Show all 10Show fewer
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products since birth or planned administration during the study period.
  • Acute severe febrile illness at day of vaccination deemed by the Investigator to be a contraindication for vaccination (the child can be included at a later time if within age window and all in/exclusion criteria are met.).
  • Member of the subject's household (living in the same house or apartment unit) has received OPV in the last 3 months.
  • Subject who, in the opinion of the Investigator, is unlikely to comply with the protocol or is inappropriate to be included in the study for the safety or the benefit-risk ratio of the subject.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 4 Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of Monovalent Oral Polio Vaccine Type 2 in Healthy Children Aged 1 to 5 Years and in bOPV-IPV Vaccinated Healthy Infants

Sabin 2 will be withdrawn from routine use globally from April 2016 as per the SAGE recommendations at the time of writing this protocol. After this cessation of OPV2, stockpiles of mOPV2 will be maintained for potential use if necessary in response to a future outbreak. However, there will be a risk of cVDPV2 from Sabin 2 in settings of low population immunity. Research is ongoing to develop vaccines that are genetically more stable than the currently available Sabin 2-containing OPVs. To generate data on immunogenicity, safety, and genetic stability on the Sabin 2 vaccine (mOPV2) and as a future comparator for new polio vaccine research after the global switch from tOPV to bOPV, this study with mOPV2 is performed to evaluate safety, immunogenicity (humoral and intestinal) and genetic stability endpoints of mOPV2 in children aged 1 to 5 years and in infants approximately 18 weeks of aged vaccinated with bOPV-/IPV for better understanding of the stockpile use of this vaccine, and for comparison with any potential new polio vaccine with a type 2 component in the future.

Read the detailed description
  1. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE The primary objectives of the study are to assess the safety (serious adverse events [SAEs] and severe adverse events [AEs] grade 3 according to CTCAE 4.03 and immunogenicity (seroprotection rate) of a single dose of SABIN mOPV2 in healthy children aged 1 to 5 years old, and in infants at approximately 18 weeks of age after having been vaccinated with 3 doses of bOPV and 1 dose of IPV .
  2. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES Secondary objectives are to assess:
  • The safety (mild and moderate solicited and unsolicited AEs, Important Medical Events [IMEs], and laboratory deviation assessments) of one or two doses of SABIN mOPV2 in healthy children aged 1 to 5 years, and of 2 doses of SABIN mOPV2 in infants at approximately 18 and 22 weeks of age after having been vaccinated with 3 doses of bOPV and 1 dose of IPV.
  • The immunogenicity (seroconversion rate, median and geometric mean antibody titers) of one or two doses of SABIN mOPV2 in healthy children aged 1 to 5 years old, and of two doses of SABIN mOPV2 in infants at approximately 18 22 weeks of age after having been vaccinated with 3 doses of bOPV and 1 dose of IPV.
  1. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES

Exploratory objectives are:

  • To investigate viral shedding following the SABIN mOPV2 administration.
  • Exploratory objectives may also include assessment of the genetic sequence heterogeneity and potential for neurovirulence (as measured in animal model(s)) of shed virus.
  • To investigate viral shedding and neurovirulence of shed virus;
  • To evaluate genetic reversion at position nt481 (primarily) and other secondary sites (e.g., nt2908).
  • To investigate the priming responses of bOPV for mOPV2. (group 2 only) and the duration of induction of anti-polio type 2 neutralizing antibodies .
Being tested
SABIN monovalent OPV2

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • SABIN monovalent OPV2Biological

    Also called Polio Sabin™ Mono Two (oral)

    SABIN monovalent OPV2 is a licensed, monovalent, live attenuated poliomyelitis virus vaccine of the Sabin strain Type 2 (P 712, Ch, 2ab), propagated in MRC5 human diploid cells. Each two-drop dose (0.1 mL) contains not less than 105.0 CCID50 of Type 2

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects Experiencing SAEs, Severe AEs (Grade 3), and/or IMEs

    Number of subjects experiencing SAEs, severe AEs (grade 3), and IMEs considered consistent with a causal association to study vaccine throughout the study period in all groups.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Seroprotection Rate of Type 2 Polio Neutralizing Antibodies.

    Measured at Day 28 following a single dose of Sabin mOPV2 in both infant groups (Groups 2+3).

    Seroprotection is defined as type 2-specific antibody titers ≥1:8 and seroprotection rate as the percentage of seroprotected subjects per group.

    Measured: 28 days

A Phase 4 study testing SABIN monovalent OPV2 in people with Adverse Event Following Immunisation, run by Fidec Corporation.

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 4 inclusion and 10 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 14 Aug 2020. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 14 Aug 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 Subjects Experiencing SAEs, Severe AEs (Grade 3), and/or IMEs (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT02521974, which also lists 3 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 14 Aug 2020.
