简要总结
In this challenge study, the bioconjugate candidate vaccine Shigella4V2 will be tested for its ability to induce an immune response that protects healthy adult volunteers from infection with a wild-type Shigella sonnei strain compared to participants receiving placebo.
详细描述
The tetravalent Shigella4V2 bioconjugate vaccine candidate will be tested for safety and preliminary efficacy in a Phase 2b controlled human infection model (CHIM) study at three sites in the United States. This trial will be conducted as a parallel-group, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of two injections of Shigella4V2 in healthy Shigella naïve participants 18-50 years of age, with the second injection administered one month before challenge with S. sonnei 53G strain. It will have two steps:
- Step 1, a dose confirmation step, in which a first injection of Shigella4V2 (high dose or low dose, adjuvanted with Alhydrogel) will be administered alongside a placebo arm (phosphate-buffered saline) at a ratio of 2:2:1. A second injection of either Shigella4V2 low dose or placebo will be administered about 6 months after the first injection.
- Step 2, in which participants will be randomized to the Shigella4V2 dose selected after Step 1 or to placebo at a ratio of 1:1. Participants will receive two injections, 28 days apart. One month after the second injection, they will be challenged with 1500 CFU of the virulent Shigella sonnei strain 53G.
