About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study to Determine the Safety and Immunogenicity of the Candidate Zika Virus (ZIKV) Vaccine ChAdOx1 Zika in Healthy Adult Volunteers.

This is a FIH, open-label, dose escalation, phase I clinical trial to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the candidate ChAdOx1 Zika vaccine in healthy volunteers administered intramuscularly.

Read the detailed description

Volunteers will be recruited and vaccinated at the Centre for Clinical Vaccinology and Tropical Medicine (CCVTM), Oxford. There will be 3 study groups and a total of 24 volunteers will be enrolled. Groups 1-3 will receive ChAdOx1 Zika alone. Staggered enrolment will apply for the first three volunteers within each group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability of ChAdOx1 Zika given as a standalone vaccine at different doses in healthy adult volunteers assessed by the occurrence of solicited adverse events.

    Occurrence of solicited local and systemic adverse events (i.e: pain, redness, swelling and pruritus at injection site and temperature, feverishness, myalgia, arthralgia, malaise, headache and nausea).

    Measured: Assessment of solicited AEs in the first 7 days post vaccination.

  2. Safety and tolerability of ChAdOx1 Zika given as a standalone vaccine at different doses in healthy adult volunteers assessed by the occurrence of unsolicited adverse events.

    Occurrence of unsolicited local and systemic adverse events

    Measured: Unsolicited AEs to be assessed up to 28 days post vaccination.

  3. Safety and tolerability of ChAdOx1 Zika given as a standalone vaccine at different doses in healthy adult volunteers assessed by the occurrence of serious adverse events.

    Occurrence of serious adverse events

    Measured: SAEs will be collected from enrolment until the end of the follow-up period (i.e. 6 months)

  4. Safety and tolerability of ChAdOx1 Zika given as a standalone vaccine at different doses in healthy adult volunteers assessed by the occurrence of laboratory adverse events.

    Occurrence of laboratory adverse events defined as clinically significant changes from baseline. Haematology (Full Blood Count) and Biochemistry (Kidney and Liver Function Tests) will be assessed.

    Measured: At Day 0 (baseline), day 2, day 7 and day 28 post vaccination

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Measures of humoral immunogenicity to the ChAdOx1 ZIKA vaccine

    ELISA to quantify antibodies to ZIKV protein antigens

    Measured: At days 0, 7, 14, 28, 56, 90 and 182 + extended visit days 270 and 360

  2. Measures of cellular immunogenicity to the ChAdOx1 ZIKA vaccines

    Ex vivo interferon gamma ELISpot responses to ZIKV protein antigens

    Measured: At days 0, 7, 14, 28, 56, 90 and 182 + extended visit days 270 and 360

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ChAdOx1 Zika in people with Zika, run by University of Oxford 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 8 inclusion and 26 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 May 2022. 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. 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?

Safety and tolerability of ChAdOx1 Zika given as a standalone vaccine at different doses in healthy adult volunteers assessed by the occurrence of solicited adverse events. (time frame: Assessment of solicited AEs in the first 7 days post vaccination.). The study lists 4 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 May 2022.
