The purpose of the study is to develop a BCG challenge model for use in short term Phase I human trials capable of assessing the ability of TB drugs and/or vaccine-induced immune responses to impact in vivo mycobacterial replication as a method of assessing antimycobacterial agents and/or protective immunity elicited by vaccines or host-directed therapy. The trial will illuminate the nature of local and systemic immune responses to BCG and treatment response, as well as demonstrate our local capacity for newer, more innovative study designs.

Defined as taken for 2 weeks or more in total at any time during the past 2 months. High dose defined as prednisone = 20 mg total daily dose, or equivalent dose of other glucocorticoids. High dose defined as > 800 mcg/day of beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent. If short term corticosteroids are given, then the subject should not receive Tice® BCG or have blood collected for immunogenicity studies within 1 week of steroid administration. - Have immunosuppression or are taking systemic immunosuppressants as a result of an underlying illness or treatment, - Use of anticancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy (cytotoxic) within 36 months prior to Tice® BCG administration, - Any active neoplastic disease, - Have a pulse rate less than 50 bpm or greater than 100 bpm, - Have a systolic blood pressure less than 90 mm Hg or greater than 140 mm Hg, - Have a diastolic blood pressure less than 50 mm Hg or greater than 90 mmHg, - Have a WBC less than 4.0x103/uL or greater than 10.5x103/uL, - Have hemoglobin less than 11.5x103/uL (female) or less than 12.5x103/uL (male), - Have a platelet count less than 140x103/UL, - Have a creatinine greater than 1.30 mg/dL, - Have an ALT (SGPT) greater than 40 IU/L (female) or greater than 55 IU/L (male), - Have known HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C infection, - Have a history of alcohol or drug abuse in the last 5 years, - Have had a positive PPD skin test in the past or received BCG vaccine (BCG vaccination history will be determined by self-report, country of birth, and/or evidence of BCG scar), - Have a BMI >35, - PPD skin test within 2 months prior to Tice® BCG administration or planned receipt during the study other than from participation in this study, - Oral temperature = 100.4°F (= 38.0°C) or other symptoms of an acute illness within 3 days before Tice® BCG administration. (Subject may be rescheduled), - Any medical disease or condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, is a contraindication to study participation.

Primary | Assess viable BCG bacteria from intradermal challenge site from culture. | Through microbial culture, quantify in colony forming units (CFU) BCG bacterial burden in skin biopsies from challenge sites. | Up to 4 weeks | |
Secondary | The rate of AE's/SAE's | treatment and do not interfere with the patient's daily activities Moderate (grade 2): events result in a low level of inconvenience or concern with the therapeutic measures. Moderate events may cause some interference with functioning and daily activities Severe (grade 3): events interrupt a patient's usual daily activity and may require systemic drug therapy or other treatment. Severe events are usually incapacitating. |
Through study completion, an average of 16 weeks. | |
Secondary | Assess quantitative bacterial 16S ribosomal DNA PCR | Assessing the number of real time BCG genomes present in skin biopsies from challenge sites. | Up to 12 weeks | |
Secondary | Quantification of IgG in the blood after BCG immunization and INH or RIF dosing. | To assess the integrity of immune response at BCG challenge and after INH or RIF dosing. | Up to 16 weeks | |
Secondary | Quantification of IgA in the blood after BCG immunization and INH or RIF dosing. | To assess the integrity of immune response at BCG challenge and after INH or RIF dosing. | Up to 16 weeks |
