What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Reactions After Each Vaccination

    Assessed solicited local adverse reactions were injection site erythema, induration, pain. Assessed systemic adverse reactions were headache, arthralgia, chills, fatigue, malaise, myalgia and temperature (body temperature measured axillary). Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Any temperature = body temperature ≥ 38.0°C. Severe symptom = pain, headache, arthralgia, chills, fatigue, malaise and myalgia that prevented normal activity. Severe redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 100 millimeters (mm) of injection site. Severe temperature = body temperature > 40.0 °C.

    Measured: From 30 minutes up to 7 days following each vaccination

  2. Number of Subjects With Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE is an AE that was not solicited using the Diary Card and that was spontaneously communicated by a subject who has signed the informed consent. Potential unsolicited AEs may be medically attended (defined as symptoms or illnesses requiring hospitalization, or emergency room visit, or visit to/by a health care provider), or were of concern to the subject.

    Note: *disruptions= dose reduction, interruption or delay in study vaccination.

    Measured: During 28 days following each vaccination

  3. Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in one or more of the following: death; is life-threatening (i.e., the subject was, in the opinion of the investigator, at immediate risk of death from the event as it occurred); it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe; required or prolonged hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity (i.e., the event causes a substantial disruption of a person's ability to conduct normal life functions); congenital anomaly/or birth defect; an important and significant medical event that may not be immediately life-threatening or resulting in death or hospitalization but, based upon appropriate medical judgment, may jeopardize the subject or may require intervention to prevent one of the other outcomes listed above.

    Measured: Throughout the whole study period (from Day 1 up to Day 57)

  4. Number of Subjects With Deviations From Normal Ranges of Safety Laboratory Data at Day 8 by Baseline Ranges

    The safety laboratory data included haematological parameters (basophils, eosinophils, erytrocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets and neutrophils), and chemical parameters (Alkaline Phosphatase [ALP], Alanine Aminotransferase [ALA], Aspartate Aminotransferase [AST], Bilirubin [BILI], Blood Urea Nitrogen [BUN], Creatinine [CREAT], Gamma Glutamyl Transferase [GGT], Glucose [GLUC], Potassium [K], Lactate Dehydrogenase [LDH] and Sodium [Na]).

    Below = value below the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter; Within = value within the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter; Above = value above the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter.

    Measured: At Day 8 (7 days after first vaccination)

  5. Number of Subjects With Deviations From Normal Ranges of Safety Laboratory Data at Day 29 by Baseline Ranges

    The safety laboratory data included haematological parameters (basophils, eosinophils, erytrocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets and neutrophils), and chemical parameters (Alkaline Phosphatase [ALP], Alanine Aminotransferase [ALA], Aspartate Aminotransferase [AST], Bilirubin [BILI], Blood Urea Nitrogen [BUN], Creatinine [CREAT], Gamma Glutamyl Transferase [GGT], Glucose [GLUC], Potassium [K], Lactate Dehydrogenase [LDH] and Sodium [Na]).

    Below = value below the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter; Within = value within the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter; Above = value above the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter.

    Measured: At Day 29 (28 days after the first vaccination)

  6. Number of Subjects With Deviations From Normal Ranges of Safety Laboratory Data at Day 36 by Baseline Ranges

    The safety laboratory data included haematological parameters (basophils, eosinophils, erytrocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets and neutrophils), and chemical parameters (Alkaline Phosphatase [ALP], Alanine Aminotransferase [ALA], Aspartate Aminotransferase [AST], Bilirubin [BILI], Blood Urea Nitrogen [BUN], Creatinine [CREAT], Gamma Glutamyl Transferase [GGT], Glucose [GLUC], Potassium [K], Lactate Dehydrogenase [LDH] and Sodium [Na]). Below = value below the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter; Within = value within the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter; Above = value above the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter.

    Measured: At Day 36 (7 days after the second vaccination)

  7. Number of Subjects With Deviations From Normal Ranges of Safety Laboratory Data at Day 57 by Baseline Ranges

    The safety laboratory data included haematological parameters (basophils, eosinophils, erytrocytes, hematocrit, hemoglobin, leukocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, platelets and neutrophils), and chemical parameters (Alkaline Phosphatase [ALP], Alanine Aminotransferase [ALA], Aspartate Aminotransferase [AST], Bilirubin [BILI], Blood Urea Nitrogen [BUN], Creatinine [CREAT], Gamma Glutamyl Transferase [GGT], Glucose [GLUC], Potassium [K], Lactate Dehydrogenase [LDH] and Sodium [Na]). Below = value below the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter; Within = value within the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter; Above = value above the laboratory reference range defined for the specified visit and laboratory parameter.

    Measured: At Day 57 (28 days after the second vaccination)

  8. Number of Subjects With Reported Reactive Arthritis or Neutropenia (AESIs)

    Reactive arthritis is defined as non-purulent joint inflammation that develops in response to an infection in another part of the body. Since the inflammation is triggered by a previous condition, it is termed "reactive". Intestinal pathogens that have been associated with reactive arthritis include Campylobacter, Salmonella, Yersinia, Clostridium difficile, and Shigella. If reactive arthritis is caused by an auto immune response, there is at least a possibility that it could be initiated by vaccination of susceptible people with the 1790GAHB vaccine.

    Measured: Throughout the whole study period (from Day 1 up to Day 57)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Anti-LPS S.Sonnei IgG ELISA Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs), by Baseline Titer

    Anti-LPS S.Sonnei IgG ELISA concentrations were tabulated as unadjusted geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) and expressed as ELISA units (EU) per milliliter (mL), presented with their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Since all subjects in the study were from an endemic country, they had pre-vaccination titers equal to or above (≥) LLOQ (limit of detection).

    Measured: At Day 1, Day 29 (28 days after the first vaccination) and Day 57 (28 days after the second vaccination)

  2. Anti-LPS S. Sonnei Geometric Mean Ratios (GMRs) Between Post- and Pre-vaccination Samples

    The ratio was expressed as unadjusted geometric mean ratio (GMR) and presented with its 95% confidence interval (CI).

    Measured: At Day 1, Day 29 (28 days after the first vaccination) and Day 57 (28 days after the second vaccination)

  3. Number of Subjects With Seroresponse to Anti-LPS S. Sonnei IgG ELISA, by Baseline Titer

    Seroresponse was defined as: if the baseline value was greater than 50 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 the baseline value was less or equal to 50 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).

    Since all subjects in the study were from an endemic country, they had pre-vaccination titers equal to or above (≥) LLOQ (limit of detection).

    Measured: At Day 29 (28 days after the first vaccination) and Day 57 (28 days after the second vaccination)

  4. Number of Subjects With Titers Post Vaccination Concentration for Anti-LPS S. Sonnei ≥ 121 U/mL

    The analysis cut-off value (121 U/mL) was expressed in units per milliliter (U/mL), as assessed by the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA).

    Measured: At Day 1, Day 29 (28 days after the first vaccination) and Day 57 (28 days after the second vaccination)

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 5 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 18 Feb 2019. 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 Kenya. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Feb 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 and Systemic Adverse Reactions After Each Vaccination (time frame: From 30 minutes up to 7 days following each vaccination). 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?
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 18 Feb 2019.
