Study of a Live rNDV Based Vaccine Against COVID-19

Summary

This is a Phase 1, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation study using three doses and two schemes of administration of a recombinant vaccine against SARS-CoV-2 based on a viral vector (Newcastle Disease virus) in 90 healthy volunteers at a single research site in Mexico City.
