About this study

Official title: Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Dose-Finding, Phase 2 Study Assessing Safety, Tolerability, Immunogenicity of Three Dose Levels of ACAM3000 Modified Vaccinia Ankara Smallpox Vaccine in Adults With and Without Previous Smallpox Vaccination

A phase 2 study to assess the MVA smallpox vaccine in previously vaccinated and vaccine- naive subjects at three dose levels.

Read the detailed description

This study will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled out-patient study conducted in multiple centers in the United States (US). Up to 700 healthy male and female adult subjects 18 to 55 years of age (inclusive), who have been previously vaccinated or subjects who are naïve to smallpox vaccine will be enrolled. Subjects will be randomized to 1 of 8 treatment groups with 100 (or 50 placebo) subjects per group in which they will receive either ACAM3000 MVA Smallpox Vaccine (1 of 3 dose levels) or placebo on Study Days 0 and 28. All personnel associated with the trial will be blinded as to treatment, with the exception of the study pharmacist who prepares the treatment for administration to each subject. There are 2 control groups in this study. A comparison of adverse events and other safety assessments between placebo and ACAM3000 MVA Smallpox Vaccine will be performed. In addition to serving as a control for safety, the previously vaccinated subjects receiving placebo will serve as a control for antibody and T-cell responses in persons with preexisting immunity who receive ACAM3000 MVA Smallpox Vaccine. Safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity data for 110 subjects undergoing primary immunization with graded doses of ACAM3000 MVA Smallpox Vaccine will be available following completion of Acambis protocol H-249-001, an ongoing phase I clinical trial. The doses levels in this study may be changed following the availability of results from protocol H-249-001. Statistical analysis will focus on comparisons among the dose levels of ACAM3000 MVA Smallpox Vaccine and comparisons of ACAM3000 MVA Smallpox Vaccine to placebo, as appropriate. A separate analysis will be performed for previously vaccinated and naïve subjects. Descriptive statistics will be used to compare demographic and baseline clinical data between stratum.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MVA Smallpox vaccine in people with Smallpox, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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 22 Jan 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 (time frame: Study Completion). 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 22 Jan 2014.
