What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Elstree-BNBiological

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Occurrence of a typical pock ("take") which is associated historically with protection against variola within one week after vaccination.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Occurrence, relationship and intensity of any serious adverse event at any time during the study / any non-serious adverse event within 4 weeks after vaccination.

  2. ELISA / Neutralisation assay specific seroconversion rates and geometric mean titres 2,4,12,52 and 104 weeks after vaccination.

  3. Interferone-gamma producing T cells 2,4,12,52 and 104 weeks after vaccination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Elstree-BN in people with Smallpox, run by Bavarian Nordic at 1 site in Germany.

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 10 inclusion and 34 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 21 Apr 2006. 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 Germany. 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?

Occurrence of a typical pock ("take") which is associated historically with protection against variola within one week after vaccination.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 21 Apr 2006.
