About this study
Official title: A Phase 1/2a, Randomized, Observer-blind, Age-descending, Dose Finding Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of Institut Pasteur Quadrivalent Shigella Vaccine (IP-QSV) for Intramuscular Administration in Healthy Adults/Adolescents, Children and Infants
The goal of this phase 1/2a, randomized, observer-blind, age-descending, dose-finding trial is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a quadrivalent synthetic oligosaccharide-based Shigella vaccine (adjuvanted IP-QSV) in adults, children, and infants in Mali. This first-in-human study is intended to obtain initial data on the safety of the adjuvanted IP-QSV vaccine and its effect on immune responses in a Shigella-endemic region.
Read the detailed description
this is phase 1/2a, randomized, observer-blind, age-descending, dose-finding trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a quadrivalent synthetic oligosaccharide-based Shigella vaccine (adjuvanted IP-QSV) in adults, children, and infants in Mali
A total of 370 healthy participants aged 6 months to 45 years in Mali will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 2:1 or 2:2:1 ratio. The study groups are as follow
- Group A (18-45 years): one dose of 30 µg IP / placebo in a 2:1 ratio
- Group B (2-5 years): two doses of 10 µg IP / placebo administered 3 months apart in a 2:1 ratio
- Group C (2-5 years): one dose of 30 µg IP / placebo in a 2:1 ratio
- Group D (6-8 months): three doses of 2 µg IP / placebo administered at 3- and 6-month intervals in a 2:1 ratio
- Group E (6-8 months): three doses of 10 µg IP or placebo administered at 3- and 6-month intervals in a 2:2:1 ratio
- Group F (9-11 months): two doses of 10 µg IP / placebo administered 6 months apart in a 2:1 ratio
- Group G (6-8 months): two doses of 30 µg IP or placebo administered 9 months apart in a 2:1 ratio.
The DSMB must review the safety data of each group and approve study continuation before investigational product administration of the next group is initiated.
Participants will attend between 5 and 11 scheduled study visits, including blood sampling for immunogenicity assessments and safety evaluations. Blood samples will be collected at screening and at multiple time points throughout the study to assess immune responses and overall health status. Baseline laboratory assessments will include HIV testing, hepatitis screening, complete blood counts, and renal and liver function tests. Women of childbearing potential will undergo pregnancy testing at screening.
Serious adverse events (SAEs) will be reported and followed until resolution or stabilization. Participants will be instructed to contact the study team immediately if they experience any serious adverse event.
The study will monitor for SAEs, including hospitalization, death, or significant disability, occurring during the study, regardless of whether they are considered related to the study vaccine. Immediate reactions occurring within 0.5 - 1 hours after vaccination will be monitored to detect allergic or other acute responses. Solicited mild to moderate adverse events, such as nausea, fever, and diarrhea, will be recorded for up to 7 days after each vaccination.

The goal of this phase 1/2a, randomized, observer-blind, age-descending, dose-finding trial is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a quadrivalent synthetic oligosaccharide-based Shigella vaccine (adjuvanted IP-QSV) in adults, children, and infants in Mali.

this is phase 1/2a, randomized, observer-blind, age-descending, dose-finding trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a quadrivalent synthetic oligosaccharide-based Shigella vaccine (adjuvanted IP-QSV) in adults, children, and infants in Mali
A total of 370 healthy participants aged 6 months to 45 years in Mali will be enrolled and randomly assigned in a 2:1 or 2:2:1 ratio. The study groups are as follow
- Group A (18-45 years): one dose of 30 µg IP / placebo in a 2:1 ratio
- Group B (2-5 years): two doses of 10 µg IP / placebo administered 3 months apart in a 2:1 ratio
- Group C (2-5 years): one dose of 30 µg IP / placebo in a 2:1 ratio
- Group D (6-8 months): three doses of 2 µg IP / placebo administered at 3- and 6-month intervals in a 2:1 ratio
- Group E (6-8 months): three doses of 10 µg IP or placebo administered at 3- and 6-month intervals in a 2:2:1 ratio
- Group F (9-11 months): two doses of 10 µg IP / placebo administered 6 months apart in a 2:1 ratio
- Group G (6-8 months): two doses of 30 µg IP or placebo administered 9 months apart in a 2:1 ratio.
The DSMB must review the safety data of each group and approve study continuation before investigational product administration of the next group is initiated.
Participants will attend between 5 and 11 scheduled study visits, including blood sampling for immunogenicity assessments and safety evaluations. Blood samples will be collected at screening and at multiple time points throughout the study to assess immune responses and overall health status. Baseline laboratory assessments will include HIV testing, hepatitis screening, complete blood counts, and renal and liver function tests. Women of childbearing potential will undergo pregnancy testing at screening.
Serious adverse events (SAEs) will be reported and followed until resolution or stabilization. Participants will be instructed to contact the study team immediately if they experience any serious adverse event.
The study will monitor for SAEs, including hospitalization, death, or significant disability, occurring during the study, regardless of whether they are considered related to the study vaccine. Immediate reactions occurring within 0.5 - 1 hours after vaccination will be monitored to detect allergic or other acute responses. Solicited mild to moderate adverse events, such as nausea, fever, and diarrhea, will be recorded for up to 7 days after each vaccination.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing 30μg IP-QSV, 10μg IP-QSV and 2μg IP-QSV in people with Shigella Infection, run by International Vaccine Institute.
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 23 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jun 2026. 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. 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 combined 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.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Tarun Saluja, MD (+82 2 8811 236, tarun.saluja@ivi.int), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Serious adverse events (SAEs) and adverse events of special interest (AESIs) and medically attended adverse event (MAAE) (time frame: through study completion, an average of 6 months). 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 24 Jun 2026.
