研究概览
简要总结
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive GEN-004 with adjuvant or placebo. Each subject will receive up to 3 doses at 4 week intervals.
Following the third dose, subjects will be inoculated intranasally with S. pneumoniae serotype 6B. Nasal washes to identify S. pneumoniae colonization will be obtained pre-inoculation, and then 2, 7 and 14 days after inoculation.
Subjects will also be monitored for safety and tolerability throughout the dosing period, and then for 12 months after their last dose.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of GEN-004 in reducing colonization rates and magnitude of colonization following the S. pneumoniae challenge.

- •Positive serologic test for HIV-1 or hepatitis C infection; positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg).
- •Asthma (on regular medication) or other respiratory disease.
- •Immunocompromised individuals, including those receiving corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive agents.
- •Presence or history of auto-immune disease (refer to Appendix 4) regardless of current treatment.
- •No antibiotic treatment within 1 week of inoculation
- •Previous involvement in EHPC study inoculated with pneumococcal bacteria
- •In any other clinical trial unless in observational stage or follow-up
- •Diabetes, type 1 or type
- •Other active, uncontrolled co-morbidities that, in the opinion of the Investigator would make the subject unsuitable for the study or unable to comply with the study requirements.
