简要总结
This study is designed to evaluate the lot consistency (using three consecutively manufactured lots), safety, and ability of the AV7909 anthrax vaccine to generate an immune response in healthy adults and compare the response to that induced by the currently licensed vaccine, BioThrax®, (Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed; AVA) for post-exposure of anthrax disease.
详细描述
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group trial designed to evaluate the lot consistency (using three consecutively manufactured lots), immunogenicity, and safety of AV7909 administered in healthy adults for an indication of postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) of anthrax.
Healthy adults between 18 and 65 years of age (inclusive) will sign and date an informed consent form and then be screened for eligibility for participation in the study 2 to 28 days prior to randomization. Participants meeting the entry criteria will be randomized 2:2:2:1 to one of four study groups on Day 1. Randomization will be stratified by site.
Participants will be evaluated for safety through Day 64 [or the early withdrawal visit (EWV)], as assessed by clinical laboratory tests (hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis), monitoring of Adverse Events (AE) including Serious Adverse Events (SAE) and Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI), vital signs, and physical examinations. Adverse Events of Special Interest are adverse events associated with autoimmune disease as defined by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, and might represent a safety signal for vaccine-associated autoimmunity. Reactogenicity (solicited systemic and injection site reactions) will be assessed daily by the participants using electronic diaries (e-diaries) after each vaccination.
Information on the use of medications will be collected at each study visit. In addition, blood samples for auto-antibody assessment will be taken at Day 1 predose and Day 64 (or Early Withdrawal Visit).
Participants who receive at least one dose of vaccine but who for any reason discontinue vaccinations prematurely will be asked to participate in the further planned study visits up to Day 64 for safety assessment only.

结局指标
主要结局
Percentage of AV7909 Participants and BioThrax Participants With TNA NF50 ≥0.29 at Day 64
时间窗: Day 64 (seven weeks after second AV7909 vaccination; five weeks after third BioThrax vaccination)
Proportion of AV7909 participants (in each AV7909 study groups) and BioThrax participants who achieved TNA NF50 ≥0.29 at Day 64. Non-inferiority of AV7909 vaccine to BioThrax vaccine at Day 64 was assessed as determined by the two-sided lower bound for the 95% CI of the difference in the percentage of AV7909 participants (three lots pooled) with a TNA NF50 ≥0.29 and the percentage of BioThrax participants with a TNA NF50 ≥0.29 being greater than -15%.
Percentage of Participants in AV7909 Lot 1, Lot 2 and Lot 3 Groups Achieving a TNA NF50 ≥0.56 on Day 64
时间窗: Day 64 (seven weeks after second AV7909 vaccination)
Proportion of participants with TNA NF50 ≥0.56 at Day 64 in each AV7909 study groups (Lot 1, Lot 2, Lot 3). The assessment of the immune response in each study group was pre-defined as the lower bound of the two-sided 95% CI to be ≥40% for the percentage of AV7909 participants in each of the three lots achieving a TNA NF50 ≥0.56 at seven weeks after second AV7909 vaccination (Day 64).
Percentage of AV7909 Participants Achieving a TNA NF50 ≥0.56 on Day 64
时间窗: Day 64 (seven weeks after second AV7909 vaccination)
Percentage of AV7909 participants (from all three AV7909 study groups pooled) achieving a TNA NF50 ≥0.56 on Day 64 (seven weeks after second AV7909 vaccination). The assessment of the immune response in AV7909 participants was pre-defined as the lower bound of the two-sided 95% CI for proportion of AV7909 participants with TNA NF50 ≥0.56 at Day 64 ≥40%.
Incidence of Serious Adverse Events
时间窗: Day 1 though Day 394
Number of AV7909 participants or BioThrax participants who received at least one vaccination and reported serious adverse event(s) (SAEs) from the time of the first vaccination on Day 1 through Day 394.
Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Toxin Neutralizing Antibody (TNA) 50% Neutralization Factor (NF50) at Day 64
时间窗: Day 64 (seven weeks after second AV7909 vaccination)
GMT of TNA NF50 at Day 64 in AV7909 study groups (Lots 1, 2 and 3) and BioThrax group. The outcome measure in AV7909 study groups was assessed for AV7909 lot-to-lot consistency, which was based on GMT TNA NF50 response at Day 64, wherein the 95% confidence interval (CI) for ratios of geometric mean titer (GMT) of TNA NF50 at Day 64 (seven weeks after second AV7909 vaccination) for each of the three AV7909 lot-to-lot comparisons had to be within equivalence margin of 0.5 and 2.0.
