About this study

Official title: Phase 1b Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of NDV-3 Formulated With or Without Alum (AlOH) and Administered Either Intramuscular (IM) or Intradermally (ID) to Healthy Adults

This partially-blind, placebo controlled study is a Phase 1b study using an investigational vaccine, NDV-3, directed against Staphylococcus aureus and Candida sp. This study will compare NDV-3 administered with or without alum delivered intramuscularly (IM) at one dose level. It will also evaluate a lower dose of NDV-3 without alum delivered intradermally (ID) compared to placebo delivered ID.

Read the detailed description

Preclinical studies in mice have established that several members of the Als family of proteins induce a protective immune response in mice and allow high survival rates following challenge with highly virulent doses of either Candida or S. aureus. Als3 (the antigen in the NDV-3 investigational vaccine) is the most effective member of the Als protein family in protecting mice from challenge with either Candida or S. aureus. The first Phase 1 study enrolled 40 healthy subjects that received placebo (N=10), 1 dose (N=30) or 2 doses (N=19) of the NDV-3 vaccine administered intramuscularly (IM). The vaccine was well tolerated and highly immunogenic. This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of one dose of NDV-3 vaccine formulated with and without alum given IM and also a lower dose without alum given intradermally (ID). Subjects will have follow-up visits to assess the safety tolerability and immune responses at selected time points up to 90 days post-vaccination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events

    The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of a single dose of NDV-3 vaccine, administered either IM with or without alum adjuvant at one dose level or ID at a lower dose level, compared to placebo. Clinical evaluations will be assessed on each subject at selected time points up to 90 days post-vaccination.

    Measured: Up to 90 days post-vaccination

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Immunogenicity - Serum Anti-Als3 IgG

    A secondary objective is to compare the serum IgG immune response between the 2 dose levels, routes of administration, and effects of alum adjuvant, at selected time points up to 90 days post-vaccination. Serum IgG will be evaluated by ELISA on serial-diluted samples, resulting in titer values of reciprocal dilution at which the ELISA readout is three times greater than the assay background value.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 90/Exit

  2. Immunogenicity - Serum Anti-Als3 IgA1

    A secondary objective is to compare the serum IgA1 immune response between the 2 dose levels, routes of administration, and effects of alum adjuvant, at selected time points up to 90 days post-vaccination. Serum IgA1 will be evaluated by ELISA on serial-diluted samples, resulting in titer values of reciprocal dilution at which the ELISA readout is three times greater than the assay background value.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 90/Exit

  3. Immunogenicity - Cervicovaginal Wash Anti-Als3 IgG

    A secondary objective is to compare the cervicovaginal wash IgG immune response between the 2 dose levels, routes of administration, and effects of alum adjuvant, at selected time points up to 90 days post-vaccination. Cervicovaginal wash IgG will be evaluated by ELISA on serial-diluted samples, resulting in titer values of reciprocal dilution at which the ELISA readout is three times greater than the assay background value.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 90/Exit

  4. Immunogenicity - Cervicovaginal Wash Anti-Als3 IgA1

    A secondary objective is to compare the cervicovaginal wash IgA1 immune response between the 2 dose levels, routes of administration, and effects of alum adjuvant, at selected time points up to 90 days post-vaccination. Cervicovaginal wash IgA1 will be evaluated by ELISA on serial-diluted samples, resulting in titer values of reciprocal dilution at which the ELISA readout is three times greater than the assay background value.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 90/Exit

  5. Immunogenicity - Number of Participants Positive for Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) Producing Als3-specific Interferon-gamma (IFN-g)

    A secondary objective is to compare the cellular immune response for Als3-specific production of IFN-g from PBMCs between the 2 dose levels, routes of administration, and effects of alum adjuvant, at selected time points up to 90 days post-vaccination. The IFN-g cellular immune responses will be evaluated by ELISpot using approximately 200,000 PBMCs per well. A positive response was defined as a sample with greater than 20 spot forming units per 10^6 PBMCs.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 90/Exit

  6. Immunogenicity - Number of Participants Positive for Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) Producing Als3-specific Interleukin-17A (IL-17A)

    A secondary objective is to compare the cellular immune response for Als3-specific production of IL-17A from PBMCs between the 2 dose levels, routes of administration, and effects of alum adjuvant, at selected time points up to 90 days post-vaccination. The IL-17A cellular immune responses will be evaluated by ELISpot using approximately 200,000 PBMCs per well. A positive response was defined as a sample with greater than 20 spot forming units per 10^6 PBMCs.

    Measured: Baseline, Day 7, Day 14, Day 28, Day 90/Exit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NDV-3 vaccine with alum IM, NDV-3 vaccine without alum IM and NDV-3 vaccine without alum ID in people with Staphylococcal Infections and Yeast Infections, run by NovaDigm Therapeutics, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 9 inclusion and 20 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 4 Mar 2020. 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 United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Mar 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (time frame: Up to 90 days post-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 NCT01447407, 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 4 Mar 2020.
