Summary

This early-stage trial tested a new recombinant COVID-19 vaccine (GEN2) in 234 healthy adults aged 18 and older. The main goal was to check safety and how well the body's immune system responds. Participants received one of three different doses or a placebo, and researchers monitored for side effects and antibody levels.

Active substance

Recombinant SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine (CHO cells, NVSI-06-08)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new COVID-19 vaccine option that is safe and triggers an immune response.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 234 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet proven. The vaccine may not work as hoped or could cause side effects.
