About this study

Official title: Safety, Clinical Tolerance, and Immunogenicity of CVD 1208S, a Delta guaBA, Delta Sen, Delta Set, Live, Oral Shigella Flexneri 2a Vaccine Manufactured Using cGMP

The purpose of this study is to determine whether CVD 1208S (a live, attenuated, oral vaccine) is safe and effective in the prevention of Shigella infection.

Read the detailed description

There are two purposes for conducting this Vaccine Study to evaluate an experimental vaccine called CVD 1208S (Center for Vaccine Development 1208S): 1) to learn whether CVD 1208S causes side effects, and 2) to learn whether the CVD 1208S gives people immunity to Shigella.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with reactions and adverse events

    occurence of diarrhea, dysentery and fever.

    Measured: Reactions are evaluated for 7 days after each dose. Adverse events are evaluated for the entire study participation (6 months for cohort 1 and 8 months for all other cohorts).

  2. Number of participants who receive the vaccine who get immunity to shigella

    It is hoped that the vaccine will trigger the body's immune system to make specific responses such as antibodies (special proteins) and antibody-producing cells that are believed to protect against illness if a person is exposed to certain illness-causing Shigella in the future.

    Measured: Immunity in the blood will be assessed using serial samples collected during the 84 days after the first vaccination. Immunity at the intestinal level will be assessed by collecting seral stool samples for 14 days after each vaccination.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of participants who pass the vaccine in their stool

    Volunteers' stool will be tested to see if the vaccine is present. This will tell whether the vaccine is able to stick to the intestine and grow there. We will see whether this information predicts the strength of the immune responses to the vaccine and whether the vaccine could potentially be passed to close contacts.

    Measured: The first 84 days after vaccination

  2. The number of participants who develop various types of immune responses

    We will look at the ability of the vaccine to evoke different types of responses in blood and stool that might protect them against Shigella infections in the future.

    Measured: The first 84 days of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CVD 1208S, a Shigella flexneri 2a live, oral vaccine in people with Shigella, run by University of Maryland, Baltimore at 2 sites 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 8 inclusion and 26 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 30 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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?

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?

Number of participants with reactions and adverse events (time frame: Reactions are evaluated for 7 days after each dose. Adverse events are evaluated for the entire study participation (6 months for cohort 1 and 8 months for all other cohorts).). 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 NCT01531530, 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 30 Apr 2021.
