Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single site, phase 1 study of dmLT as a mucosal adjuvant to control fecal viral shedding when used in combination with intradermally administered fractional dose trivalent IPV (fIPV). It will be a 2-arm, randomized, double-blind controlled trial of intradermal fIPV versus fIPV+dmLT in healthy adults with a monovalent oral polio vaccine (OPV) challenge administered as a test of mucosal immunity. A maximum of 30 healthy subjects will be recruited, all of whom will have received IPV only as part of their primary childhood immunization series (cohort 1); they will be randomized 2:1 to receive fIPV-dmLT or fIPV alone. A maximum of 27 participants will be recruited from an earlier pilot study population exposed to fIPV+/-dmLT and will provide follow-up samples for immunologic studies only (cohort 2).

Self-reported or suspected immunodeficiency, or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy within the preceding 6 months, or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy (inhaled, topical and intra-articular and epidural injections are allowed at this discretion of the investigator.

15. Will have household or close professional contact during the mOPV challenge phase (C+0-C+28) of the study with individuals expected to be immunosuppressed (due to underlying condition or treatments) or individuals who have not yet completed their primary infant polio immunization series (i.e., three doses) 16.
