Detailed Description
This study is a Phase I, first-in-human (FIH), double-blind, placebo- and OMV-controlled study of Avacc 10 in healthy adult male and female subjects to investigate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of intranasally administered Avacc 10.
Approximately 36 subjects are planned to be enrolled across 2 cohorts (n=18 per cohort). Cohort 1 will receive a low dose of Avacc 10 and Cohort 2 will receive a high dose of Avacc 10.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of intranasal administration of Avacc 10 in healthy subjects by incidence of adverse events. [Screening to end of the follow up period; up to 28 days post final administration period]
Adverse Events will be coded using the most current version of the MedDRA®
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of intranasal administration of Avacc 10 in healthy subjects by evaluating serious adverse events. [Screening to end of the follow up period; up to 28 days post final administration period]
Serious Adverse Events will be coded using the most current version of the MedDRA®
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of intranasal administration of Avacc 10 in healthy subjects by incidence of clinically significant laboratory findings [Screening to end of the follow up period; up to 28 days post final administration period]
Clinical laboratory samples will consist of hematology, biochemistry, and urinalysis
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of intranasal administration of Avacc 10 in healthy subjects by incidence of clinically significant ECG findings [Screening to end of the follow up period; up to 28 days post final administration period]
ECG findings will be used for safety analysis.
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of intranasal administration of Avacc 10 in healthy subjects by incidence of clinically significant vital signs [Screening to end of the follow up period; up to 28 days post final administration period]
BP [systolic and diastolic], PR, and temperature will be measured for analysis of vital signs
Secondary Outcome Measures
- To evaluate the immunogenic response of intranasal administration of Avacc 10 in healthy subjects. Immunogenicity evaluations will be done via serum analysis for biomarkers representative of an immunogenic response to a SARSCoV-2 vaccine. [At Screening (at least 3 days prior to first administration), at the follow-up visits 2 weeks following each dose (Day 15 [± 1 day] and Day 36 [± 1 day]), and at the follow-up visit 28 days (window 28-35 days) following the second treatment dose]
Assessment will be performed of the association between changes in immunogenicity outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 NAbs in serum, anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgA and IgG in serum. The Immunogenicity Population will be the primary population for immunogenicity endpoints.
- To evaluate the immunogenic response of intranasal administration of Avacc 10 in healthy subjects. Immunogenicity evaluations will be done via nasal wash analyses for biomarkers representative of an immunogenic response to a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. [At Screening (at least 3 days prior to first administration), at the follow-up visits 2 weeks following each dose (Day 15 [± 1 day] and Day 36 [± 1 day]), and at the follow-up visit 28 days (window 28-35 days) following the second treatment dose]
Assessment will be performed of the association between changes in immunogenicity outcomes of anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgA in nasal wash. The Immunogenicity Population will be the primary population for immunogenicity endpoints.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- To be eligible for this study, a participant has to meet all of the following inclusion criteria:
-
Healthy male or female subjects between the ages of 18 and 55 years, inclusive. Healthy is defined as no clinically relevant abnormalities identified by a detailed medical history, a full physical/neurological examination including vital signs (including systolic and diastolic BP, temperature, and PR), a 12-lead ECG, and clinical laboratory tests).
-
Participant must have received a vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 or have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 at least ≥ 4 months prior to the first study dose or shown to be sero-positive to IgG by any of the serological tests marketed as EUA and authorized by the FDA.

-
Screening supine BP ≥ 155 mmHg (systolic) or ≥ 95 mmHg (diastolic), following at least 5 minutes of supine rest. If BP is ≥ 155 mmHg (systolic) or ≥ 95 mmHg (diastolic), the BP should be repeated 2 more times with the subject at supine rest and the average of the 3 BP values should be used to determine the subjects' eligibility.
-

If QTcF exceeds 450 msec for men or 470 msec for females, or QRS exceeds ≥ 120 msec, the ECG should be repeated 2 more times and the average of the 3 QTcF (or QRS) values should be used to determine the subjects' eligibility.
-
Subjects with clinically significant abnormalities (as determined by the Investigator) in clinical laboratory tests at Screening, as assessed by the study-specific clinical laboratory. A single repeat test may be conducted if deemed necessary. Exception may be granted at the discretion of the Investigator where no confounding factors are expected to impact the safety of the subjects or the integrity of the study
-
Pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant (self or partner) at any time during the study, or 90 days after last intranasal administration.
-
