Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Phase I study of the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of GLS-5310 DNA vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: GLS-5130
  • Biological: Placebo
Phase 1

Detailed Description

This Phase I, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging, single-blind study will assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of GLS-5310 DNA vaccine administered intradermally (ID) with or without concomitant intranasal (IN) administration of GLS-5310. Vaccine delivered ID will either be performed by Mantoux injection and followed by suction applied to the skin surface using the Gene-Derm device or Mantous injection alone without applied suction. Vaccine delivered IN will be administered using the MAD300 atomizer.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

    solicited/unsolicited local and systemic AEs

  2. Geometric mean titer (GMT) of antigen specific antibody titers [Through 56 weeks post vaccination]

    Endpoint titer of binding antibody in serum

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Evaluation of positive response rate of T cell responses induced by GLS-5310 [Through 56 weeks post vaccination]

  2. Geometric mean titer (GMT) of neutralizing antibody titers [Through 56 weeks post vaccination]

    Plaque-reduction neutralizing titer(PRNT) in serum at each timepoint

Other Outcome Measures
