About this study

Official title: Randomized, Double Blind, Controlled Phase I Trial of the Safety, Tolerability,and Immunogenicity of Graded Doses of XRX-001 Yellow Fever 17D, Inactivated Vaccine, Alum Adsorbed in Healthy Adults.

The Phase 1 trial is a single-center, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging out-patient study designed to provide the first clinical data on the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of XRX-001 inactivated yellow fever vaccine in 60 healthy male and female volunteers, 18-49 years of age. Subjects will receive two inoculations of one of two dose levels of XRX-001 vaccine. A control group will receive placebo.

Safety will be determined by the incidence and severity of adverse events in each treatment group and in the combined cohorts in the double blind treatment period up to 42 days post-vaccination. Subjects will also be followed-up at 3, 6 and 12 months to determine severe adverse events (SAEs) and changes in health status.

Efficacy will be assessed by neutralizing antibody response to the vaccine. The co-primary immunogenicity endpoints will be the dose-response analysis of seroconversion rates (fourfold or greater increase in neutralizing antibody titer between baseline and Day 42) and of the 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50) geometric mean titers (GMT) at Day 42.

Secondary immunogenicity endpoints will include:

  1. The seroconversion rates and GMT neutralizing antibody titers for all dose groups combined on Days 21 and 42.
  2. The reverse cumulative distribution curve of antibody titers on Days 21 and 42 for each dose group and for all dose groups combined
  3. The duration of antibody titers displaying the seroconversion rate and GMT across all time-points to Month 12, by treatment group and for both dose groups combined.

What is being measured

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

  1. The Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events in Each Treatment Group in the Double-blind Treatment Period up to 42 Days Post-vaccination.

    Subjects were observed for 60 minutes (greater than of equal to 60 minutes and less than of equal to 90 minutes) after vaccine adminstration for any signs or symptoms or local and/or systematic intolerance to the test articles and vital signs were to be checked within the same observation timeframe.

    After vaccination, subjects were to complete a memory aid to record daily temperature, symptoms, and concomitant medications from Day-0 to Day-42.

    Subjects were to return to the clinic on Days 3, 10, 21, 24, 31, and 42 with a second vaccination given on Day 21.

    At each visit, study personnel were to conduct a structured adverse event (AE) interview, and subject were to use their memory aid to assist with the recall of symptoms experiences and daily oral temperatures.

    Measured: Measured from 0 up to 21 Days

  2. The Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events in Each Treatment Group in the Double-blind Treatment Period up to 42 Days Post-vaccination.

    Subjects were observed for 60 minutes (greater than of equal to 60 minutes and less than of equal to 90 minutes) after vaccine adminstration for any signs or symptoms or local and/or systematic intolerance to the test articles and vital signs were to be checked within the same observation timeframe.

    After vaccination, subjects were to complete a memory aid to record daily temperature, symptoms, and concomitant medications from Day-0 to Day-42.

    Subjects were to return to the clinic on Days 3, 10, 21, 24, 31, and 42 with a second vaccination given on Day 21.

    At each visit, study personnel were to conduct a structured adverse event (AE) interview, and subject were to use their memory aid to assist with the recall of symptoms experiences and daily oral temperatures.

    Measured: Measured from 22 up to 42 Days.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Percentage of Subjects With Seroconversions or Who Are Seropositive Using 2 Dose Levels of XRX-001

    Secondary immunogenicity endpoints will use 2 dose levels of XRX-001 inactivated yellow fever vaccine determined by 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50). Dose groups were to be compared for neutralizing antibody seroconverison rate, distribution of antibody titers, and geometric mean antibody titers (GMTs) to yellow fever 17D virus. The seroconversion rates and GMT neutralizing antibody titers for each dose group and all dose groups combined; The reverse cumulative distribution curve of antibody titers;

    Measured: Days 21 and 42, 12 months

  2. Distribution of Geometric Mean Antibody Titers (GMTs) to Yellow Fever 17D Virus.

    Geometric mean antibody titers (GMT) neutralizing antibody titers for each dose groups.

    Measured: GMT titers measured at days 21, 31 and 42 for different dose rates.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing XRX-001 Inactivated yellow fever vaccine in people with Yellow Fever, run by GE Healthcare 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 5 inclusion and 19 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 5 May 2016. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 May 2016). 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?

The Incidence and Severity of Adverse Events in Each Treatment Group in the Double-blind Treatment Period up to 42 Days Post-vaccination. (time frame: Measured from 0 up to 21 Days). 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 NCT00995865, 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 5 May 2016.
