A Study of TAK-919 in Healthy Japanese Adults (COVID-19)

TAK-919 is a vaccine in development to protect people against Covid-19. The main aims of the study are to learn if TAK-919 can protect people from Covid-19 and to check for side effects from TAK-919. At the first visit, the study doctor will check if each person can take part. Those who can take part will be chosen for 1 of 2 treatments by chance. Participants will either receive an injection of TAK-919 or a placebo in their arm. In this study, a placebo will look like the TAK-919 vaccine but will not have any medicine in it. 3 times as many participants will receive TAK-919 than placebo. Participants will receive 2 injections of TAK-919 or placebo, 28 days apart. Participants will be asked to record their temperature and any medical problems in an electronic diary for up to 7 days after each injection. During the study, participants will visit the clinic for regular check-ups, blood tests, and sometimes for nose swab samples. When all participants have visited their clinic 28 days after their 2nd injection, the study sponsor (Takeda) will check how many participants have made enough antibodies to protect them against Covid-19. The participants will stay in the study for up to 12 months after they have had their 2nd injection. During this time, the study doctors will continue to check how many participants have made enough antibodies to protect them against Covid-19. Also, they will check if participants have any more side effects from TAK-919 or the placebo.
