About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Controlled, Double-blind, Dose-Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of AERAS-422 in Healthy Adults

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of AERAS-422 in healthy, BCG-naïve adults.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I, randomized, controlled, double-blind, dose-escalation study of AERAS-422. This study will be conducted in 24 HIV-negative, healthy adults who are BCG-naïve and negative for prior exposure to Mtb at enrollment. The study will be conducted at one or more clinical research sites in the United States.

AERAS-422 will be administered on Study Day 0 as a single 0.1 mL intradermal (ID) injection containing either >= 10^5 to <10^6 CFU (low-dose) or >=10^6 CFU (high-dose). BCG Tice® will be used as an active control for AERAS-422 and will be administered as a single 0.1 mL ID injection containing 1-8 x 10^5 CFU on Study Day 0.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety

    Assessment of collected unsolicited and solicited adverse events (including site of injection reaction (pain, erythema, induration, ulceration, drainage, and scarring), regional lymphadenopathy (axillary and cervical), fever, headache, myalgia, arthralgia and fatigue. The adverse event collection timeframe includes all events that occur up to 56 days after study vaccination. Assessment of serious adverse events will be based on events collected throughout the duration of the study. All safety data will be evaluated before moving into the next successive dose level.

    Measured: Days 0, 3, 7, 14, 28, 56, 84, 112, 140 & 182

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immunogenicity

    Measurement of immunogenicity based on the percentage of cytokine producing T cells.

    Measured: Days 0, 14, 28, 56, 84, 112, 140 and 182

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AERAS-422 and BCG Tice in people with Tuberculosis, run by Aeras 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 9 inclusion and 23 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 Aug 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. 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?

Safety (time frame: Days 0, 3, 7, 14, 28, 56, 84, 112, 140 & 182). 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 NCT01340820, 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 16 Aug 2012.
