DMID 24-0009 (Coronavirus Vaccination)

Purpose of this Study

We are doing this study to find out if an experimental vaccine called Cov-RBD-scNP-001 (the study vaccine) provides safe and effective protection against multiple different coronaviruses, including the virus that causes COVID-19. We want to know the effects of the vaccine when it's given at 3 different dose levels.

What is Involved?

Description

If you choose to join this study, you will participate in 1 of 3 groups:
  • Low Dose Cohort: If you are in this group, you will get a 50 mcg (microgram) dose of the study vaccine.
  • Medium Dose Cohort: If you are in this group, you will get a 100 mcg dose of the study vaccine.
  • High Dose Cohort: If you are in this group, you will get a 150 mcg dose of the study vaccine.
The group in which you participate will depend on when you join the study. The low dose cohort will enroll first, then the medium dose cohort, and finally the high dose cohort. The study team can let you know what group is being enrolled before you decide to take part. The study vaccine is given as a shot. You will get 2 shots of the vaccine that are 4 weeks apart. After your second shot of the study vaccine, you will come to our clinic for visits at various times over the next 12 months. During these visits, you will have blood draws, answer questionnaires, and have physical exams. If you have symptoms of COVID-19 or test positive for it while you are in the study, we will schedule extra visits for you to come in for check ups.
