Brief Summary:
This is a Phase 1/2, randomized, observer-blind study in healthy adults. The study will evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of 3 SARS-CoV-2 self-amplifying RNA vaccine candidates against COVID-19 in adults previously vaccinated and not previously vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
COVID-19 SARS-CoV-2 Infection Corona Virus Infection Biological: ARCT-165 Biological: ARCT-154 Biological: ARCT-021 Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The study will initially enroll approximately 72 adult participants into 2 cohorts and may expand enrollment up to 144 participants if additional cohorts are added.

The first cohort (Cohort A) will include a total of 36 adult participants ≥21 to ≤65 years of age who have not been previously vaccinated with a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Study vaccines will be given as 2 doses separated by 28 days.

The second cohort (Cohort B) will include a total of 36 adult participants ≥21 to ≤65 years of age who have been previously vaccinated (5 months or longer prior to study enrollment) with SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Study vaccines will be given as single doses.

Additional cohorts may increase the age range of participants up to 80 years of age.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of participants reporting solicited local or systemic adverse events [ Time Frame: For 7 days following each study vaccination ]
    Solicited adverse events reported daily in a diary that reflect generalized symptoms or findings at the injection site following each vaccination

  2. Percentage of participants reporting unsolicited adverse events [ Time Frame: For 28 days following each study vaccination ]
    Spontaneously reported adverse events

  3. Percentage of participants reporting medically attended adverse events [ Time Frame: Through Final Visit (365 days after last study vaccine dose) ]
    Medically attended adverse event is an AE that leads to an unscheduled visit with a health care provider

  4. Percentage of participants reporting adverse events leading to discontinuation from study vaccine/study withdrawal [ Time Frame: Through Final Visit (365 days after last study vaccine dose) ]
    Unsolicited adverse events that meet stopping rules

  5. Percentage of participants reporting serious adverse events [ Time Frame: Through Final Visit (365 days after last study vaccine dose) ]
    Unsolicited adverse events that meet the definition of serious

  6. SARS-CoV-2 serum neutralizing antibody levels, expressed as GMTs [ Time Frame: Through Final Visit (365 days after last study vaccine dose) ]
    Neutralizing antibody response

  7. Changes in SARS-CoV-2 serum neutralizing levels from before vaccination to each subsequent time point, expressed as GMFRs [ Time Frame: Through Final Visit (365 days after last study vaccine dose) ]
    Neutralizing antibody response

  8. Percentages of participants achieving greater than or equal to 4-fold rise from before vaccination in SARS-CoV-2 serum neutralizing antibody levels [ Time Frame: Through Final Visit (365 days after last study vaccine dose) ]
    Neutralizing antibody response

  9. GMT ratio (ARCT-021/ARCT-165, ARCT-165/ARCT-154, and ARCT-021/ARCT-154) [ Time Frame: Through Final Visit (365 days after last study vaccine dose) ]
    Neutralizing antibody response

  10. SARS-CoV-2 full-length spike, RBD, and N binding antibody levels, expressed as GMCs [ Time Frame: Through Final Visit (365 days after last study vaccine dose) ]
    Binding antibody response

  11. Changes in SARS-CoV-2 full-length spike, RBD, and N binding antibody levels from before vaccination to each subsequent time point, expressed as GMFRs [ Time Frame: Through Final Visit (365 days after last study vaccine dose) ]
    Binding antibody response

  12. Percentages of participants achieving greater than or equal to 4-fold rise from before vaccination in SARS-CoV-2 full-length spike, RBD, and N binding antibody levels [ Time Frame: Through Final Visit (365 days after last study vaccine dose) ]
