A Phase 1/2 interventional study of GX-19N and Placebo in SARS-CoV-2, sponsored by Genexine, Inc.. Completed at 5 sites in South Korea. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 55 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-08-20.
Sponsored by Genexine, Inc. · Phase 1/2, Interventional, and Prevention
The objective of our study is to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of COVID-19 preventive DNA vaccine in healthy volunteers.
This clinical study is phase 1/2a clinical trial to evaluate safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of COVID-19 preventive vaccine by intramuscularly administration in healthy volunteers.
Phase 1 of this study is designed as single arm, open-labeled and a total of 20 subjects will be enrolled. Phase 2a of study is designed as randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled and a total of 150 subjects are planned to be enrolled.
Genexine, Inc. is the lead sponsor of 36 studies on the registry; 1 is open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
