Brief Summary:
This study will assess the safety and immunogenicity of AG0301-COVID19 in healthy adult volunteers.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
COVID-19 Biological: AG0301-COVID19 Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a Phase 1/2, single-center, non-randomised, open-label, non-controlled trial. Approximately 30 healthy volunteers, male or female, aged 20-65, will be enrolled in the low dose group for the first 15 and the high dose group for the remaining 15.

Low dose group: 1.0 mg AG0301-COVID19 intramuscular (IM) (n = 15) High dose group: 2.0 mg AG0301-COVID19 IM (n = 15)

Outcome Measures
Go to 

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] [ Time Frame: Week 1 through Week 9 ]
    Frequency and severity of each adverse event, solicited local and systemic AEs 8 weeks after each vaccination

  2. Immunogenicity [ Time Frame: Weeks 3, 5, 7, 9 ]
    Change in Geometric mean titer (GMT) of serum anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein-specific antibody


Secondary Outcome Measures :

  2. Change in GMT of anti-SARS-CoV-2 Spike (S) glycoprotein receptor binding domain-specific antibody [ Time Frame: Weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 25, 53 ]
  3. Change in GMT of anti-SARS-CoV-2 B cell epitope antibody [ Time Frame: Weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 25, 53 ]
  4. Change in IgG subclasses (IgG1 and IgG2) of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein-specific antibody [ Time Frame: Weeks 3, 5, 7, 9, 13, 25, 53 ]
  5. Adverse events [ Time Frame: Week 9 through Week 53 ]
