About this study

Official title: A Open Labeled Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Immune Response of a Boosting Regimen With Shanchol™, a Killed Whole Cell Oral Cholera Vaccine (WC-OCV), in Previously Immunized Adults and Children in Eastern Kolkata, India

Data demonstrates that Shanchol™ (killed bivalent oral cholera vaccine) provides protection over 3 years and data regarding the protective efficacy over five years is anticipated for 2012. Regardless at the end of five years, it may still be necessary to provide a booster dose or reimmunize with two doses to maintain protection in previously immunized populations. This study examines the immune protection and safety of providing a one and two dose boosting regimen of Shanchol™ given five years after the initial dose.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Shanchol™, oral cholera vaccineBiological

    This killed, whole cell, bivalent vaccine will be presented as a creamish white suspension. Upon storage, a white sediment and clear supernatant may be observed. The recommended dose (1.5ml) of the vaccine must be administered orally. The primary vaccination schedule consists of two doses given at an interval of two weeks. After vigorous shaking of the vial, 1.5 ml should be poured into the mouth of the recipient, followed by water ad libitum. The vaccine can alternatively be administered with a disposable syringe (without needle) after removing the contents from the vial and squirted into the mouth of the recipient.

    Vaccine is administered in 1.5 mL vials by mouth in 2 doses, given 2 weeks apart. The vaccine appears as a creamy white suspension.

  • no interventionOther

    No intervention will be given to this arm of past placebo recipients. To ensure that boosting was not due to natural exposure to Vibrio cholera, we will compare subjects in the boosting arm to this no intervention arm.

Study groups in NCT01579448
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Vaccine to past vaccinated participantsExperimentalThe first arm includes subjects, who were immunized with two Shanchol™ doses, five years prior. In this study, arm one will receive one Shanchol™ booster dose at baseline and one booster dose on day fourteen.
Receives: Biological: Shanchol™, oral cholera vaccine
Vaccine to past placebo recipientsActive comparatorThe second arm includes subjects, who received two placebo doses, five years prior. Arm two will receive a primary immunization series consisting of one Shanchol™ dose at baseline and one at day fourteen
Receives: Biological: Shanchol™, killed, whole cell, bivalent, oral cholera vaccine
No intervention to past placebo recipientsPlacebo comparatorThe third arm includes subjects, who received two placebo doses, five years prior. This third arm will not receive any intervention and will serve to represent a baseline immune response by vaccine naïve individuals exposed to natural exposure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Immunogenicity provided by a two dose boosting regimen of Shanchol™

    To determine whether two doses of Shanchol™ administered to a previously immunized cohort elicits similar immune responses (greater than fourfold rise in serum vibriocidal antibody titers through IgM) to those achieved by a primary immunization series in an unimmunized cohort stratified by age (6-14 and ≥15 years old),

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Immunogenicity provided by a one dose boosting regimen of Shanchol™

    To determine if a one dose booster regimen of Shanchol™ administered to a previously immunized cohort can elicit similar immune responses (through serum IgM) to those achieved by primary immunization in an unimmunized cohort stratified by age (6-14 and ≥15 years old)

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Rises in serum IgA and IgG following boosting regimens

    Measure rises in serum IgA and IgG as an adjunct measure of immunogenic response to the Shanchol™ boosting regimens

    Measured: 28 days

  3. Proportion of subjects with adverse events

    To confirm the safety of one and two dose boosting regimens Shanchol™ in healthy, non-pregnant subjects stratified by age within 28 days following dosing in each intervention group. Screening for number of adverse events (AEs)and severe adverse events (SAEs) will done on all study visits. Adverse events screened for include: diarrhea, fever, vomiting, abdominal pain, itching, rash, nausea, weakness, cough, vertigo, and dryness of mouth. SAEs are those which are incapacitating, preventing normal activities, including death and hospitalization.

    Measured: 42 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Shanchol™, oral cholera vaccine and Shanchol™, killed, whole cell, bivalent, oral cholera vaccine in people with Cholera, run by Sachin Desai 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 9 inclusion and 4 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 25 Sep 2013. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Immunogenicity provided by a two dose boosting regimen of Shanchol™ (time frame: 28 days). 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 25 Sep 2013.
