Model Description
This was a parallel group prevention study. Participants from 2 age groups (adults 18 through 49 years of age and adults 50 years of age and older) received either 1 injection (Cohort 1) or 2 injections (Cohort 2) of study vaccine or placebo control. As a precautionary step, a sentinel safety cohort of 6 participants (younger adults only) within each dosing group from Cohort 1 was enrolled. An early safety data review was performed, including evaluation of safety data and laboratory measures to Day 9. Upon acceptable safety demonstrated from unblinded data review by limited members of the Sponsor Study Team, the remaining participants were enrolled simultaneously.
