Safety and Immunogenicity of an Intranasal RSV Vaccine Expressing SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein (COVID-19 Vaccine) in Adults

Summary

This study evaluates an investigational vaccine that is designed to protect humans against infection with SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus causing COVID-19 disease. The investigational vaccine, MV-014-212, is a live attenuated vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that is expressing the spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2. MV-014-212 is administered as drops or a spray in the nose. Specifically, this study analyzes the safety of, and the immune response to, the vaccine when administered to healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 69 years who are seronegative to SARS-CoV-2 and have not received a prior vaccine against COVID-19.
