criteria
* Current or prior symptomatic or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by an approved or authorized rapid antigen test on Day 1 or within 4 months prior to Day 1. * Subjects with significant exposure (as defined by current CDC guidance) to someone with laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 with the past 14 days prior to the Screening visit. * Subjects with fever or signs of acute infection at the time of enrollment and vaccination. * Subjects who are taking medications that may prevent or treat COVID-19. * Subjects who received convalescent serum or prior therapeutic antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 within 4 months before Day 1. * Subjects with history of myocarditis or pericarditis, or with AEs after mRNA vaccination that are in nature and severity beyond the common AEs expected and necessitating medical intervention. * Subjects with active or suspected immunosuppression, immunodeficiency, or autoimmune disease.
