2.Subject living in the same household as that of any active COVID-19 positive individual at the time of enrolment.
3.History of receipt of any licensed vaccine within 1 month prior to screening, likely to impact on interpretation of the trial data (e.g., influenza vaccines);
4.Subjects with any clinically significant abnormal haematology and biochemical laboratory parameters tested at screening as judged by the investigator.
5.Subjects with Body temperature of ≥100.4°F (>38.0°C) or symptoms of an acute illness at the time of screening or prior to vaccination.
6.Pregnant women, nursing women or women of childbearing potential who are not actively avoiding pregnancy during the study.

Brief Summary  

This is a prospective, open-label, single arm, phase II seamlessly followed by Phase III clinical study design to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of CORBEVAX vaccine for Protection Against COVID-19 Disease When administered to COVID-19-Negative Adult Subjects between18-80 years of age.

A total of 1268 male and non-pregnant female adult, from moderate to high-risk population with and without comorbidities will be enrolled across both phases of the study. Subjects must be RT-PCR negative to SARS-CoV-2 antigen. A total of 100 subjects, aged 18 to 55 years, will be enrolled in Phase II for safety assessment and a total of 1168 subjects, aged 18 to 80 years, will be enrolled in Phase III to receive BioE’s SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (CORBEVAX).

The study will be conducted in compliance with GSR 227(E), ICH and Indian good clinical practice guidelines in force at the time of study conduct.
