简要总结
To define the safety of vaccination with APSV as determined by the reactogenicity of the vaccine and the development of expected and un-expected adverse events associated with vaccination.
To assess the proportion of individuals who respond to vaccination with a "take" (those who form a visible lesion at the injection site) 6 to 8 days after the vaccination.
详细描述
The study will be a four-center, randomized, dose finding trial to evaluate safety, preliminary efficacy, and immunogenicity of Aventis Pasteur smallpox vaccine (APSV) in healthy, vaccinia-naive adults. Four concentrations of APSV, derived from 2 lots of vaccine, will be tested; ranging from 10 (exponent 6 pfu per ml) to 10 (exponent 7.5 pfu per ml). Four concentrations of Dryvax (ranging from 10 exp 6 per ml to 10 exp 8 per ml) will be evaluated as a positive control. This study is designed to assess the feasibility of the use of APSV and dilutions of APSV in an emergency vaccination scenario. The study will be conducted in two phases. The initial phase will consist of a single-center, randomized, open-label study in 45 subjects to evaluate the safety and approximate the take rate of undiluted APSV (two lots APSV plus a Dryvax control arm: n=15 per arm). A 14 day post vaccination safety follow-up will be completed for all subjects vaccinated in the initial phase prior to initiation of the second phase of the study with an additional 285 subjects. All subjects will be followed for 56 days post vaccination with a clinic visit at day 180 for stage 1 subjects and a follow-up phone call at day 180 for stage 2 subjects. The expansion phase of the study will be conducted at three additional sites.

入选标准
- •Age: 18-32 (Volunteers over 32 years of age are not included since they usually are not vaccinia-naive.) Children are excluded due to concerns of safety, including autoinoculation.
- •Acceptable medical history by screening evaluation form and brief assessment.
- •Negative urine pregnancy test for women.
- •Negative history of smallpox vaccination.
- •Negative ELISA for HIV or negative Western blot for volunteers who have a positive ELISA and have participated in an HIV vaccine trial.
- •Availability for follow-up for planned duration of the study (6 months). Note: Stage 1 - clinic visit at Day 180+/-15 days, Stage 2 - phone call at Day 180 +/- 15 days.
- •If the volunteer is female, she agrees to use acceptable contraception and not become pregnant for the duration of the study.
- •Willing to sign informed consent.
- •Adequate renal functions as defined as a serum creatinine of 1.5 mg/dL, urine protein < 100 mg/dL or negative proteinuria, and a calculated creatinine clearance > 55 mL/min based on the following formulas: For males ((140 minus age in years) x weight in kg)/72 x serum creatinine). For females: 0.85 x ((140 minus age in years) x weight in kg)/72 x serum creatinine). Note: Renal function is measured to ensure subjects could meet criteria for use of cidofovir if needed.
