About This Trial

This is a Phase 1a, single-country, single-centre, single-blinded, COV2 vaccine formulation randomized trial designed to investigate and compare the safety and immunogenicity of two COV2 vaccine formulations. COV2 is a nasal, investigational vaccine against COVID-19, based on a serotype 5 adenoviral vector producing modified SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Participants will receive one of the two COV2 formulations in two doses on Day 0 and Day 28. This trial consists of two parts; Part 1 is a vaccination phase assessing safety and immunogenicity and Part 2 is a long-term immunogenicity follow-up assessing persistence of immune response.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For COVID - 19, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 20 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.
