About this study

Official title: A Phase I Dose Escalation Study to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of the SF2a-TT15 Conjugate Vaccine Against S. Flexneri 2a in Healthy Adult Volunteers

This is a first-in-human, single-center, single-blinded, observer-masked randomized, dose escalation (two doses), placebo-controlled study in healthy volunteers.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be assigned to one of two cohorts.

  1. Cohort 1 will receive the lower dose of 2 μg vaccine (with or without alum adjuvant) or matching placebo.
  2. Cohort 2 will receive the higher dose of 10 μg vaccine (with or without alum adjuvant) or matching placebo.

Eligible subjects will be randomized to receive the 2 μg dose or 10 µg without or with alum or matching placebo, at a ratio of 3:1, as three single IM injections. There will be an interval of 28(±3) days) between each treatment.

The study will be conducted in a stepwise approach in which a "Pioneer" Group of 2 subjects (one receiving the active vaccine and one receiving the matching placebo) will receive the first injection. These subjects will remain in-house for a 24-hours medical observation after the first injection (not required in the subsequent injections) Once it has been established that there are no safety concerns in the non-adjuvanted "Pioneer" Groups (and after no less than 48 hrs), the next "Pioneer" group (one subject receiving adjuvanted 2 μg vaccine and one receiving the matching alum placebo) will be injected.

If no safety concerns are raised in this group also, after no less than 48 hrs, the rest of the subjects may receive the first injection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adverse Event

    Safety: Occurrence, frequency, severity, and duration of local and systemic adverse events (AEs) including clinically significant laboratory abnormalities, after administration of the SF2a-TT15 vaccine.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immunogenicity - humoral Immune response

    Serum antibody response (IgG IgM, IgA) to S. flexneri 2a LPS, following the administration of the various vaccine doses and antibody secreting cells to S. flexneri 2a LPS, following the administration of the various vaccine doses

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing SF2a-TT15 vaccine and SF2a-TT15 vaccine + adjuvant in people with Shigellosis and Bacillary Dysentery, run by Institut Pasteur at 1 site in Israel.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Apr 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 Israel. 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?

Adverse Event (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT02797236, 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 11 Apr 2018.
