    Measured: At Day 7 (IgA); and from baseline (pre-dose) to Day 28 (IgG).

  5. Number and Proportion of Subjects Developing an Immune Response at the Target Dose of 7.5 x 10^9 CFU (Cohort 2) as Determined by the Number of ASCs Secreting IgA.

    Number and proportion of subjects with ≥ 4 ASCs per 10^6 PBMCs at Day 7 secreting IgA specific for S. typhi LPS (detected by ELISPOT).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Dose of 5.0 x 10^9 CFU (Cohort 1), Dose of 7.5 x 10^9 CFU (Cohort 2) and Dose of 1.1 x 10^10 CFU (Cohort 3) in people with Typhoid, run by Emergent BioSolutions at 3 sites 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 2 inclusion and 18 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 9 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Jun 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number and Proportion of Subjects Reporting Suspected Unexpected Serious Adverse Reactions. (time frame: From start of dosing to 28 days post-dosing.). The study lists 7 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 NCT00679172, 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 9 Apr 2024.
