Resumen
Fecha de inicio: 1 de agosto de 2013
Fecha en la que se inscribió al primer participante.This is a single site, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-escalation, age-descending study that will start testing the vaccine in healthy adults and move subsequently into school-age children. The study is designed as 2 parts, each part comprising 3 cohorts. The cohort receiving the lowest dose in Parts A and B will receive only one administration of vaccine or placebo; the subsequent two higher dose cohorts in Parts A and B will receive three administrations of vaccine or placebo. In each cohort, the first dose and immediate safety evaluation will be conducted at the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research (icddr,b) Inpatient Unit, where the participants will be admitted for observation for 72 hours. Follow-up visits for participants in A1 and B1 will take place on an outpatient basis at the Mirpur, Bangladesh (Mirpur) Field Office. Second and third vaccinations within A2, A3, B2, and B3 cohorts and all follow-up visits will take place on an outpatient basis at the Mirpur Field Office. Before enrolling participants in subsequent cohorts to receive a higher vaccine dose, or to move to the lower age group, the safety data from the previous cohort(s) (through Study Day 7) will be evaluated and reviewed by the Internal Protocol Safety Team (IPST) comprised of the study physician, the Medical Monitor from GVK Biosciences (GVK), the principal investigator, and the Medical Monitor from PATH Vaccine Solutions (PVS). Upon completion of the last adult cohort, the Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB -an advisory body to the Ethical Review Committee) will convene to review the cumulative safety data and IPST recommendation, and determine whether to proceed to Part B (children). Adverse events (AE)s will be graded according to standardized criteria. The immunogenicity outcome measures of interest include serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies by Antibodies in Lymphocyte Supernatant (ALS) assay against S. sonnei2a lipopolysaccharide (LPS), shedding profile of WRSS1, and vaccine-specific mucosal IgA responses. The proposed study builds upon successful preliminary observations with this vaccine in the US, Israel and Thailand. While secondary objectives include studying the immunogenicity of the WRSS1 vaccine, the primary goal of the current trial is to establish a clear safety profile for the WRSS1 vaccine in adults and children 5-9 years old.The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the vaccine; the secondary objective is to evaluate vaccine immunogenicity.
