PXVX0200 (CVD103-HgR) vs Shanchol in Mali

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Cholera
Interventions
Biological: Shanchol
Biological: PXVX0200 10E9
Biological: PXVX0200 10E8
Biological: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02145377
Lead Sponsor
University of Maryland, Baltimore
Brief Summary

To compare the ability of a single dose of PXVX0200 at two different dose levels, to placebo to elicit a significant antibody response 14 days after vaccination, compared to baseline.

To compare the ability of a single dose of PXVX0200 to a comparator vaccine Shanchol, a two dose administration, to elicit antibody response by 14 days after vaccination.

Detailed Description

Currently there are two licensed inactivated vibrio oral vaccines (Dukoral® \[Crucell; Leiden, The Netherlands\] and Shanchol™ \[Shantha Biotechnics; Hyderabad, India\]) that are pre-qualified by the World Health Organization (WHO) for procurement by United Nations (UN) agencies. Each of these vaccines requires a two-dose regimen which is difficult to implement in the face of explosive outbreaks of cholera in unsettled situations in developing countries. For this reason there is great interest in identifying a cholera vaccine that can provide rapid onset of protection following the ingestion of just a single oral dose.

This Phase 2 randomized, observer-blinded and subject-blinded clinical trial to be conducted in Bamako, Mali will assess the immunogenicity of the 10\^8 cfu versus the 10\^9 cfu formulation of PaxVax-manufactured CVD 103-HgR.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To elicit a significant rise in serum Inaba vibriocidal antibody after a single vaccination14 days

A comparison of the ability of a single ≥2 x10E9 cfu oral dose versus a single ≥2 x10E8 cfu oral dose of PXVX0200 (CVD 103-HgR) versus placebo to elicit a significant (\> 4-fold) rise in serum Inaba vibriocidal antibody 14 days after vaccination, compared to baseline

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To measure antibody response for a 10E8 dose and 10E9 dose of PXVX0200 oral vaccine14 days

To compare the ability of a single ≥2 x108 cfu dose of PXVX0200 (CVD 103-HgR) or ≥2 x109 oral dose of PXVX0200 (CVD 103-HgR) versus Shanchol™ to elicit serum Inaba vibriocidal antibody mean fold rise (compared to baseline titer) and GMT

To plot the kinetics of the serum Inaba Vibriocidal antibody responseBaseline and post-vaccination time point.

To plot the kinetics of the serum Inaba vibriocidal antibody response after ingestion of a single oral dose of PXVX0200 (CVD 103-HgR) containing ≥2 x10E8 cfu or ≥2 x10E9 cfu versus Shanchol™. (With GMT on the Y axis and time points on the X axis, the GMTs at baseline and at each post-vaccination time point will be connected as a line graph).

Assess fecal shedding of PXVX0200Day 1-3, day 7 and day 14

Shedding of CVD 103-HgR in stool as determined by stool culture (whole specimen or rectal swab)

Compare rate of diarrhea7 days

To compare the rate of diarrhea (≥ 4 loose stools within 24 hours) following administration of each vaccine regimen versus placebo over 7 days of follow-up
