About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study to Determine the Safety, Infectivity, Immunogenicity and Tolerability of 2 Doses of Live Attenuated Recombinant Cold-passaged (cp) 45 Human Parainfluenza Type 3 Virus Vaccine, rHPIV3cp45, Lot PIV3#102A, Delivered as Nose Drops to HPIV3-Seronegative Infants and Children 6 to 36 Months of Age, at a 6 Month Interval

Human parainfluenza virus type 3 (HPIV3) is a major cause of pneumonia and other respiratory diseases in infants and children. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response of an HPIV3 vaccine in infants and young children.

Read the detailed description

Human parainfluenza viruses can cause serious respiratory tract disease in infants and children under 5 years of age, and approximately 25% of children under 5 years of age have experienced a clinically significant parainfluenza virus infection. HPIV3, one of the four types of the parainfluenza virus, can cause pneumonia, bronchiolitis, croup, and bronchitis, and virtually all children have experienced primary HPIV3 infections by the time they are 3 to 4 years of age. In the United States, HPIV3 is responsible for approximately 11% of hospitalizations for respiratory diseases in children. Because HPIV3-associated lower respiratory illness typically occurs in the first year of life, the need exists for an HPIV3 vaccine that is safe and effective in infants. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two doses of a live attenuated HPIV3 vaccine in infants and young children.

This study will enroll healthy, HPIV3 seronegative infants and children 6 months to 36 months of age. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the HPIV3 vaccine or a placebo vaccine. At a baseline study visit, all participants will undergo a medical history review, physical examination, vital sign measurements, and a nasal wash procedure. They will then receive their assigned vaccine in the form of nose drops. Participants will remain in the study clinic for 30 minutes after the vaccination for monitoring. Participants' parents will receive a thermometer and will record participants' temperature for 18 days after the vaccination. Study staff will call participants' parents on Days 1-18, 84, 112, and 140 to monitor participants' temperature and medical status. Study visits will occur 3, 6, 12, and 56 days after the vaccination, and participants will undergo similar tests and procedures as at the vaccination visit; a blood collection will also occur at Day 56. Six months after the first vaccination, all participants will return to the clinic and receive the second vaccination. All study procedures and study visits that followed the first vaccination will be repeated, and participants' last follow-up visit will occur 31 days after the second vaccination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of vaccine-related reactogenicity events that occur during the acute monitoring phase of the study

    Measured: Measured at Days 0-18 after each vaccination

  2. Proportion of participants that develop 4-fold or greater rises in hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) antibody titer following 2 doses of vaccine

    Measured: Measured through 31 days after the second vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing rHPIV3cp45 Vaccine in people with Parainfluenza Virus 3, Human, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 8 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 19 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 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States, Puerto Rico. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Frequency of vaccine-related reactogenicity events that occur during the acute monitoring phase of the study (time frame: Measured at Days 0-18 after each vaccination). The study lists 2 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 NCT01254175, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 Dec 2014.
