Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 45 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • 1. A male or female aged 18-45 years (inclusive) at the time of the first vaccination.
  • 2. Able to communicate effectively with study personnel and is considered reliable, willing, and cooperative in terms of compliance with the protocol requirements.
  • 3. Written informed consent signed prior to undertaking any protocol related procedures.
  • 4. Haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis test results not deviating from the normal reference range by age and gender to a clinically relevant extent at screening.
  • 5. Males must be surgically sterile (>30 days since vasectomy with no viable sperm), abstinent or, if engaged in sexual relations with a person of child-bearing potential, the participant and his partner must use an acceptable, highly effective, contraceptive method from screening and for a period of at least 3 months after the last dose of study drug. Acceptable methods of contraception are the use of condoms and an effective contraceptive for the female partner that could include: surgical sterilization (e.g., bilateral tubal ligation), hormonal contraception, or intrauterine contraception/device. The PI is to assess the adequacy of methods of contraception on a case-by-case basis.
  • 6. Women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP) must use highly effective contraceptive measures (failure rate of < 1% per year when used consistently and correctly) throughout the study and intend to continue use of contraception for at least 3 months following the last vaccination. Highly effective contraceptive measures could include: combined (oestrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine device, intrauterine hormone releasing system, bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomised partner, and sexual abstinence. The PI is to assess the adequacy of methods of contraception on a case-by-case basis.
  • 7. Participant in otherwise general good health based on medical history and physical examination, as determined by the PI.

Who cannot join

  • 1. Presence of clinically significant medical history, unstable chronic or acute disease, or physical, or laboratory findings that, in the opinion of the PI may potentially increase the expected risk of exposure to the investigational vaccine, compromise the safety of the participant, or interfere with any aspect of study conduct or interpretation of results.
  • 2. Body Mass Index (BMI) great than or equal to 40 at screening. 3. Significant infection or other acute illness, including fever over 37.5°C/99.5°F on the day of randomisation.
  • 4. Birthmarks, tattoos, wound or other skin conditions over the deltoid region of both arms that, in the PI's opinion, could reasonably obscure and interfere with evaluation of local injection site reactions.
  • 5. Inadequate venous access to allow collection of blood samples. 6. Breastfeeding or pregnant as confirmed by a positive serum beta human chorionic gonadotropin (.-HCG) pregnancy test at screening or positive urine pregnancy test at subsequent clinic visits at time points as delineated in the study schedule.
  • 7. Received any prophylactic or therapeutic vaccine, or investigational drug, within 3 months of first vaccination, or anticipated in the follow up period defined for this study.
  • 8. History of severe allergy (requiring hospital care), severe reaction to any drug or prior vaccination, or any known or suspected allergies or sensitivities to any component of the investigational vaccine or placebo.

Advanced Vaccine Laboratories Pty Ltd is developing a recombinant Respiratory Syncytial Virus (rRSV) vaccine for the protection of children (6 months to 5 years old) and the elderly from RSV infection. Human RSV infects nearly all children by the age of two years, and it is a leading cause of severe lower respiratory tract (LRT) disease in both paediatric and elderly populations as well as in individuals was immune system is profoundly compromised. The investigational product BARS13 has not previously been administered to human subjects. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of, and how the body reacts to, BARS13 investigational vaccine when administered in the arm to healthy adult participants aged 18 to 45 years according to a single (at Day 0) or repeat (at Day 0 and Day 30) vaccination schedule, with follow-up occurring for 60 days after the last vaccination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Respiratory Syncytial Vaccine in people with Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infections, run by Advaccine (Suzhou) Biopharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. at 1 site in Australia.

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 7 inclusion and 14 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 21 Apr 2021. 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 Australia. 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?

Incidence of systemic reactions (time frame: 7 days post vaccination). 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?
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 21 Apr 2021.
