What is being measured

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

  1. Safety on Physical examination , and Laboratory safety tests of hematology clinical chemistry

    Measured: 12 visits in a total of 224 days duratiion from the day of first vaccinantion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immunogenicity assessment by: A.Detection of IFN gama production after stimulation with Ag85B, ESAT-6 and H1. B.Detection of IgG antibodies to recombinant proteins Ag85B, ESAT-6 and H1 in serum/plasma.

    Measured: 12 visits in a total of 224 days duratiion from the day of first vaccinantion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Antigen (Ag85B-ESAT-6) and Antigen (Ag85B-ESAT-6) with adjuvant (IC31) in people with Tuberculosis, run by Statens Serum Institut.

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 8 inclusion and 7 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 17 Apr 2015. 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 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 on Physical examination , and Laboratory safety tests of hematology clinical chemistry (time frame: 12 visits in a total of 224 days duratiion from the day of first vaccinantion). 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 NCT01049282, 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 17 Apr 2015.
