Filter by:This study is to determine the safety and immunogenicity of an Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) candidate vaccine, attenuated recombinant Double Mutant Heat-Labile Toxin (dmLT) from ETEC, administered by the Intradermal (ID) route. The sample size has been determined based on the historic sample, not on power calculations.The study will involve 99 subjects (83 vaccinees and 16 placebo controls) in 4 consecutive cohorts of 16 individuals each (13 vaccinees and 3 placebo controls) and the final cohort of 35 (31 vaccinees and 4 placebos) subjects. The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of dmLT vaccine when administered in three doses intradermally over a range of dosages in healthy adult subjects.
A Phase 1 dose escalating study of ETEC candidate vaccine to determine safety and immunogenicity of a multi-dose regimen in healthy adult volunteers. The study will be conducted at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC). The primary objectives assess the safety and tolerability of dmLT vaccine when administered in three doses sublingually over a range of dosages in healthy adult subjects. The secondary objectives assess long-term safety follow-up from immunization through Month 7 post vaccination, following three SL doses of dmLT vaccine over a range of dosages and comparing with three doses of a comparable dosage of oral vaccine. The study subject population is 52 healthy adult male and female subjects, ages 18 to 45. Subject participation duration is approximately 8 months with study duration of approximately 1.5-2 years, including 6-7 months of follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to learn if a new candidate vaccine (dmLT) against ETEC (E. coli infection) is safe. This vaccine will be tested to see what effects it has on the body and the ability of the vaccine to help the body resist disease. Researchers want to find the highest dose of dmLT vaccine that can be given without causing severe side effects. Most E. coli bacteria are harmless to humans and can even be beneficial. However, some are harmful, and can cause diarrhea. About 32 healthy adults, ages 18-45, will participate in this study. This study will require volunteers to stay in the research facility for several nights. Participants will be assigned to receive 1 of 4 vaccine doses by mouth. Study procedures include: stool samples, blood samples, and documenting side effects. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for about 8 months.
Enterotoxigenic Escherichia (E.) coli (ETEC) bacteria are the main cause of traveler's diarrhea and are significant pathogens affecting children and elderly individuals of developing countries. The purpose of the study is to determine the safety of the ETEC-Cholera vaccine and the body's ability to protect itself against ETEC and cholera infection after receiving the vaccine. The study will enroll a total of 64 healthy volunteers, 18 to 45 years old at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital. The study will provide increasing doses of the vaccine or placebo (inactive substance) to 4 groups consisting of 16 participants each. Participants will remain in the inpatient unit for observation for about 11 days. All subjects will be treated with Cipro, an antibiotic, for 5 days. Study procedures include: blood samples, vital signs, physical examinations, and stool samples. Volunteers will be involved in the study for about 8 months including telephone contacts.
