Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Dose Escalation CVnCoV Participants will be vaccinated with CVnCoV at escalating dose levels on Day 1 and Day 29. Safety data will inform the decision to continue enrolling at the current dose level, or to proceed to dose escalation. Initially, dose levels of 2, 4 and 8 μg will be evaluated. Dose levels of 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12µg will be evaluated with potential increase to dose levels up to 20 μg. |
Biological: CVnCoV Vaccine
Participants will receive an intramuscular injection by needle in the deltoid area.
Other Names:
|
| Placebo Comparator: Dose Escalation Placebo Participants will be given placebo on Day 1 and Day 29. |
Drug: Placebo
Participants will receive an intramuscular injection by needle in the deltoid area.
