Clinical Trial Summary

Na-GST-1 is a protein expressed during the adult stage of the hookworm life cycle that is thought to play a role in the parasite's degradation of host hemoglobin for use as an energy source. Vaccination with recombinant GST-1 has protected dogs and hamsters from infection in challenge studies. This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two formulations of Na-GST-1 in healthy adult volunteers when co-administered with the immunostimulant CpG 10104, a Toll-like Receptor-9 agonist.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a Phase 1 randomized double-blind dose-escalation clinical trial in healthy hookworm-naïve adults conducted at the George Washington Medical Faculty Associates, Washington, DC, and the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Tropical Medicine, Washington, DC. In total, 24 subjects will be progressively enrolled into 2 cohorts of 12 subjects each. In the first cohort 8 subjects will receive 30µg Na-GST-1/Alhydrogel co-administered with 500µg CpG 10104 and 4 subjects will receive 100µg Na-GST-1/Alhydrogel® only, in a randomized, double-blinded fashion. In the second cohort 8 subjects will receive 100µg Na-GST-1/Alhydrogel co-administered with 500µg CpG 10104 and 4 volunteers will receive 100µg Na-GST-1/Alhydrogel only, in a randomized, double-blinded fashion. Vaccinations will be administered intramuscularly in the deltoid muscle according to a 0, 2, 4-month schedule. Each subject will participate in the study for 68 weeks (16 months) and the total duration of the study is estimated at approximately 19 months. ;
