A Phase 1/2A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Immunogenicity, and Shedding of MEDI-560 in Infants 1 to < 12 Months of Age

Phase 1

Terminated

Conditions: Healthy

Interventions: Biological: MEDI-560
Biological: Placebo

Registration Number: NCT00508651

Lead Sponsor: MedImmune LLC

Brief Summary: The primary objective of this study is to describe the safety and tolerability of 3 doses of MEDI-560 at 10\^5 TCID50 when administered to children 6 to \< 12 months of age who are HPIV3 (human parainfluenza virus type 3) seronegative at baseline and to infants 1 to \< 3 months of age regardless of baseline serostatus.

Detailed Description: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multidose Phase 1/2a multicenter study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, viral shedding, immunogenicity, and genotypic and phenotypic stability of MEDI-560 in infants 1 to \< 12 months of age. Three doses of MEDI-560 at a dosage level of 10\^5 TCID50 were administered 0, 2, and 4 months after enrollment to a 30-participant cohort of 6 to \< 12 month-old HPIV3 seronegative children randomized 2:1 to MEDI-560 vs placebo. A second 160-participant cohort of 1 to \< 3 month-old infants not screened for baseline serostatus was planned but was not opened to enrollment for reasons other than safety. Participants were followed for safety through 180 days post last dose. Nasal wash specimens were collected at screening and Days 7, 12, and 28 following each dose and during unscheduled illness visits to assess vaccine virus shedding and genotypic and phenotypic stability of any shed vaccine virus. Blood was collected at screening to determine eligibility and prior to Dose 1 for baseline serostatus. Blood for assessment of antibodies to HPIV3 was collected approximately 7 to 12 days after Dose 1 and Dose 3 and 1 month after each dose for antibodies to PIV3.
