A Study to Determine the Safety and Immunogenicity of Bivalent GI.1 and GII.4 Vaccines in Healthy Volunteers
A Phase 2, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Single Dose, Dose-ranging Study to Determine the Safety and Immunogenicity of Bivalent GI.1 and GII.4 Vaccine Administered Orally to Healthy Volunteers Aged Greater Than or Equal to 18 Years and Less Than or Equal to 80 Years Old.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two monovalent Norovirus (NoV) oral tableted vaccine candidates, VXA-G1.1-NN and VXA-GII.4-NS co-administered (bivalent delivery) against a matching placebo arm. Bivalent GI.1 and GII.4 vaccines are being investigated for the prevention of noroviral gastroenteritis caused by norovirus GI.1 and GII.4.

Study Timeline
Dates and qualifiers reported by the registry. Estimated dates do not confirm that a milestone has occurred.
Number of Participants With Solicited Symptoms of Reactogenicity (Gastrointestinal [GI] and Systemic)
Solicited adverse events (AEs) are predefined signs and symptoms of reactogenicity for which the participants were specifically questioned, and which were noted by the participant in their Solicited Symptom Diary for 7 days after drug administration, including:
* fever (any temperature 100.4°F or higher)
* headache
* myalgia (muscle pain)
* abdominal pain
* anorexia (defined as not eating)
* nausea
* vomiting
* diarrhoea
* malaise/fatigue.
The severity of each solicited symptoms of reactogenicity was graded by the participant as mild, moderate, severe or life-threatening. Participants with multiple Solicited AEs were only counted once in summarizing overall percentages of Solicited AEs, the highest severity of which was used.
Up to Day 8
Number of Participants With Unsolicited AEs
Treatment emergent AEs (TEAEs) are defined as AEs that occurred following the first administration of study medication. An unsolicited AE is an observed AE that did not fulfill the conditions prelisted in terms of diagnosis and/or onset window post-vaccination.
The severity of each AE was graded by the participant as mild, moderate or severe/ life-threatening.
