About this trial

The purpose of the current study is to assess the effectiveness of protein-based COVID-19 or influenza vaccines when given individually or together via oral/ sublingual mucosal route instead of intramuscular delivery. The comparator will be a seasonal influenza vaccine which will also be administered with Advax-CpG adjuvant via the oral route. This study will use a cross-over design and everyone in the study will over a space of about 4 months receive both the COVID-19 and influenza vaccines.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Able to provide written informed consent

Males or females 18 years of age or older

Understand and are likely to comply with planned study procedures and be available for all study visits.

Do not plan to have a non-study COVID-19 or influenza vaccine within the next 6 months.

Disqualifiers

Allergy to COVID-19 or seasonal influenza vaccine or one of its components e.g. polysorbate 80.

Have received a COVID-19 or influenza vaccine or an experimental agent within 30 days prior to the study vaccination or expect to receive another experimental agent or a COVID-19 or influenza vaccine during the trial reporting period.

Any serious medical, social or mental condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, would be detrimental to the subjects or the study.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

SARS-CoV-2 Seroconversion

Proportion of study participants who seroconvert (4-fold or greater rise in serum spike antibody) by primary vaccine group

Time frame
Between baseline and 2 weeks post the second dose
2

Influenza Seroconversion

Proportion of study participants who seroconvert (4-fold or greater rise in hemagglutinin antibody) by primary vaccine group

Time frame
Between baseline and 2 weeks post the second dose
3

SARS-CoV-2 Seroprotection

Proportion of study participants who achieve a spike protein neutralisation titer of 32 or greater by primary vaccine group

Time frame
Between baseline and 2 weeks post the second dose
4

Influenza Seroprotection

Proportion of study participants who achieve a hemagglutinin neutralisation titer of 40 or greater by primary vaccine group

Time frame
Between baseline and 2 weeks post the second dose

Secondary outcomes

1

Antibody durability

The proportion of subjects who remain seroprotected throughout the duration of the study including broken down by primary vaccine group.

Time frame
From 2 weeks post the administration of the second dose and through study completion, an average of 10 months
2

Seroconversion in participants with and without evidence of past infection

Antibody seroconversion in participants by primary vaccine group

Time frame
From 2 weeks post the administration of the second dose and through study completion, an average of 10 months
3

Antibody GMT in participants with and without evidence of past infection

Antibody GMT in baseline seropositive versus negative participants by primary vaccine group.

Time frame
From 2 weeks post the administration of the second dose and through study completion, an average of 10 months
4

Antibody correlates of protection

antibody levels in subjects with or without breakthrough infection

Time frame
From 2 weeks post the administration of the second dose and through study completion, an average of 10 months
