A Study on the Safety, Tolerability and Immune Response of SARS-CoV-2 Sclamp (COVID-19) Vaccine in Healthy Adults

Inclusion Criteria:

- Healthy male or non-pregnant female, ≥18 and ≤55 years of age, with BMI >18 and <34.0
kg/m2 and body weight ≥50.0 kg for males and ≥45.0 kg for females (Part 1); Healthy
male or non-pregnant female, ≥56 years of age, with BMI >18 and <34.0 kg/m2 and body
weight ≥50.0 kg for males and ≥45.0 kg for females (Part 2)

- Healthy as defined by:

1. The absence of clinically significant illness and surgery within 28 days prior to
dosing. Subjects displaying signs or symptoms of an acute and/or febrile illness
within 24 hours pre-dose (with at least 3 symptom-free pre-dose days required)
will be carefully evaluated for upcoming illness/disease. Inclusion pre-dosing is
at the discretion of the Investigator, and the subject may have their scheduled
dosing postponed until the condition resolves.

2. The absence of clinically significant history of neurological, endocrine,
cardiovascular, respiratory, haematological, immunological, psychiatric,
gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, and metabolic disease (Part 1); b. The absence
of clinically significant history of a pre-existing medical condition that is not
stable (neurological, endocrine, cardiovascular, respiratory, haematological,
immunological, psychiatric, gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, and metabolic
disease). A stable medical condition is defined as disease not requiring
significant change in therapy or hospitalization for worsening disease during the
3 months before enrolment (Part 2)

- Non-smokers or social smokers (defined as the equivalent of fewer than 10 cigarettes
per week). Ex-heavy smokers (heavy smoking defined as the equivalent of 25 or more
cigarettes per day) may be admitted if they have quit, or reduced their cigarette
intake to the defined level of social smoking, for a period of at least 12 months.

- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) or men whose sexual partners are WOCBP must be
able and willing to use at least 2 highly effective methods of contraception
commencing at enrolment, during the study and for 3 months after last treatment
administration. A female subject is considered to be a WOCBP following menarche and
until she is in a postmenopausal state for 12 consecutive months (without an
alternative medical cause) or otherwise permanently sterile (for which acceptable
methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy). A
follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test may be used to confirm post-menopausal state.
Examples of acceptable methods of contraceptive methods (for female subjects) to be
used throughout the study include:

1. Simultaneous use of hormonal contraceptives, started at least 28 days prior to
first study treatment administration and must agree to use the same hormonal
contraceptive throughout the study, and condom for the male partner;

2. Simultaneous use of intra-uterine contraceptive device, placed at least 28 days
prior to first study treatment administration, and condom for the male partner;

3. Simultaneous use of diaphragm or cervical cap and male condom for the male
partner, started at least 28 days prior to first study treatment administration;

4. Sterile male partner (vasectomized since at least 6 months prior to first study
treatment administration);

5. True abstinence, defined as no sexual intercourse with a male partner, (for
heterosexual couples) for at least 28 days prior to first study treatment
administration and for at least the duration of the study. Periodic abstinence
and withdrawal are not acceptable methods.

- WOCBP must have a negative urine pregnancy test prior to receiving each dose.

- Male subjects (including men who have had a vasectomy) with a pregnant partner, a
female partner not of childbearing potential, or a same sex partner, must agree to use
a condom from the first study treatment administration until at least 90 days after
the last study treatment administration.

- Male subjects must be willing not to donate sperm until 90 days following the last
study treatment administration.

- Must be able to attend all visits for the duration of the study and to comply with all
study procedures according to the study schedule.

- Capable of, and have given, written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Any clinically significant abnormality or vital sign abnormality at physical
examination (including baseline high blood pressure [140/90] after 3 repeated
measurements or high random blood sugar [non-fasting]), clinically significant
abnormal laboratory test results or positive test for HIV, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C
found during medical screening (Part 1); Any clinically significant abnormality or
vital sign abnormality at physical examination, or uncontrolled hypertension in adults
aged ≥ 56 years and older ,or high random blood sugar [non-fasting]), clinically
significant abnormal laboratory test results or positive test for HIV, hepatitis B, or
hepatitis C found during medical screening (Part 2).

- Any acute or chronic ongoing illness which, in the judgement of the investigator, may
preclude the subject's participation.

- Any subject that has an active COVID-19 infection (positive COVID-19 test:
nasal/oropharyngeal swab and/or positive serum antibody response) at screening, or Day
1, or has been in close contact with someone who has an active COVID-19 infection, or
has recovered from a previous COVID-19, SARS-CoV-1, or MERS infection.

limited to, HIV, autoimmune disorders, immunosuppressant therapy, and diabetes
