Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether there is any effect on the antibiotic, ciprofloxacin when taken before and after administration of a 3-dose series of BioThrax® (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed or AVA). This study will be conducted in the United States (US) in 154 healthy male and female volunteer subjects ages 18 to 45. The duration of study participation for each subject will be approximately 76 days (approximately 2.5 months)

Description:

BioThrax is the only FDA-licensed vaccine for the prevention of anthrax infection. This is a randomized, open-label, Phase 2, multi-center trial to investigate the potential interactions of ciprofloxacin and BioThrax.

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Ratios of Ciprofloxacin Area Under the Curve and Cmax (Day 5/Day 44)	Ratios of Area Under the Curve from zero to 12 hours (AUC0-12h) and maximum concentration (Cmax) achieved for ciprofloxacin (Day 5/Day 44).	Day 5 and Day 44 in Arm 1
Secondary	Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Toxin Neutralizing Antibody (TNA) Levels	Blood was collected in arms 1 and 2 at day 48 ( 2 weeks following last vaccination) and in arm 3 at day 43 ( 2 weeks following last vaccination) for TNA assay to determine the NF50 antibody titer for calculating GMT.	Two weeks after last vaccination
