The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and relative efficacy of CVXGA(CVXGA50), a KP.2 containing vaccine, compared to COMIRNATY® (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA;2024-2025 Formula), a currently approved COVID-19 vaccine in the prevention ofsymptomatic, RT-PCR-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. The trial will enroll up to 10016healthy participants.
This is a double-blind, active comparator-controlled Phase 2b study to evaluate the
efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety study in which eligible adult participants will be
randomized 1:1 to receive CVXGA (CVXGA50) or COMIRNATY.
Number of Participants:
The proposed enrollment for this study is approximately 10,000 participants, plus an
additional 16 participants enrolled in Sentinel Cohort 1 and Sentinel Cohort 2 (8
participants in each cohort).
Treatment Assignment:
Participants in Sentinel Cohort 1 and Sentinel Cohort 2 will be assigned to receive a
single dose of CVXGA (CVXGA50) intranasally and will not receive an IM placebo.
All other participants in the study will be randomized 1:1 to receive a single dose of
CVXGA (CVXGA50) intranasally (plus a single dose of IM placebo), or a single dose of IM
COMIRNATY (plus a single dose of intranasal placebo).
Study visits: Participants will be asked to complete approximately 6-7 clinic visits,
over a period of approximately 12 months duration per participant.
Biological: CVXGA (CVXGA50)
CVXGA is a recombinant parainfluenza virus type 5 (PIV5) engineered to express SARS-CoV-2
S gene from the KP.2 strain.
Biological: COMIRNATY®
COMIRNATY® (COVID-19 vaccine, mRNA) suspension for injection, for intramuscular use,
2024-2025 Formula (BioNTech Manufacturing GmbH [Mainz, Germany] and Pfizer Inc. [New
York, NY]) will be used as the comparator vaccine for this study.

adequate method of birth control from Screening through 90 days after last study
vaccination, and has used an adequate birth control method for at least 30 days
prior to Screening.
A. Female of childbearing potential is defined as post onset menarche and pre-menopausal
person capable of becoming pregnant. This does not include females who meet any of the
following conditions: a) menopausal >2 years; b) tubal ligation >1 year; c) bilateral

less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly and when applicable, in
accordance with the product label. Examples include: oral contraceptives, either combined
or progestogen alone; injectable progestogen; implants of etonogestrel or levonorgestrel;
estrogenic vaginal ring; percutaneous contraceptive patches; intrauterine device or
intrauterine system; the female participant has exclusively female sexual partners;
partner is sterile or otherwise unable to produce sperm (information on the person's
sterility can come from the site personnel's review of the participant's medical records
or interview with the participant regarding her medical history); male condom combined
with a vaginal spermicide (foam, gel, film, cream, or suppository); or male condom
combined with a female diaphragm, either with or without a vaginal spermicide (foam, gel,
film, cream, or suppository).
- Is medically stable, as determined by the site investigator (based on review of
health status, vital signs, medical history, and physical examination).
- Agrees to not participate in any other SARS-CoV-2 infection prevention trial
(vaccine, drug, biologic, or pre-exposure prophylaxis [PrEP]) during participation
in the study.
- Willing and able to provide informed consent prior to initiation of study
procedures.
- Is available for all study visits, willing to participate in all study procedures,
and not planning to relocate from the area for the duration of the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Has an acute illness, as determined by the site investigator, within 72 hours prior
to Screening or study vaccination.
(a. An acute illness that is nearly resolved, with only minor residual symptoms
remaining, is allowable if, in the opinion of the site investigator, the residual
symptoms will not interfere with the ability of study staff to assess safety
parameters as required by the protocol.)
- Has had a positive COVID-19 test within the 90 days prior to Screening or study
vaccination.
- Current or planned participation in any other interventional clinical trial.
- Prior receipt of a PIV5-based vaccine (e.g., CVXGA1, CVXGA35, or BLB201 [an RSV
vaccine being developed by CyanVac/Blue Lake Biotechnology]).
- Participation in research involving any investigational product within 45 days prior
to Screening or study vaccination.
- Receipt of any approved or authorized products intended to prevent SARS-CoV-2
infection within 6 months prior to Screening (complete list provided in the pharmacy
manual).
- Receipt or anticipated receipt of, within 7 days prior through 31 days after study
vaccination, any intranasal medication including FDA approved prescription or
over-the-counter products or non-FDA approved alternative medicine products (e.g.,
intranasal Fluticasone {commonly used intranasal products that would be used, which
is not herbal/naturopathic}, Ayurvedic oil or other naturopathic substances).

the opinion of the investigator, may affect vaccine administration).
