Number of Participants Who Experienced a Solicited Symptom of Reactogenicity Primary · Up to 7 days after Dose 1 (Days 1 to 8) and Dose 2 (Days 29 to 36)

Solicited symptoms of reactogenicity were predefined systemic signs and symptoms of reactogenicity for which the participant was specifically questioned, and which were noted by the participant in their daily Solicited Symptom Diary for 7 days after each vaccination, including: * fever (any temperature 100°F or higher) * headache * myalgia (muscle pain) * abdominal pain * anorexia (defined and not eating) * nausea * vomiting * diarrhea * malaise/fatigue

Number of Participants Who Experienced an Unsolicited Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) During the Active Treatment Period Primary · Day 1 to Day 57

A TEAE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention, occurring after first dose of study drug. A serious TEAE was any TEAE that met any of the following criteria: * Resulted in death. * Was life-threatening. * Required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization. * Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity. * Was a congenital anomaly/birth defect. * Was a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a m

All unsolicited TEAEs during the active treatment period were assessed by the investigator using the below scale: * Mild: Events that required minimal or no treatment and did not interfere with the participant's daily activities. * Moderate: Events that resulted in a low level of inconvenience or concern with the therapeutic measures. Moderate events may have caused some interference with functioning. * Severe: Events that interrupted a participant's usual daily activity and may have required systemic drug therapy or other treatment. Severe events were usually incapacitating. * Life Threateni

Number of Participants Who Experienced a Medically Attended Adverse Event (MAAE) During the Active Treatment Period Primary · Day 1 to Day 57

MAAEs were defined as TEAEs with medically-attended visits including hospital, emergency room, urgent care clinic, or other visits to or from medical personnel for any reason. Routine study visits were not considered medically-attended visits. New onset of chronic illness/diseases (NOCI) and adverse events of special interest (AESIs) were collected as part of the MAAEs. As defined in the protocol, adverse events for potential immune-mediated medical conditions as well as events associated with thrombosis and thrombocytopenia were considered AESIs.

Levels of SARS-CoV2-specific Immunoglobulin G Spike (IgG-S) Antibodies by Mesoscale Discovery (MSD) Assay Secondary · Day 1, Day 29 and Day 57

SARS-CoV2-specific IgG-S antibody levels were measured on specific timepoints via MSD assay. For results below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), the value was replaced with 1/2 the numeric portion of the original result rounded up to nearest integer. For results above the upper limit of quantification (ULOQ), the value was replaced with the numeric portion of the original result.

Sponsor's own description

Part 1: An open label, dose and age escalation phase to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of VXA-CoV2-1.1-S with a repeat-dose vaccination schedule in healthy adults aged 18 - 75 years old that are either vaccine naive or have received prior vaccination with an mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid) vaccine for the prevention of COVID-19. Part 2: This phase will assess the efficacy of prophylactic VXA-CoV2-1.1-S against confirmed COVID-19 occurring from 7 days after second dose with a repeat-dose vaccination schedule in healthy adults compared to placebo. Safety and immunogenicity of VXA-CoV2-1.1-S will also be evaluated in this phase.
