About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity Study of an Intranasal Shigella Flexneri 2a Invaplex 50 Vaccine

The vaccine is given as a nose spray. Volunteers will receive a 3-dose vaccination with doses spaced two weeks apart. Volunteers will be assigned to a vaccination group based on their order of enrollment with consideration of their availability to complete the necessary vaccinations and follow-up visits.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-labeled dose escalating trial in which a total of 32 subjects (minimum of 24 allowable) will receive one of four intranasal Invaplex 50 vaccine doses according to the following chart:

Test articles/dose

Group / N* / Invaplex 50

A / 8 / 10 micrograms

B / 8 / 50 micrograms

C / 8 / 240 micrograms

D / 8 / 480 micrograms

*minimum of 6 volunteers/group

An interval no less than 7 days following the third (and final) dose (total of 35 days between initial dose at the lower dose level and the next initial dose at the next higher dose level) will separate volunteer groups receiving different doses. All volunteers will receive three immunizations. The first dosing time point is Day 0, the second is Day 14 (+- one day), and the third is Day 28 (+- 2 days). Blood and stool specimens will be collected at intervals to examine systemic and mucosal vaccine antigen-specific immune responses. Vaccine safety will be actively monitored during vaccination and for 28 days following the third vaccination dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Shigella flexneri 2a Invaplex 50 in people with Diarrhea, run by U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00082069, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Apr 2015.
