Safety, Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity of Vi-DT;Typhoid Conjugate Vaccine

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Typhoid
Interventions
Biological: Vi-DT
Biological: FluQuadri™
Other: 0.9% sodium chloride isotonic solution
Registration Number
NCT03527355
Lead Sponsor
International Vaccine Institute
Brief Summary

This is a randomized, observer-blinded Phase 2 study in healthy infants and toddlers 6-23 months of age at the time of the first vaccine dose.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the Vi-DT vaccine in age group 6-23months of age.

The Vi-DT vaccine is administered at 25 µg either as a single dose, or two doses given 6 months apart.

Detailed Description

This study is carried out in healthy children aged 6 to 23 months at a single site. A total of 285 participants are enrolled, 114, 114 and 57 participants are randomized to either the single dose, two-dose Vi-DT regimens or placebo/comparator group, respectively within age strata. Three age strata is 6 to less than 9 months, 9 to 12 months and 13 to 23 months. The investigators allow the 9-12 months old children to receive Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine concomitantly with Vi-DT vaccine and descriptive analysis of immune response to MMR only and to MMR and Vi-DT vaccines are performed to assess the possible immunological interference with MMR vaccine.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety endpoints: solicited and unsolicited adverse events and serious adverse eventsSolicited AE: during 7 days after each vaccination. Unsolicited AE: after the first vaccination until 4 weeks after the second vaccination. SAE will be captured after the first vaccination up to week 100 for Group A, week 96 for Group B, week 36 Group C

* Frequency (percentage) of solicited local reactions at the injection site: Pain, tenderness, erythema/redness, swelling/induration and pruritus local

* Frequency (percentage) of solicited systemic reactions: Fever, lethargy, irritability, vomiting, diarrhea, drowsiness, loss of appetite, persistent crying, rash and nasopharyngitis

* Frequency (percentage) of unsolicited adverse events

* Frequency (percentage) of serious adverse events

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Immunogenicity EndpointsAt week 28, 4 weeks after the second vaccination

Seroconversion rate of anti-Vi IgG by Geometric Mean Titers (GMT) will be measured 4 weeks after the second vaccination using an in-house ELISA assay using standardized reagents and reference serum. The level of the specific anti-Vi IgG in ELISA units for each serum sample is determined by comparison to a reference serum. The number of anti-Vi IgG positive sera will be used to calculate the seroconversion rates.
