NCT ID NCT05205746
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a single dose of a new COVID-19 vaccine (AVX/COVID-12) in 158 healthy adults who already had some immunity to the virus. The vaccine was given either as an injection or a nasal spray to see which route worked better and was safe. Researchers measured antibody and T-cell responses to understand how well the vaccine boosted protection.
