  • Female subjects must be:
  • of childbearing potential and practicing an acceptable method of birth control described below as judged by the investigator(s); or
  • of postmenopausal status (no menses) for at least 1 year and has a documented FSH level ≥ 40 mIU/mL; or

About this study

Official title: Phase I Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of NDV-3, a Recombinant Alum-Adjuvanted Vaccine for Staphylococcus Aureus and Candida Infections, Administered Intramuscular to Healthy Adults

This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study is a first-in-human Phase 1 study using two dose levels of an investigational vaccine directed against S. aureus and Candida. The study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of the investigational vaccine, NDV-3

Read the detailed description

Preclinical studies in mice have established that several members of the Als family of proteins induce a protective immune response in mice and allow high survival rates following challenge with highly virulent doses of either Candida or S. aureus. Als3 (the antigen in the NDV-3 investigational vaccine) is the most effective member of the Als protein family in protecting mice from challenge with either Candida or S. aureus. This Phase I study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a two doses administered 6 months apart of NDV-3 vaccine at two dose levels. At least 40 subjects will be enrolled in the study in two groups of approximately 20 subjects each. Each group will be randomized so that 15 will receive NDV-3 vaccine and 5 will receive placebo. All injections will be administered intramuscularly. One group will receive a low dose of NDV-3 and the other a ten-fold higher dose. Subjects will have follow-up visits to assess the safety, tolerability and immune responses at days 3, 7, 14, 28, 90 and 180 after the first vaccination to compare to baseline levels and at days 7, 14 and 90 after the second vaccination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NDV-3 investigational vaccine in people with Staphylococcal Infections and Candidiasis, run by NovaDigm Therapeutics, Inc. 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 20 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 22 May 2012. 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?

The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of one dose of NDV-3 vaccine compared to placebo at two different dose levels. (time frame: 1 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 May 2012.
