Ex Vivo Evaluation of Immunity Activation Face to S. Aureus Antigens and Adjuvants of a Vaccine Candidate in Cells From Haemodialysis Patients

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Staphylococcus Aureus
Interventions
Biological: blood samples
Biological: nasal swabs
Registration Number
NCT03643328
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne
Brief Summary

S. aureus is a leading cause of severe infections notably in haemodialysis patients. These patients have a high risk of S. aureus nasal carriage, with a rate of persistent carriage near 30%. These carriers are particularly at risk of S. aureus infections as we previously shown. High risk of S. aureus infections such as bacteremia occurred notably in patients with dialysis catheters. Decolonization of carriers may prevent such infections however this approach has limits. Development of an effective S. aureus vaccine is crucial. To date, past vaccines tested (phase III) failed to achieve their end points. Target of only one or few antigens, absence of cellular response induction and possibly no impact on carriage are probably the reasons of the failures.

Detailed Description

In an attempt to minimize failure in a clinical phase, ex vivo analysis of immune response of leucocytes of haemodialysis patients face to S. aureus and the impact of antigens and adjuvants of a candidate vaccine may help.
