Safety and Immunogenicity Trial of MPV/S-2P SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine in Adults
Purpose
A clinical trial to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of MPV/S-2P administered intranasally to adults who have previously received a primary series and at least one booster with an authorized or licensed mRNA SARS-CoV-2 parenteral vaccine. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of a single dose of MPV/S-2P in previously vaccinated healthy adults.

Inclusion Criteria
- Provides written informed consent prior to initiation of any study procedures. 2. Able to understand and agrees to comply with planned study procedures and be available for all study visits. 3. Non-pregnant adults, 18-64 years of age at time of vaccination. 4. Participants of childbearing potential * must agree to use or have practiced true abstinence ** or use at least one acceptable primary form of contraception *** * These criteria are applicable to persons assigned female at birth who have sexual intercourse with a person assigned male at birth, and who are of childbearing potential. Not of childbearing potential include post-menopausal females (defined as having a history of amenorrhea for at least one year) or a documented status as being surgically sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, tubal ligation/salpingectomy, or Essure (R) placement) ** True abstinence is 100 percent of time no sexual intercourse (penis enters the vagina). Periodic abstinence [e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods. *** Acceptable forms of primary contraception include monogamous relationship with a vasectomized partner who has been vasectomized for 180 days or more prior to the participant's vaccination, intrauterine devices, birth control pills, and injectable/implantable/insertable/transdermal hormonal birth control products. Must have used at least one acceptable primary form of contraception for at least 30 days prior to vaccination and agree to continue at least one acceptable primary form of contraception through 60 days after vaccination 5. Participants of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test at screening and within 24 hours prior to study vaccination. 6. In general good health*. *As determined by medical history and physical examination, including vital signs, to evaluate acute or ongoing chronic medical diagnoses/conditions that have been present for at least 90 days, which would affect the assessment of safety of participants. Chronic medical diagnoses/ conditions should be stable for the last 30 days (i.e., no hospitalizations, ER, or urgent care for condition). This includes no change in chronic prescription medication, dose, or frequency as a result of deterioration of the chronic medical diagnosis/condition in the 30 days before study vaccination. Any prescription change that is due to change of health care provider, insurance company, etc., or done for financial reasons, and in the same class of medication, will not be considered a deviation of this inclusion criterion. Participants may be on chronic or as needed (prn) medications if, in the opinion of the participating site PI or appropriate sub-investigator, they pose no additional risk to participant safety or assessment of reactogenicity and immunogenicity. 7. Receipt of a complete primary COVID-19 mRNA vaccine series and at least one mRNA booster* with last vaccination at least 16 weeks prior to study vaccination. - Booster may be either homologous or heterologous to the primary vaccine series and must be an FDA authorized/licensed mRNA vaccine though doses may have been received as part of a clinical trial. 8. Clinical screening laboratory evaluations are within normal reference ranges or grade 1 with no clinical significance (NCS) per investigator discretion*. *White Blood Cells [WBCs] with differential, hemoglobin [Hgb], platelets [PLTs], Alanine Transaminase [ALT], Aspartate Transaminase [AST], Creatinine [Cr], Alkaline Phosphatase [ALP], Total Bilirubin [T. Bili]). ALT, AST, ALP, T. Bili and creatinine values that are below the reference range will not be exclusionary as these values below reference range are clinically insignificant. 9. Must agree to have samples stored for secondary research. 10. Must agree to wearing a surgical mask (or KN-95 or N-95) within 6 feet of others for 14 days after study vaccination, and potentially longer if asked by study team based on data gathered.

Detailed Description
A phase I clinical trial to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of MPV/S-2P administered intranasally to adults who have previously received a primary series and at least one booster with an authorized or licensed mRNA SARS-CoV-2 parenteral vaccine. The study is designed as a non-randomized, open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial in non-pregnant adult participants, 18-64 years of age (with a goal of 30 percent or more >/=50 years of age), with or without prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, who are in good health and meet all other eligibility criteria. For the evaluation of three doses of MPV/S-2P vaccine, a sample size of 60 participants is anticipated. To evaluate for early safety signals vaccination will proceed in a staged fashion. For Cohort 1, three sentinel participants under 50 years of age will be enrolled over at least 2 days. A safety review of clinical data and virologic shedding data through at least Day 8 will be conducted by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) prior to enrollment of the remainder of the cohort. Once Cohort 1 is fully enrolled, progression to Cohort 2 will be based on evaluation of halting rules, and cumulative clinical safety and virologic shedding data from Cohort 1 through at least Day 8 by the SRC. Cohort 2 and 3 enrollment and safety oversight will proceed in the same fashion as Cohort 1. At the discretion of the SRC, additional participants in the cohort may be designated sentinels for any cohort. If halting rules are met the study will be paused for the SRC safety data review. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of a single dose of MPV/S-2P in previously vaccinated healthy adults. The secondary objectives are 1) To evaluate the systemic anti-Spike humoral immune responses after vaccination 2) To evaluate nasal mucosal IgA and IgG responses after vaccination 3) To assess the duration and magnitude of viral vector (vaccine) shedding 4) To assess the immune response towards the vector.
