About this trial

This Phase I/II trial in France evaluates safety and immunogenicity of a booster dose of an intranasal COVID-19 vaccine (LVT-001) versus a booster dose of a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (Pfizer-BioNTech) in healthy adult volunteers.

As a first-in-human trial, Phase I will assess the safety and immunogenicity of three escalating doses of the LVT-001 vaccine across 3 cohorts of 12 volunteers per dose level.

Based on cumulative data collected up to Day 28 visit from the last included participant in the Phase I, the go/no-go decision for Phase II and selection of the optimal dose will be performed.

Phase II will then evaluate the immunogenicity of the selected intranasal dose of LVT-001 vaccine, compared to the standard of care of intramuscular COVID-19 mRNA Pfizer-BioNTech booster.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Written informed consent obtained from the participant.

≥ 18 and ≤ 55 years for phase I

≥ 18 and ≤ 60 years for phase II.

Good general health as determined at the discretion of the investigator (vital signs, medical history, and physical examination).

Disqualifiers

Temperature ≥ 38.0°C or symptoms of acute self-limiting illness such as upper respiratory tract infection or gastroenteritis within three days prior to vaccine dose.

Any form of contraindication to the trial vaccines tested.

History of chronic rhinitis, nasal septal defect, cleft palate, nasal polyps, or other nasal abnormality that might alter nasal mucosa and affect vaccine response.

A piercing or obstruction in the nostrils that could impede vaccine administration.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Phase I: Proportion of participants experiencing an immediate adverse event

Time frame
Within an hour and half following the vaccination at Day 0
2

Phase I: Proportion of participants experiencing solicited local reactogenicity

Vaccines are associated with a number of well-characterised reactions referred to as "solicited adverse events"

Time frame
Between Day 0 and Day 7 (Day 0 is the day of the vaccination)
3

Phase I: Proportion of participants experiencing solicited systemic signs and symptoms

Vaccines are associated with a number of well-characterised reactions referred to as "solicited adverse events"

Time frame
Between Day 0 and Day 14 (Day 0 is the day of the vaccination)
4

Phase I: Proportion of participants experiencing an unsolicited adverse events

Unsolisited adverse events (AEs) are AEs other than solicited AEs

Time frame
Between Day 0 and Day 28 (Day 0 is the day of the vaccination)

Secondary outcomes

1

Crude variation of the mucosal humoral immune response specific to the vaccine N/S recombinant protein

sIgA from nose swabs measured by ELISA

Time frame
Between Day 0 and Day 7 (Phase I), Day 14, D28 (Phase I), Month 3, Month 6 and Month 12 (Day 0 is the day of the vaccination)
2

Neutralizing capacity of the mucosal humoral immune response specific to the vaccine N/S recombinant protein

Neutralizing Ig from nose swabs measured by PRNT and VLP assays

Time frame
At Day 0, Day 7 (Phase I), Day 14, Day 28, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12 (Day 0 is the day of the vaccination)
3

Crude variation of the systemic humoral immune response specific to the vaccine N/S recombinant protein

Serum anti-S and anti-N IgG measured by ELISA

Time frame
At Day 0, Day 7 (Phase I), Day 14, Day 28, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12 (Day 0 is the day of the vaccination)
4

Neutralizing capacity of the systemic humoral immune response specific to the vaccine N/S recombinant protein

Neutralizing serum IgG measured by PRNT and VLP assays

Time frame
at Day 0, Day 7 (Phase I), Day 14, Day 28, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12 (Day 0 is the day of the vaccination)
