Eligibility Criteria

12 Years - 85 Years (Child, Adult, Older Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy male or non-pregnant female between the age of 12 to 85 years at time of enrolment.

  • Previous exposure to SARS-CoV-2 or receipt of an investigational or licensed product for the prevention of COVID-19, MERS or SARS.
  • Have history of Guillain-Barre syndrome.
  • Subjects who take part in another clinical study within 12 weeks prior to the day of informed consent.
  • Immune deficiency/disorder, whether due to genetic defect, immunodeficiency disease or immunosuppressive therapy.
  • Subjects who plan to or are undergoing anti-cancer therapy.
  • Platelet disorder or other bleeding disorder may cause injection contraindication.
  • Prior chronic administration of immunosuppressant or corticosteroids, cytotoxic treatment in last 6 months before first vaccination.
  • Prior administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products in last 4 months before first vaccination.
  • Receipt of any seasonal or pandemic influenza vaccine within 14 days, or any other non-study vaccine within 28 days, before study intervention administration.
  • Anticipated receipt of any seasonal or pandemic influenza vaccine within 14 days, or any other nonstudy vaccine within 28 days, after study intervention administration.
  • Receipt of short-term (<14 days) systemic corticosteroids. Study intervention administration should be delayed until systemic corticosteroid use has been discontinued for at least 28 days. Inhaled/nebulized, intra-articular, intrabursal, or topical (skin or eyes) corticosteroids are permitted.
  • Loss or donation of blood over 500 mL within 3 months prior to Screening Visit or intention to donate blood or blood products for transfusion during the study.
  • Any medical disease or condition that, in the opinion of the study investigator, may confound the results of the study or pose an additional risk to the subjects by their participation in the study.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a phase II, observer-blind, multiple-centre, randomized, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety, tolerability and lot consistency of 2 doses of UB-612 vaccine in adolescent, younger and elderly adults. Around 3850 adult subjects will be randomized to be composed of the core group, while around 385 adolescents will be randomized to be the supplementary group. Subjects will be unblinded at Visit 5, and subjects in the vaccine group will be encouraged to have 3rd dose of vaccination.
Detailed Description
This clinical study will be consisted of 7 clinical visits and one long-term follow-up visit. Subjects will also be unblinded at Visit 5, subjects in placebo group will withdraw from the study and subjects in vaccine group will be encouraged to have 3rd dose of vaccination (Day 197~Day 242) at Visit 6. Those who received 3rd dose will have Visit 7 (14 days after Visit 6) to check the booster effect. After Day 197, subjects will enter the long-term follow-up with a safety call bi-monthly.
