About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of a Prophylactic Cytomegalovirus Plasmid DNA Vaccine in Healthy Adults

If the participant decides to take part in the study, the participant will need to do the following:

Visit the study clinic up to 10 times and be available for a reasonable amount of follow up phone calls to see how the participant is doing.

Read more

The participant will receive three doses of vaccine injected into the muscle of the upper arm. After each injection the participant will be asked to remain at the study site for at least 30 minutes after the participant receives the study vaccine.

The results of all of the participants blood tests, just like all other laboratory test results, will be provided to the Investigators, Sponsor, and vaccine developer. Positive HIV and viral hepatitis test results will be reportable to local health authorities according to local laws.

The participant will be asked to refrain from excessive physical activities and alcohol consumption within 2 days before each clinic visit to avoid possible confusing effects on laboratory tests.

Read the detailed description

Up to 10 normal healthy adult female subjects 18 to 35 years of age will be enrolled in this trial. A total of 3 injections of the vaccine will be given at Days 0, 28 (+4 days), and 56 (+4 days). There are follow-up visits 7 days after each vaccination, one follow-up visit 28 days after the 3rd (last) vaccination, and a final visit 3 months later. Blood and urine samples will be collected at each vaccination and follow-up visit. The participant will be asked to complete a telephone call follow-up at 1 year after receiving the last vaccination.

Participants will be required to complete subject diary cards throughout the study until the telephone call follow-up at approximately Day 420 (i.e., 12 months following the 3rd and final dose scheduled for Day 56). Diary cards will be reviewed with the study staff at each visit and during the Day 420 telephone call.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CyMVectin in people with Congenital Cytomegalovirus Infection, run by Virginia Commonwealth University.

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 9 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 2018. 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 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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-related adverse events (time frame: Up to Day 182). 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?
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 1 Mar 2018.
