About this study

Official title: Phase I, Open-label, Dose-Ranging Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of GLS-5700 Administered ID Followed by EP in Dengue Virus-Naïve Adults

The clinical trial will assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of GLS-5700. GLS-5700 is a synthetic DNA plasmid vaccine against the Zika virus. ZIKA-001 is the first in man clinical trial of this vaccine which encodes for the premembrane-membrane and envelope regions of Zika virus.

Read the detailed description

GLS-5700 contains a single plasmid containing DNA encoding for pre-membrane and envelope (prME) proteins of the Zika virus.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events From Day 0 Through Week 60

    Measured: Day 0 through Week 60

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Binding Antibody Response to Zika Envelope

    Serum samples were analyzed on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure binding-antibody responses to recombinant vaccine-matched ZIKV envelope (rZIKV-E) protein and reported as the number of participants who responded.

    Measured: Week 14 (2 weeks after the 3rd dose)

  2. T Cell Response

    PBMCs were tested in enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay to detect the production of interferon-γ-secreting cells in response to stimulation with ZIKV premembrane and envelope peptides

    Measured: Maximum response over follow up period up to 60 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing GLS-5700 in people with Healthy, run by GeneOne Life Science, Inc. at 3 sites in 2 countries.

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 25 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 24 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United States, Canada. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Dec 2024). 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 Participants With Serious Adverse Events From Day 0 Through Week 60 (time frame: Day 0 through Week 60). 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 NCT02809443, 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 24 Dec 2024.
