Filter by:A study among adults, children and infants in Kenya to determine if a new type of glycoconjugate vaccine incorporating a synthetic carbohydrate component is safe and induces immunity against Shigella.
This study aims to address the paucity of accurate incidence data of diarrheal diseases associated with Shigella in Zambia and Burkina Faso. Given the limited feasibility of the current complex diagnostic methods used to detect Shigella in endemic and developing countries due to the costs, the none availability of reagents and a requirement of expensive and complex machinery, we suggest to use a rapide, easy-to-use, cost-effective, and robust Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) based rapid tool, the Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) based diagnostic assay (ES-RLDT). This baseline study will enable us to generate an accurate estimate of Shigella incidence so as to inform future trials' designs of an oral vaccine development (ShigOraVax) in Burkina Faso and Zambia. This project is part of the EDCTP2 programme supported by the European Union under grant agreement "No RIA2018V-2308
This is a trial to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, immunogenicity and efficacy of a 10^6 cfu dose of an oral live-attenuated S. sonnei vaccine candidate, WRSs2, in up to 120 healthy males and non-pregnant females aged 18-49, inclusive. This is a two-phase study, an outpatient WRSs2 vaccination phase and an inpatient S. sonnei 53G challenge phase. After the initiation of the study, two participants had Grade 3 diarrhea and/or vomiting in the days following vaccination. The vaccination dose was reduced to 5X10^5, enrollment was changed to 2 arms and randomized 2:1 (vaccine: placebo). Participants with morbid obesity were excluded and weight loss medications prohibited. The Primary Objective of this study is to estimate combined vaccine efficacy of 2 doses of WRSs2 (10^6 cfu or 5X10^5 cfu) in preventing shigellosis, following challenge with S. sonnei strain 53G.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether SF2a-TT15 (a monovalent synthetic carbohydrate-based conjugate Shigella vaccine) is safe and effective in the prevention of Shigella infection.
In this study, the tetravalent bioconjugate candidate vaccine Shigella4V will be tested to obtain first-in-human data on its safety and immunogenicity in infants and to identify the preferred dose of Shigella4V in 9 month old infants.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of 3 days of azithromycin (AZI) compared to 3 days of ciprofloxacin (CIP) (standard-of-care) for the treatment of children hospitalised with dysentery in Ho Chi Minh City.
The purpose of this project is to systematically collect clinical and nutritional outcomes information on patients treated for Shigella infection so that physicians and clinical laboratories can better define which Shigella infections are "resistant" to antibiotics and which are "susceptible", focusing on azithromycin a last-line drug to treat drug resistant Shigella
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety of S.flexneriza-S.sonnei Bivalent Conjugate Vaccine in healthy volunteers aged above 3 Months.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of the GSK3536852A vaccine, which was designed to protect against shigellosis caused by Shigella sonnei (S. sonnei) and is using the new Generalized Modules for Membrane Antigens (GMMA) platform technology developed by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Vaccines Institute for Global Health (GVGH). The study vaccine could be the stepping stone for the development of a multivalent broadly protective Shigella vaccine for vaccination of impoverished communities where shigellosis is endemic. However, a standalone monovalent vaccine against S. sonnei could be used to protect travelers against diarrheal shigellosis, as the vast majority of travelers' shigellosis is caused by S. sonnei, and even to protect infants in endemic regions where shigellosis is primarily caused by S. sonnei. The GSK3536852A vaccine has been tested in two Phase I dose escalation studies in Europe to assess its safety and immunogenicity via three routes of administration: intramuscular (IM), intranasal (IN) and intradermal (ID). The results from the first study (dose escalation with IM vaccination) have shown that the vaccine has an acceptable safety profile and is well-tolerated up to a dose of 100 micrograms (µg). The results from the second study (dose escalation with ID, IN and IM vaccination) showed that GSK3536852A vaccine is well-tolerated also when administered by the ID and IN routes of vaccination. However, immunogenicity data have shown that GSK3536852A vaccine administered by the ID and IN routes is not as immunogenic as GSK3536852A vaccine administered by the IM route. Therefore, it has been decided to proceed with the clinical development program of this vaccine only using the IM vaccination route. In terms of dosage, the regimen tested in Phase I studies (three doses given one month apart) did not show any significant benefit from the third dose in terms of immunogenicity, therefore a two dose schedule was selected for next studies. A Phase IIa study, conducted in endemic regions of Africa (i.e., Kenya), has been completed and confirmed the acceptable safety profile and immunogenicity of GSK3536852A vaccine. Performing this vaccine-human challenge study may give the opportunity to establish evidence of clinical protection induced by the candidate S. sonnei vaccine (GSK3536852A vaccine) at an early development stage.
GVGH Shigella Sonnei 1970GAHB is a vaccine aimed at preventing the disease caused by Shigella sonnei. A post-hoc analysis of subjects who participated in the parent study showed significantly different responses in subjects with detectable versus undetectable antibody titres at baseline, suggesting the possibility that the vaccine might not be sufficiently immunogenic in completely naïve adults. This study was then designed to further characterize the immunogenicity profile of the vaccine and to evaluate whether it was able to induce an immunological memory response.
