Brief summary
Study VBT00001 is planned to be a Phase 1/2, randomized, modified double-blind, active-controlled, multi-center study to be conducted in approximately 980 adults aged 50 years and older in the United States. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of IIV-HD (high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine) + rC19 (adjuvanted recombinant COVID-19 vaccine) vaccine comprised of IIV-HD combined with different recombinant Spike (rS) antigen levels of rC19 compared to IIV-HD alone, rC19 (dose 1) alone, and IIV-HD and rC19 (dose 1) (coadministered in opposite arms). Placebo will be coadministered in the IIV-HD alone, rC19 (dose 1) alone, and IIV-HD + rC19 study groups to control for the number of injections and to maintain observer-blinding. Thus, each participant will receive two injections at enrollment, one in each deltoid muscle. Study details include: * The study duration will be approximately 12 months * Study intervention will be administered via a single intramuscular (IM) injection into the right and left deltoid muscles on D01 * Dose escalation with sequential enrollment (sentinel cohort followed by main cohort for a given dose) * The visit frequency will be D01, D09 (telephone call), D30, D182 (telephone call), and D366 (telephone call) Number of Participants: Approximately 980 participants are expected to be randomized.

Study design
Masking description
The study will be performed in a modified double-blind fashion. Modified double-blind: * Investigator, participants, and laboratory personnel will be blinded * Clinical site staff preparing/administering the study vaccines will be unblinded * Sponsor study staff will be blinded, except for dedicated staff involved in interim analysis, who will be unblinded at the time of interim analysis, and for dedicated staff involved in assessing criteria for safety surveillance
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria to be checked at Screening Visit * Aged 50 years or older on the day of inclusion * Informed consent form has been signed and dated. * Able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all study procedures. * Participant must be able to receive an injection in the deltoid muscle of both arms. * Participant must have completed a primary vaccination series against SARS-CoV-2 and at least 1 booster with a locally authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine. Inclusion criteria to be checked at Visit 1 (D01): * Aged 50 years or older on the day of inclusion * Participants who are healthy or with pre-existing stable condition (defined as disease not requiring significant change in therapy or hospitalization for worsening disease during the 12 weeks before enrollment), as determined by medical evaluation including medical history and physical examination. * A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding and one of the following conditions applies: * Is of non-childbearing potential. To be considered of non-childbearing potential, a female must be post-menopausal for at least 1 year, or surgically sterile. OR • Is of childbearing potential and agrees to use an effective contraceptive method or abstinence from at least 4 weeks prior to study intervention administration until at least 4 weeks after study intervention administration. A female participant of childbearing potential must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulation) on the day of enrollment before the first dose of study intervention. * Informed consent form has been signed and dated. * Able to attend all scheduled visits and to comply with all study procedures. * Participant must be able to receive an injection in the deltoid muscle of both arms. * Participant must have completed a primary vaccination series against SARS-CoV-2 and at least 1 booster with a locally authorized or approved COVID-19 vaccine.
