Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 3 days
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Healthy infants, 19 weeks of age, with weight for age z-scores within 2 standard deviations of normal.
  • Have received all standard EPI immunizations according to national immunization programme.
  • Written informed consent by parent.
  • Mother HIV-1/2-uninfected.

Who cannot join

  • Acute disease at the time of vaccination (acute disease is defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without fever). All vaccines can be administered to persons with a minor illness such as diarrhoea, mild upper respiratory tract infection with or without low-grade febrile illness, i.e. axillary temperature of <37.5 °C ).
  • Axillary temperature of ≥ 37.5 °C at the time of vaccination.
  • Any clinically significant abnormal finding on screening from biochemistry or haematology at 19 weeks.
  • History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccine, e.g. egg products.
  • Presence of any underlying disease that compromises the diagnosis and evaluation of response to the vaccine.
  • Invasive bacterial infections (pneumonia, meningitis).
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Any other on-going chronic illness requiring hospital specialist supervision.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within one month preceding the planned administration of the vaccine candidate.
  • Any history of anaphylaxis in reaction to vaccination.
  • Research physician's assessment of lack of willingness by parents to participate and comply with all requirements of the protocol, or identification of any factor felt to significantly increase the infant's risk of suffering an adverse outcome.
  • Likelihood of travel away from the study area.
  • Untreated malaria infection.
  • Any other clinical evidence of infection.

About this study

Official title: An Open Randomized Phase I Study Evaluating Safety and Immunogenicity of a Candidate HIV-1 Vaccine, MVA.HIVA, Administered to Healthy Infants Born to HIV-1/2-uninfected Mothers

Objectives:

Safety and immunogenicity of MVA.HIVA vaccine in 20-week-old healthy Gambian infants born to HIV-1/2-uninfected mothers.

Gross impact of MVA.HIVA on the immunogenicity of EPI vaccines (DTwPHib, HepB, PCV-7 and OPV) when administered at 20 weeks (4 weeks after the last EPI vaccines), who have had BCG vaccine within the first 4 weeks of life.

What is being measured

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

  1. For safety and reactogenicity: Actively and passively collected data on adverse events

    Measured: Up to 16 weeks after vaccination

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. For immunity to EPI vaccines: Antibody levels to specific vaccines.

    Measured: 1 week before and 1 week after vaccination

  2. For immunogenicity: Frequency of IFN-γ producing cells determined in ex-vivo (effector) and 10-day cultured (memory) ELISPOT assays after overnight stimulation with pools of HIVA-derived peptides

    Measured: Up to 16 weeks after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MVA.HIVA in people with HIV-1 and HIV Infections, run by Medical Research Council at 1 site in The Gambia.

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 13 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 3 Feb 2012. 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 The Gambia. 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?

For safety and reactogenicity: Actively and passively collected data on adverse events (time frame: Up to 16 weeks after vaccination). 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 NCT00982579, 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 3 Feb 2012.
