  • Evidence of a chronic medical condition identified during physical exam.
  • A diagnosis or suspicion of immunodeficiency disorder either in the infant or in an immediate family member.
  • A diagnosis or suspicion of bleeding disorder that would contraindicate parenteral administration of IPV or collection of blood by venipuncture.
  • Acute diarrhea, infection or illness at the time of enrollment (6 weeks of age) that would require infant's admission to a hospital or would contraindicate provision of OPV or IPV per country guidelines.

  • Receipt of any polio vaccine (OPV or IPV) before enrollment based upon documentation or parental recall.
  • Known allergy/sensitivity or reaction to polio vaccine or contents of polio vaccine.

About this study

Official title: Assessing Immunogenicity of Type 2 Monovalent Oral Poliovirus Vaccine Administered at One, Two or Four Week Intervals and When Coadministered With Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine in an Urban Area in Bangladesh

This is an open-label phase IV, randomized controlled trial of mOPV2 alone and mOPV2 along with IPV. This trial will assess the impact on type 2 immunogenicity by reducing the interval between mOPV2 doses. The trial will also evaluate any difference in immunogenicity when the first dose of mOPV2, in a two dose schedule with a four week interval, is administered simultaneously with IPV.

Read the detailed description

The Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization (SAGE) has recommended a phased cessation of OPVs starting with serotype 2 (OPV2). This is because the last case of type 2 wild poliovirus (WPV2) was reported in 1999 and type 2 vaccine poliovirus is associated with the highest risk of causing paralysis due to reversion to vaccine derived poliovirus (VDPV), in which the reverted virus acquires not only the ability to cause paralysis but also the ability to transmit from person-to-person. Withdrawal of OPV2 will be done through the replacement worldwide of trivalent OPV (tOPV) with bivalent (types 1 and 3) OPV (bOPV) for use in routine immunization and in campaigns.

After the tOPV to bOPV switch, there will be strict biosafety requirements for the use of vaccines containing OPV2. Trivalent OPV will no longer exist and use of monovalent OPV2 (mOPV2) will be limited to responding to a type 2 outbreak. To respond to poliovirus type 2 outbreaks, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative has proposed delivering using mOPV2 in campaigns conducted in the primary zone of the outbreak and IPV in campaigns conducted in areas adjacent to outbreak zone. Therefore, mOPV2 will be a critical component of response to poliovirus type 2 outbreaks.

Typically, polio campaigns are conducted at an interval of 4 weeks. Recently, a clinical trial conducted by icddr,b and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Matlab and Mirpur in Bangladesh demonstrated non-inferiority of type 1 seroconversion after bOPV or mOPV1 at a 2 week interval compared to 4 weeks between doses. Based these findings, the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) concluded that the immune response to "OPV is satisfactory when the interval between doses is shortened to 14 or even 7 days (in case of mOPV1)" and has used short-interval campaigns to deliver mOPV1 and bOPV in areas with security-limited access and for outbreak response. However, there are no data and no current or planned polio clinical trials are assessing the impact on immunogenicity of mOPV2 of a reduction in the interval between mOPV2 doses or of administration of mOPV2 in combination with IPV. Therefore, the findings from the trial proposed in this protocol have a direct and immediate implication on strategies to respond to type 2 polio outbreaks.

Field site: The study will be carried out in urban slums in Mirpur and Mohakahli in Dhaka.

What is being measured

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

  1. Assessment of type 2 immunogenicity

    To assess type 2 immunogenicity seroconversion will be determined in each study arm. Seroconversion will be defined as either a four-fold increase from the titer predicted after accounting for the expected decline in maternal antibodies, assuming a half-life of 28 days, or a seronegative participant (<1:8 titers) who becomes seropositive (≥1:8). The antibody titers at 6 weeks of age will be assumed to be the starting point for the expected decline in maternal antibody. The endpoint titer assessment will be 4 weeks after completing study vaccination schedule.

    Measured: The antibody titers 4 weeks after completing the vaccination schedule compared to that at 6 weeks of age.

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 3 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 25 Jan 2018. 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. 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?

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?

Assessment of type 2 immunogenicity (time frame: The antibody titers 4 weeks after completing the vaccination schedule compared to that at 6 weeks of age.). 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 NCT02643368, 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 25 Jan 2018.
