Filter by:This is a Phase 1, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of single IV administrations of EV68-228-N in healthy adult volunteers. Three doses (3, 10 and 30 mg/kg) of EV68-228-N will be evaluated in three separate, sequential cohorts in this single dose escalation study. The cohorts will be randomized in a 5:1 randomization scheme. The first two participants in each cohort will serve as sentinels. Sentinel participants may be located at different sites. Sentinel safety data will be collected through Day 3 before submitting to the Safety Review Committee (SRC) for review. The SRC is comprised of the Principal Investigator (PI), the DMID Medical Monitor, and the DMID Medical Officer. Data to be reviewed will include clinical data collected from Visits 1, 2 and 3, the results of laboratory testing conducted at these visits, solicited adverse events (AEs) and the passive reporting of adverse events through Day 3. From the time of infusion of the sentinels to at least 48 hours after infusion, no new participants will be given study product or placebo, but screening may continue. If no safety signal is detected in the sentinel group, and after approval from the DMID Medical Monitor, the remaining 10 participants in the cohort will be dosed following the overall 5:1 randomization scheme. All participants will be actively monitored for AEs and safety laboratory data following dosing through Day 8. Data will be reviewed by the SRC and discussed with the Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) for their concurrence before advancing to the next cohort. Electronic review of the safety data by the SMC is required prior to the cohort dose escalation when halting rules are met or there are any safety concerns. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of a single IV infusion of either 3, 10, or 30 mg/kg of EV68-228-N when administered to healthy adults. The secondary objective is to: 1) characterize the PK of single ascending doses of EV68-228-N for approximately four months following the infusion and 2) measure the occurrence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) elicited following a single IV infusion of EV68-228-N in healthy adults.
Enteroviruses (EV) are the most frequent cause of acute meningitis in the paediatric population. Detection of enterovirus in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) specimens by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is the gold standard diagnostic test. Recently, our laboratory published the BLEDI study which highlighted the interest of detecting EV in the blood of the paediatric population : (i) EV was found in more than a quarter of cases in the blood of infants admitted to hospital with isolated fever and (ii) detection of EV was more frequent in the blood than in CSF in neonates and infants with isolated fever, sepsis or meningitis. However, the pathophysiology of EV infections is poorly understood and little work has been done on the inflammatory response to these infections. In EV meningitis, the inflammatory response has been studied primarily in children infected with enterovirus A71 (EV-A71). Indeed, in these children, inappropriate cytokine secretion (cytokine storm) leads to severe neurological and cardiopulmonary damage, which can progress to death. The study of the inflammatory response during meningitis due to other types of EV remains poorly The objective of BLEDI-CYTOKINES (ancillary study of the BLEDI study) is to study the inflammatory response during EV meningitis in neonates, infants and children, as assessed by cytokine levels in blood and cerebrospinal fluid, by comparing case-controls from an existing cohort.
Neonates could be infected by non-polio enterovirus easily. Some of the neonates may develop fatal complications within one week. The objective of this study were as following: 1.To understand the composition and epidemiological characteristics of enterovirus infection in pregnant women in some areas of China; 2.To understand the transmission from mother to their neonates; 3.To understand the pathogenic spectrum composition, epidemiological characteristics and clinical characteristics of enterovirus infection in neonates; 4.To understand the genetic variation and changes of enteroviruses; 5.To establish a quality management system for maternal and neonatal enterovirus laboratory testing and monitoring.
This phase IV clinical study evaluates the safety of enterovirus 71 vaccine in children aged 6-35 months old by the method of both passive and active surveillance.
