Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase 1 dose escalating study to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of ShigETEC, a live, attenuated Shigella/ETEC combination vaccine given orally to healthy European adults 18 to 45 years of age. The major aim is the development of an efficacious and safe vaccine that prevents diarrhea caused by Shigella and ETEC in travelers, military personal visiting endemic countries and children of the developing world. This Phase 1 safety and immunogenicity study used a double-blind, placebo-control design and was conducted in two stages, a single ascending and a multiple ascending stage.


Clinical Trial Description

ShigETEC vaccine is intended to stimulate an immune response in which protective antibodies are generated that prevent infection if a vaccinee is subsequently exposed to Shigella and ETEC. Main objective of the study: In Stage 1 is to determine Maximum Tolerated Single Dose of ShigETEC vaccine. Determine optimal immunogenicity of single dose in dose escalation. In Stage 2 is to determine safety of multiple dose regimens of ShigETEC Determine number of doses for maximum immune response to Shigella and ETEC. In both stages to determine the duration of shedding. Stage 1 is conducted in an inpatient hospital setting at a single site through Day 6. A total of 48 subjects (2 vaccine recipients to each placebo recipient) are to be enrolled sequentially in 4 different ascending dose groups (12 subjects per group) to receive a single oral dose of the ShigETEC vaccine starting at a dose in the first group of 1 x 10^9 Colony Forming Units (CFU) of vaccine or a placebo. Each group will have baseline serum and stool samples collected at the time of admission, but in any case, before vaccination. Following 12-16 hours, they would receive oral immunization followed by evaluation of acute safety and tolerability for 6 days. Provided that no stopping rules are met through 6 days of follow-up for the entire group then the next group would be enrolled until all 4 groups were enrolled and evaluated through 6 days of assessment. Subjects in each group would be discharged to outpatient follow-up 6 days after dosing (7 days in hospital) if they were asymptomatic for shigellosis-like illness. Any subject with symptomatic illness would be treated with an appropriate course of antibiotic at the time of discharge. Daily stools will be tested for the presence of the ShigETEC vaccine until at least 2 sequential specimens are negative. If shedding persists through 14 days then the participant would be treated with antibiotics regardless of any symptomatology. All subjects would then be followed through 60 days following immunization to collect adverse events and blood samples. Stage 2 of the study is an outpatient double-blind, placebo-controlled study. In this stage, a total of 36 subjects (2 vaccine recipients to each placebo recipient) will be enrolled in 3 different groups (12 subjects per group). The optimal dose and schedule of ShigETEC will be determined by analysis of the safety, shedding, and immunogenicity of each of the immunization schedules and interval of 3 days between doses (e.g dosing on days 1, 4, 7 and 10 for four doses.) Each group will be enrolled and followed for acute safety and tolerability from the first dose of vaccine through 6 days following the last dose of vaccine administered in their schedule and then for 60 days following the last dose of vaccine for other adverse events. Blood for serum immunogenicity studies will be obtained pre-immunization and at 6, 10, 28, and 60 days following the last immunization. Stool samples for evaluation of vaccine shedding will be collected as available (with a target of daily) through up to 14 days following the last dose of vaccine/placebo. Stool samples pre immunization and at or nearest to days 10 and 28 after the last vaccine dose for each group were evaluated for IgA titers to vaccine components. Collection of stool samples for determining vaccine shedding were terminated after two sequential negative samples after day 6 following the last dose. ;
