This phase 1 clinical trial consists of an initial open-label sentinel run-in (n=25) and a randomized, double-blind, dose-finding (n=125) investigating three antigen dose levels (low, medium and high) of VLA1601 and bedside mixing of the low-dose formulation with one of the two additional adjuvants (CpG1018®, 3M-052-AF/AP 60-702). VLA1601 will be administered according to a two-dose regimen (i.e., on Day 1 and Day 29). The primary objective of this trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of the vaccine candidate up to 7 days after each vaccination; and to assess the immune response induced by the vaccine candidate 28 days after the second vaccination. Additionally, safety and immun…
