About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study to Determine the Safety, Infectivity, and Tolerability of Two Doses of Live Attenuated Recombinant Cold Passaged (cp) 45 Parainfluenza Type 3 Virus Vaccine, rHPIV3cp45, Lot PIV3 102A, Delivered as Nose Drops to Infants 6 to 12 Months of Age, and to HPIV3 Seronegative Infants and Children 6 to 36 Months of Age

Human parainfluenza viruses (HPIVs) are a major health concern in infants and young children under 5 years of age, causing serious respiratory tract disease. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of and immune response to a new HPIV vaccine in healthy infants and children.

Read the detailed description

HPIV type 3 (HPIV3) ranks second only to respiratory syncytial virus as the most important cause of bronchiolitis and pneumonia in infants less than 6 months of age. HPIV3 can cause severe disease in the first 2 years of life and is responsible for 11% of hospitalizations for respiratory diseases in children. This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a live recombinant attenuated intranasal HPIV3 vaccine, rHPIV3cp45.

This study will last for a maximum of 180 days. Infants will be enrolled into one of two study groups, Group 1 or Group 2. Depending on the study location, groups will enroll either sequentially or concurrently. Within each group, infants will be randomly assigned to receive 2 immunizations of rHPIV3cp45 or placebo. Immunizations will be given as nose drops. Immunizations will be given at study entry and approximately 4 to 10 weeks after study entry.

On the day of immunization, a physical exam, vital signs measurement, blood collection, and medical history will occur. Infants will be observed for 15 minutes after immunization for any immediate adverse effects. Parents or guardians will be given a thermometer to take with them and will be instructed on how to take their infant's temperature. They will be given the study schedule and will need to provide contact phone numbers so study personnel can contact them by phone during the days after immunization. Parents and guardians will be contacted by telephone on days without study visits, from Day 1 to Day 19 and on Day 180 after immunization, and asked about any illnesses or adverse effects they have observed in their immunized infants.

Parents or guardians will need to record their infant's temperature daily for at least the 17 days immediately following immunization. During this 17-day period, there will be at least 6 study visits associated with each immunization; visits will occur on the day of immunization and approximately 3, 7, 10, 14, and 17 days after immunization. At all study visits, infants will undergo a physical exam and vital signs measurement. Group 1 participants will also undergo a nasal wash for a viral culture. There will be additional follow-up visits occurring sometime between 28 and 70 days after the first dose and 28 to 35 days after the second dose; blood collection will occur at the follow-up visits. Additional visits may be required on selected days during the month after immunization. Infants who experience illness or side effects may be asked to return to the clinic for examination. Parents or guardians will be made aware of whether their infant received the HPIV vaccine or placebo 18 days after the second immunization or in the event of a lower respiratory tract illness.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of vaccine-related reactogenicity events (REs) that occur during the acute monitoring phase of the study

    Measured: For 17 days after each dose

  2. Proportion of infants that develop fourfold or greater rises in hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI) antibody titer following two doses of vaccine

    Measured: Throughout study

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. For the subset of infants enrolled in group 1 of the study (n=24), quantifying the amount of vaccine virus shed by each recipient

    Measured: Throughout study

  2. Assessment of the immunogenicity of a second dose of vaccine and the protection of the first dose against reinfection with the second dose

    Measured: Throughout study

  3. Determination of the number of vaccinated infants infected with rHPIV3cp45

    Measured: Throughout study

  4. Determination of the number of vaccinated subjects infected with a second dose of rHPIV3cp45 vaccine

    Measured: Throughout study

  5. Determination of the phenotypic stability of vaccine virus shed

    Measured: Throughout study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing rHPIV3cp45 in people with Paramyxoviridae Infections and Virus Diseases, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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 16 Jul 2010. 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 United States. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Frequency of vaccine-related reactogenicity events (REs) that occur during the acute monitoring phase of the study (time frame: For 17 days after each dose). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00308412, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 16 Jul 2010.
