About this study

Official title: A Phase I Randomized Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind Study to Evaluate Safety and Immunogenicity of AERAS-402 When Administered to HIV-Negative BCG-Vaccinated Adults Without Evidence of Tuberculosis Infection

This Phase I study will be conducted as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy adult subjects who are HIV-negative, BCG-vaccinated, and have no evidence of tuberculosis infection. The study will be conducted at one clinical research site in India.

The available live tuberculosis vaccine, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), provides incomplete protection against pulmonary tuberculosis. For unknown reasons, a BCG revaccination or "booster", while not toxic, does not provide much additional protection. AERAS-402 presents tuberculosis antigens in the setting of a new, live, replication-deficient adenovirus vaccine that may increase T cell-mediated immunity and thus protection from tuberculosis. Since BCG-vaccinated individuals are the population for which AERAS-402 might be indicated, AERAS-402 will be administered to individuals already vaccinated with BCG.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number and Percentage of Adverse Events by treatment group

    The number and percentage of Adverse Events will be presented and compared by treatment group (placebo vs AERAS 402).

    Measured: Day 56

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immune Response

    Percentage of CD4 and CD8 cells producing specific cytokines will be measured and tabulated in subjects who have received the vaccine.

    Measured: Day 182

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing AERAS 402 in people with Tuberculosis, run by Aeras at 1 site in India.

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 11 inclusion and 33 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 17 Mar 2014. 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 India. 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?

Number and Percentage of Adverse Events by treatment group (time frame: Day 56). 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 NCT01378312, 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 17 Mar 2014.
