About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of Pneumococcal Protein Vaccine (PPrV) in Healthy Adults, Toddlers and Infants in Bangladesh

This is an observer-blind, randomised, vaccine-controlled, vaccine trial to determine the safety and immunogenicity of a pneumococcal protein vaccine. It will use an age step-down approach beginning with adults, then toddlers then infants, with data safety review at each stage before stepping down to the next age group. Adults and toddlers will receive the same dose of this three-protein (trivalent) vaccine (PcpA, PhtD, and PlyD1 proteins) at 50µg each. Infants will then be started at a low dose (10 µg), then medium dose (25µg) then high dose (50µg), with safety reviews at each stage before ascending to the next highest dose. Infants will also receive concomitant standard EPI childhood vaccines. Safety will be assessed by close monitoring beginning on the day of vaccination (day 0) and for the subsequent seven days, with recording of solicited and non-solicited adverse events. Immunogenicity will be assessed by specific antibody response to the three proteins. The study aims to recruit 280 study subjects across all age groups.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, single-center, randomized, placebo-controlled, step-down observer-blind study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a single injection PPrV vaccine containing 50 µg of each protein (PcpA, PhtD and PlyD1) withadjuvant in healthy adults and toddlers, and of 3 injections in healthy infants (following the Expanded Program on Immunization [EPI] schedule) at 3 ascending dose levels (all adjuvanted 10, 25, and 50µg of each protein per dose level; with an additional un-adjuvanted formulation at 25 µg of each protein per dose level).

Overall, there will be 5 Cohorts. In Cohort I, adults will receive 1 injection of adjuvanted 50 µg PcpA, PhtD and PlyD1 PPrV vaccine (high dose) or placebo.

In Cohort II, toddlers will receive 1 injection of adjuvanted 50 µg PcpA, PhtD and PlyD1 PPrV vaccine or placebo.

In Cohorts III, IV and V, infants will receive 3 injections of one of the following PPrV vaccine formulations: adjuvanted 10 µg each PcpA, PhtD and PlyD1 (low dose), adjuvanted 25 µg each PcpA, PhtD and PlyD1 (middle dose), unadjuvanted 25 µg each PcpA, PhtD and PlyD1 (middle dose un-adjuvanted), or adjuvanted 50 µg each PcpA, PhtD and PlyD1 (high dose) or placebo, according to the EPI schedule (at 6 weeks, 10 weeks and 14 weeks), as well as concomitant applicable standard of care childhood vaccines ( Quinvaxem® [DTwP-HepB-Hib] vaccine, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine (BCG) (if not received at birth), and oral poliomyelitis vaccine [OPV]).

As a safety precaution, this trial will use a step-down approach for enrollment: for adults, 1 vaccination and acceptable review of safety data collected through Day 7 after injection, followed by enrollment of toddlers, 1 vaccination and acceptable review of safety data collected through Day 7 after injection, and then enrollment of infants (3 injections, EPI schedule). For infants, step-wise dose ascension is conditional upon acceptable safety reviews, which will be conducted after completion of the third vaccination of the EPI series at each dose level, using safety data collected through Day 7 after each of the vaccinations.

An Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) will be established for safety oversight of this study, for which a formal IDMC charter will be developed. For all safety reviews, blinded safety data will be provided to the Sponsor's Safety Management Team (SMT). The review will be performed by the SMT with presentation of findings, as per standard early safety review process, to the Sponsor's Safety Management Oversight Team (SMOT) in order to assess whether proceeding to the next ascending dose level is appropriate. The results will be communicated to the IDMC after each review. A formal IDMC review is proposed following completion of the Cohort II (toddler) safety review, prior to enrollment of Cohorts III, IV, and V (infants).

The study scheme is summarized in Figure 1, and details of safety reviews are described in the periodic safety data review (SDR) section. Electronic data capture (EDC) will be used for the collection of data generated in this study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability

    We will measure solicited and unsolicited adverse events for seven days from the day of vaccination, and serious adverse events for 30 days following vaccination.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immunogenicity

    We will assess the antibody response using standard methods for each of the three proteins in the vaccine against a pre-vaccination baseline. For infants, this will be done with each of the three vaccine doses.

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pneumococcal protein vaccine in people with Adverse Effects, run by International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh at 1 site in Bangladesh.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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 10 Jul 2014. 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 Bangladesh. 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?

Safety and tolerability (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 10 Jul 2014.
