About this study

Official title: Double-blind (Observer-blind), Randomised, Controlled, Phase I/II Study, to Evaluate the Safety, Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity of GSK Biologicals' Candidate Tuberculosis Vaccine, Mtb72F/AS02A Administered Intramuscularly at 0, 1, 2 Months to Healthy PPD-positive Volunteers Aged 18 to 50 Years

This study will evaluate the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of Mtb72F/AS02A in healthy European volunteers who are PPD-positive either via previous vaccination with BCG and/or conversion to PPD positivity through exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Read the detailed description

The BCG vaccine has been widely available for several decades. It is easy and cheap to produce, and when given to neonates or young children it is effective in preventing severe manifestations of disease such as meningeal tuberculosis and miliary tuberculosis. However, in terms of the capacity of the vaccine to protect adult humans it shows a wide range of efficacy, including zero levels of protection. Due to the general realization that BCG is losing its protective effect, particularly in terms of preventing adult-onset tuberculosis, a major effort has been made to try to develop new alternative vaccines. One such candidate, Mtb72F/AS02A, is a polyprotein derived from two known M. tuberculosis antigens adjuvanted with AS02A. Mtb72F/AS02A is a candidate TB vaccine under development for two indications: prevention of primary TB infection in young children in highly endemic areas and as an adjunct to treatment for TB in adolescents and adults.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Occurrence of solicited symptoms during the 7-day follow-up period, unsolicited symptoms during the 30-day follow-up period, grade 3 vaccine related local and general symptoms during the 30-day follow-up and serious adverse events during the entire study

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immunogenicity as assessed by humoral and CMI response.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Mtb72F/AS02A in people with Tuberculosis (TB), run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Occurrence of solicited symptoms during the 7-day follow-up period, unsolicited symptoms during the 30-day follow-up period, grade 3 vaccine related local and general symptoms during the 30-day follow-up and serious adverse events during the entire study. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00146744, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 May 2017.
