Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To evaluate the immunogenicity of VXA-G1.1-NN with repeat-dose administration at Day 1 and varying boost schedules (Week 4, 8 or 12 post initial dose) in healthy adults aged 18-55, inclusive, and to assess the safety and tolerability of VXA- G1.1-NN with repeat-dose administration at varying boost schedules (Week 4, 8 or 12) in healthy adults aged 18-55, inclusive

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Viral-capsid protein 1 (VP1)-specific antibody secreting cells (ASC) by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISpot) assay [Day 1 (Initial Vaccination) through Day 8 post boost (Second Vaccination)]
Comparison of VPI specific immunoglobin A (IgA) ASC levels between the 3 study cohorts
- Norovirus G1.1 histo-blood group antigen (HBGA) blocking antibodies (BT50) Assay [Day 1 (Initial Vaccination) through Day 29 post boost (Second Vaccination)]
Comparison of GI.1 BT50 levels between the 3 study cohorts
- VP1 serum immunoglobin G (IgG) by ELISA [Day 1 (Initial Vaccination) through Day 29 post boost (Second Vaccination)]
Comparison of VPI specific immunoglobin A (IgA) ASC levels between the 3 study cohorts
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Solicited symptoms of Reactogenicity [Day 1 (Vaccination) to Day 8 post each vaccination]
Comparison of frequency, duration, and severity of solicited symptoms
Other Outcome Measures
- Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs) [Day 1 (Vaccine) through 28 days following boost (Second Vaccination)]
Comparison of the frequency, duration, and severity of unsolicited AEs and serious AEs (SAEs) including AEs of Special Interest (AESIs) and new onsets of chronic illness (NOCIs)
- Long-term Safety [Day 1 (Vaccine) through 6 months following boost (Second Vaccination)]
Frequency, duration, and severity of all SAEs, AESIs and NOCIs through 6 months after last vaccination.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- To be eligible for this study, participants must meet all the following:
Age
- 18 to 55 years old inclusive at the time of signing the Informed Consent Form (ICF).
Type of Participants
-
General good health, without significant medical illness, based on medical history, physical examination, vital signs, and clinical laboratories (CBC, chemistry, and urinalysis) as determined by the investigator in consultation with the Research Monitor and Sponsor
-
Body mass index (BMI) between 17 and 35 kg/m2 at screening
-
Available for all planned visits and phone calls, and willing to complete all protocol- defined procedures and assessments (including ability and willingness to swallow multiple small enteric-coated tablets per study dose).
Gender and Reproductive Considerations
- Male or female participants Contraception use by men or women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.
- Female participants must provide a negative pregnancy test at each required visit and fulfill one of the following criteria:
-
At least 1 year post-menopausal (defined as amenorrhea for ≥12 consecutive months prior to Screening without an alternative medical cause).
-
Women under 60 years will need to verify post-menopausal status via a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test if another option to prevent potential pregnancy will not be utilized for 30 days prior to baseline vaccination and until 60 days after the last vaccination.
-

-
Use of oral, implantable, transdermal or injectable contraceptives for 30 days prior to initial vaccination and until 60 days after the last vaccination. The form of contraception must be approved by the Investigator

Exclusion Criteria:
- The participants must be excluded from participating in the study if they meet any of the following:
