About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Single Center, Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of 3 Vaccinations With Shigella Sonnei Vaccine (1790GAHB) Administered Either by Intradermal, Intranasal or Intramuscular Route in Healthy Adults.

This Phase 1 clinical trial is aimed to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of 3 doses of a candidate vaccine against Shigella sonnei (1790GAHB vaccine) when administered at different dosages by different routes (intradermally, intranasally or intramuscularly) in healthy adults (18 to 45 years of age at enrollment). The safety profile of the 1790GAHB vaccine is evaluated in comparison to that of placebo (GAHB-Placebo), constituted by an aluminum hydroxide suspension having the same concentration as study vaccine formulations. A total of 52 eligible subjects will be assigned to one of three sequential cohorts as follows:

Cohort A) 0.1 μg ID and 5 μg IN Cohort B) 1 μg ID and 20 μg IN Cohort C) 10 μg ID, 80 μg IN and 5 μg IM Within each cohort, in an observer-blind fashion, subjects will be randomized to receive three vaccinations, four weeks apart, of either 1790GAHB vaccine (at five antigen concentrations) or GAHB placebo. Specifically for IN and ID administration routes, a Data Safety Monitoring Board will be in place to receive a summary of all safety data obtained during one week follow-up post-first vaccination with the lower dose. Based on evaluation of the safety data, the Data Safety Monitoring Board will make a recommendation, as to whether the next cohort should be vaccinated with higher antigen concentration or not.

Expected duration of the study for an individual subject is 9 months. Each subject will be followed-up for 6 months after the 3rd vaccination

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects with solicited local reaction after any vaccination

    Any erythema/induration/swelling refers to: ≥25 mm in diameter. Grade 3 (severe) refers to erythema/induration/swelling >100 mm in diameter.

    Grade 3 (severe) for injection site pain/nasal pain/facial edema/rhinorrhea refers to: prevents daily activity

    Measured: During a 7-day (Days 1-7) post vaccination period following any injection

  2. Number of subjects with solicited systemic reaction after any vaccination

    Any= Incidence of any symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 = symptom that prevented daily activities

    Measured: During a 7-day (Days 1 to 7) post vaccination period following any injection

  3. Number of subjects with Neutrophils results below and above the normal ranges

    Day 8: VISIT 2 (D7 post 1st vac)

    Measured: At Day 8

  4. Number of subjects with Neutrophils results below and above the normal

    Day 36: VISIT 3.1 (D7 post 2nd vac)

    Measured: At Day 36

  5. Number of subjects with Neutrophils results below and above the normal

    Day 57: VISIT 4 (3rd vac.)

    Measured: At Day 57

  6. Number of subjects with Neutrophils results below and above the normal

    Day 64: VISIT 4.1 (D7 post 3rd vac.)

    Measured: At Day 64

  7. Number of subjects with Neutrophils results below and above the normal

    Day 85: VISIT 5 (1 month post 3rd vac.)

    Measured: At Day 85

  8. Number of subjects with Neutrophils results below and above the normal

    Day 225: VISIT 6 (6 months post 3rd vac.)

    Measured: At Day 225

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Anti-LPS S. sonnei serum IgG Geometric mean concentration (GMCs)

    Measured: At baseline, at 28 days after each vaccination and at 168 days after last vaccination

  2. Number of subjects with seroresponse for anti-LPS S. sonnei

    Seroresponse is defined as: If half of the baseline value is greater than 25 ELISA Unit (EU) then an increase of at least 50% in the post-vaccination sample as compared to baseline [i.e. ((Post-vac minus baseline)/baseline)100% ≥ 50%]. If half of the baseline value is less or equal to 25 EU then an increase of at least 25 EU in the post-vaccination sample as compared to baseline (i.e. [post-vac minus baseline] ≥25 EU)

    Measured: At 28 days after each vaccination and 168 days after last vaccination

  3. Number of subjects with high seroresponse for anti-LPS S. sonnei (IgG ELISA ≥121 EU)

    High seroresponse is defined as a post vaccination titer ≥X anti-LPS serum IgG units in the GSK (former Novartis) ELISA that correspond to a titer of 1:800 in the ELISA method used by Cohen et al. (1989 J. Clin. Microbiol. 27:162). To determine the value for 'X' the GSK (former Novartis) anti-LPS ELISA was calibrated against the Cohen ELISA and it was found that a concentration of 121 EU EU/mL corresponds to a titer of 1:800 in the Cohen assay

    Measured: At baseline, at 28 days after each vaccination and at 168 days after last vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing S. sonnei 1790GAHB in people with Shigellosis, run by GSK Vaccines Institute For Global Health S.r.l. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 6 inclusion and 24 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 21 Jun 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 Kingdom. 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 of subjects with solicited local reaction after any vaccination (time frame: During a 7-day (Days 1-7) post vaccination period following any injection). The study lists 8 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 NCT02034500, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Jun 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
