About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multicenter Phase 2 Study in Healthy Adults to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of Different Doses of JNJ-63871860

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability of different doses of JNJ-63871860 (ExPEC4V) in participants greater than or equal to (>=)18 years of age and to evaluate the dose-dependent immunogenicity of ExPEC as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2, double-blind (neither the researchers nor the participants know what treatment the participant is receiving), randomized (study medication assigned to participants by chance), placebo-controlled (an inactive substance; a pretend treatment [with no drug in it] that is compared in a clinical trial with a drug to test if the drug has a real effect), parallel group, multicenter (when more than one hospital work on a medical research study) study, with a single-blind, long-term follow-up to Year 3. The study will be split into 2 phases, a double-blind phase with screening (Day -12 to Day 1), Vaccination (Day 1) and Safety and Immunogenicity Follow-up (Day 1 up to Day 360), and a single-blind long-term follow-up phase thereafter until Year 3 for participants in placebo and two ExPEC4V dose groups selected based on the primary (Day 30) analysis. Participants will be stratified in 2 age groups (>=18 to less than [<] 50 years and >=50 years) and in each dosing group in each stratum randomized to a single vaccination with 1 of 5 doses of ExPEC4V or placebo. The duration of the double-blind phase (from randomization/vaccination) will be approximately 360 days for placebo participants and participants in the dose group selected based on the primary analysis, and approximately 180 days for the participants in the other groups. The duration of the single-blind long-term follow-up phase will be approximately 2 years after the double-blind phase for placebo participants and participants in the selected dose group. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants with Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs)

    Solicited AEs are precisely defined events that participants are specifically asked about and which are noted by participants through the electronic Subject Diary. Solicited Local AEs: Participants will be instructed on how to note occurrences of pain/tenderness, erythema, and induration/swelling at the injection site daily for 8 days postvaccination (day of vaccination and the subsequent 7 days) in the electronic Subject Diary. Participants will be instructed on how to measure (using the ruler supplied) and record erythema and induration.

    Measured: up to Day 8

  2. Number of Participants with Solicited Systemic AEs

    Solicited AEs are precisely defined events that participants are specifically asked about and which are noted by participants through the electronic Subject Diary. Solicited Systemic AEs: Participants will be instructed on how to note daily symptoms in the electronic Subject Diary for 8 days post vaccination (day of vaccination and the subsequent 7 days) of the following systemic events: fever, headache, fatigue, malaise, nausea, and myalgia.

    Measured: up to Day 8

  3. Number of Participants with Unsolicited AEs

    Measured: Up to Day 30

  4. Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAE's)

    An SAE is any adverse event that results in: death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, is life threatening experience, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect and may jeopardize participant and/or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed above.

    Measured: Until 360 days post vaccination

  5. Dose-dependent Immunogenicity of ExPEC4V on Day 15 (ELISA)

    Dose-dependent immunogenicity will be measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on day 15 in participants with >=18 years of age. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody levels elicited by the vaccine will be measured by ELISA.

    Measured: Day 15

  6. Long-Term Immunogenicity of ExPEC4V Dose Selected for Further Clinical Development (ELISA)

    Evaluation of the immunogenicity of a single vaccination with the ExPEC4V dose selected for further clinical development based on the primary analysis, as measured by ELISA.

    Measured: Year 2 and 3

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Dose-dependent Immunogenicity of ExPEC4V on Day 15 (Opsonophagocytic Killing [OPK] Assay)

    Dose-dependent immunogenicity will be measured by opsonophagocytic killing (OPK) assay on day 15 in participants with >=18 years of age. Specific functional antibacterial antibodies will be measured by OPK.

    Measured: Day 15

  2. Correlation Between ELISA (total antibody) and OPK (functional antibody) Serum Titers

    Measured: Day 15

  3. Dose-dependent Immunogenicity of ExPEC4V on Day 30 (ELISA)

    Dose-dependent immunogenicity will be measured by ELISA on day 30 in participants with >=18 years of age. IgG antibody levels elicited by the vaccine will be measured by ELISA.

    Measured: Day 30

  4. Immunogenicity of ExPEC4V Dose Selected for Further Clinical Development (ELISA)

    The immunogenicity of the ExPEC4V dose selected for further clinical development based on the interim analysis, as measured by ELISA will be evaluated. IgG antibody levels elicited by the vaccine will be measured by ELISA.

    Measured: Day 180 and 360

  5. Immunogenicity of ExPEC4V Dose Selected for Further Clinical Development (OPK)

    The immunogenicity of the ExPEC4V dose selected for further clinical development based on the interim analysis, as measured by OPK assay will be evaluated. Specific functional antibacterial antibodies will be measured by OPK.

    Measured: Days 30, 180, and 360

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ExPEC4V (4 : 4 : 4 : 4), ExPEC4V (4 : 4 : 4 : 8) and ExPEC4V (8 : 8 : 8 : 8) in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 17 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 5 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 22 Apr 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 17 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: up to Day 8). The study lists 6 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 NCT02546960, 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 22 Apr 2020.
