Study VBT00001 is planned to be a Phase 1/2, randomized, modified double-blind, active-controlled, multi-center study to be conducted in approximately 980 adults aged 50 years and older in the United States. The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of IIV-HD (high-dose inactivated influenza vaccine) + rC19 (adjuvanted recombinant COVID-19 vaccine) vaccine comprised of IIV-HD combined with different recombinant Spike (rS) antigen levels of rC19 compared to IIV-HD alone, rC19 (dose 1) alone, and IIV-HD and rC19 (dose 1) (coadministered in opposite arms). Placebo will be coadministered in the IIV-HD alone, rC19 (dose 1) alone, and IIV-HD + rC19 study groups to cont…
