About this study

Official title: A Phase 4 Study to Assess the Safety and Immunogenicity of VAXCHORA (Cholera Vaccine, Live, Oral) in Children 2 to <18 Years of Age

VAXCHORA (Cholera Vaccine, Live, Oral) is a vaccine indicated for active immunization against disease caused by Vibrio cholerae serogroup O1. VAXCHORA is approved for use in adults 18 through 64 years of age travelling to cholera-affected areas. The primary goals of this Phase 4 study are to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a single dose of VAXCHORA (1 x 10e9 cfu/dose) in children ages 2 years to <18 years of age in developed countries.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cohort 1 (12-17 Yrs) Primary Endpoint - Seroconversion of Serum Vibriocidal Antibody Against V. Cholerae

    The proportion of subjects achieving seroconversion of serum vibriocidal antibody (SVA) against the classical Inaba biotype of V. cholerae at Day 11 following one dose of VAXCHORA, defined as a 4-fold or greater rise over baseline Day 1 SVA titer

    Measured: Day 11

  2. Cohort 2 (6 to <12 Years) Primary Endpoint - Seroconversion of Serum Vibriocidal Antibody Against V. Cholerae

    The proportion of subjects achieving seroconversion of serum vibriocidal antibody (SVA) against the classical Inaba biotype of V. cholerae at Day 11 following one dose of VAXCHORA, defined as a 4-fold or greater rise over baseline Day 1 SVA titer.

    Measured: Day 11

  3. Cohort 3 (2 to <6 Years) Primary Endpoint - Seroconversion of Serum Vibriocidal Antibody Against V. Cholerae

    The proportion of subjects achieving seroconversion of serum vibriocidal antibody (SVA) against the classical Inaba biotype of V. cholerae at Day 11 following one dose of VAXCHORA, defined as a 4-fold or greater rise over baseline Day 1 SVA titer.

    Measured: Day 11

  4. Cohort 1 (12-17 Yrs) Primary Endpoint - Non-inferiority of Seroconversion Rate at Day 11 Relative to Adults Aged 18 - 45 Years

    The seroconversion rate is defined as the percentage of subjects with a 4-fold or greater rise over baseline Day 1 Serum Vibriocidal Antibody (SVA) titer against the classical Inaba biotype of V. cholerae at Day 11 following one dose of Vaxchora vaccine. The hypothesis was that the pediatric seroconversion rate would be non-inferior to the seroconversion rate at Day 11 in adults between the ages of 18 and 45 years.

    Measured: Day 11

  5. Cohort 2 (6-11 Yrs) Primary Endpoint - Non-inferiority of Seroconversion Rate at Day 11 Relative to Adults Aged 18 - 45 Years

    The seroconversion rate is defined as the percentage of subjects with a 4-fold or greater rise over baseline Day 1 Serum Vibriocidal Antibody (SVA) titer against the classical Inaba biotype of V. cholerae at Day 11 following one dose of Vaxchora vaccine. The hypothesis was that the pediatric seroconversion rate would be non-inferior to the seroconversion rate at Day 11 in adults between the ages of 18 and 45 years.

    Measured: Day 11

  6. Cohort 3 (2-5 Yrs) Primary Endpoint - Non-inferiority of Seroconversion Rate at Day 11 Relative to Adults Aged 18 - 45 Years

    The seroconversion rate is defined as the percentage of subjects with a 4-fold or greater rise over baseline Day 1 Serum Vibriocidal Antibody (SVA) titer against the classical Inaba biotype of V. cholerae at Day 11 following one dose of Vaxchora vaccine. The hypothesis was that the pediatric seroconversion rate would be non-inferior to the seroconversion rate at Day 11 in adults between the ages of18 and 45 years.

    Measured: Day 11

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing VAXCHORA (Cholera Vaccine, Live, Oral) in people with Cholera (Disorder), run by Bavarian Nordic at 10 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 6 inclusion and 16 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 28 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 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 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 19 Nov 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?

Cohort 1 (12-17 Yrs) Primary Endpoint - Seroconversion of Serum Vibriocidal Antibody Against V. Cholerae (time frame: Day 11). 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 NCT03220737, 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 28 Jun 2023.
