Could this vaccine stop future coronavirus pandemics?

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Provide written informed consent prior to the initiation of any trial procedures. 2. Able to understand and agrees to comply with all planned trial procedures and be available for all study visits. 3. Male, or non-pregnant, non-breastfeeding female, age 18-55 years, inclusive, at time first study vaccination. 4. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use or have practiced true abstinence or use at least one acceptable primary form of contraception. Note: These criteria are applicable to females in a relationship with a male, and who are of child-bearing potential). Not of childbearing potential - post-menopausal females (defined as having a history of amenorrhea for at least one year) or a documented status as being surgically sterile (hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or Essure® placement). True abstinence is 100% of time no sexual intercourse (male's penis enters the female's vagina). (Periodic abstinence \[e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods\] and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception). Acceptable forms of primary contraception include monogamous relationship with a vasectomized partner who has been vasectomized for 180 days or more prior to the participant's first vaccination, tubal ligation, intrauterine devices, birth control pills, and injectable/implantable/insertable/transdermal hormonal birth control products. Must have used at least one acceptable primary form of contraception for at least 30 days prior to the first vaccination and continue at least one acceptable primary form of contraception through 60 days after the last vaccination. 5. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to each study vaccination. 6. Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to refrain from donating sperm and to be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse with a female of childbearing potential as their preferred and usual lifestyle or must agree to use a male condom when engaging in any activity that allows for passage of ejaculate to another person during the intervention period and for at least 90 days after the last dose of study product. 7. In good general health As determined by medical history and physical examination, including vital signs, to evaluate acute or ongoing chronic medical diagnoses/conditions that have been present for at least 90 days, which would affect the assessment of safety of participants. Chronic medical diagnoses/ conditions should be stable for the last 30 days (i.e., no hospitalizations, ER, or urgent care for condition). This includes no change in chronic prescription medication, dose, or frequency as a result of deterioration of the chronic medical diagnosis/condition in the 30 days before study vaccination Any prescription change that is due to change of health care provider, insurance company, etc., or done for financial reasons, and in the same class of medication, will not be considered a deviation of this inclusion criterion. Participants may be on chronic or as needed (prn) medications if, in the opinion of the participating site PI or appropriate sub-investigator, they pose no additional risk to participant safety or assessment of reactogenicity and immunogenicity. 8. Reported receipt of a complete primary COVID-19 vaccine series and at least one booster with last vaccination at least 16 weeks prior to study vaccine dose 1 A complete primary COVID-19 vaccine series is defined as two Pfizer or Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. Booster may be either homologous or heterologous to the primary vaccine series and must be an FDA authorized/approved vaccine though authorized/approved doses may have been received as part of a clinical trial. 9. Clinical screening laboratory evaluations are within normal reference ranges or grade 1 with no clinical significance (NCS) per investigator discretion. Ferritin, Iron, and Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC) (White Blood Cells \[WBCs\] with differential, hemoglobin \[Hgb\], platelets \[PLTs\], Alanine Transaminase \[ALT\], Aspartate Transaminase \[AST\], Creatinine \[Cr\], Alkaline Phosphatase \[ALP\], Total Bilirubin \[T. Bili\]). ALT, AST, ALP, and creatinine values that are below the reference range will not be exclusionary as long as these values below reference range are clinically insignificant. 10. Must agree to have samples stored for secondary research. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Positive SARS-CoV-2 PCR at screening. 2. Abnormal vital signs (Grade 1 or higher) at screening. Grade 1 or higher is equivalent to: Systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 141 mmHg or ≤ 89 mmHg Diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 91 mmHg Heart rate (HR) is ≥ 101 beats per minute or ≤ 50 beats per minute Oral temperature ≥ 38.0°C (100.4°F) 3. Body mass index (BMI) of \< 18 kilograms/square meter (kg/m\^2) or \> 35 kg/m\^2 (inclusive) at screening 4. History of SARS-CoV-2 infection or receipt of any COVID-19 vaccine \< 16 weeks prior to study vaccination. 5. Woman who is pregnant or breastfeeding. 6. Blood or plasma donation within 4 weeks prior to study vaccination. 7. Receipt of antibody or blood-derived products (except Rho D immunoglobulin) within 90 days prior to study vaccination. 8. Any self-reported or medically documented significant medical or psychiatric disease or condition(s) that, in the opinion of the site Principal Investigator (PI) or appropriate sub-investigator, precludes study participation. Significant medical or psychiatric conditions include but are not limited to respiratory disease (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease \[COPD\]) requiring daily medications currently, history of asthma in the past 5 years, or any treatment of exacerbation of an underlying respiratory disease in the last 5 years. Significant kidney disease, liver disease, or cardiovascular disease (e.g., congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease), including any history of myocarditis or pericarditis, or uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia. Neurological or neurodevelopmental conditions (e.g., history of Bell's palsy, history of four or more migraine headaches in the past 12 months that interfered with normal daily activity or any migraine headache in the past 5 years that required emergency or inpatient medical care, epilepsy, seizures in the last 5 years, encephalopathy, focal neurologic deficits, Guillain-Barré syndrome, encephalomyelitis, transverse myelitis, stroke or transient ischemic attack, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or Alzheimer's disease). Ongoing malignancy or recent diagnosis of malignancy in the last five years excluding treated basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, which are allowed. Any autoimmune disease, including hypothyroidism without a defined non-autoimmune cause. 9. Has an acute illness, as determined by the site PI or appropriate sub-investigator, within 72 hours prior to study vaccination. An acute illness that is nearly resolved with only minor residual symptoms remaining is allowable if, in the opinion of the site PI or appropriate subinvestigator, the residual symptoms will not interfere with the ability to assess safety parameters as required by the protocol. 10. Has known human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection at screening. 11. Has a positive test result for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C virus antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus antigen or antibody at screening. 12. Has an ongoing symptomatic condition for which there are ongoing medical investigations, but no diagnosis or treatment plan. 13. Has any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient state such as asplenia, recurrent severe infections and chronic immunosuppressant medication within the past 6 months Chronic meaning more than 14 continuous days 14.
