National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)·interventional·Posted Feb 19, 2007·Updated Sep 19, 2025

In Brief

A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Live vaccinia virus vaccine, MVA Smallpox Vaccine, and 1 other intervention for Smallpox. Completed, enrolled 226 participants across 7 sites.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an investigational smallpox vaccine, called IMVAMUNE®, with respect to safety and immune (body's defense system) response. Participants will include healthy adults, age 18 or older born after 1971, who have not had smallpox vaccine before. Participants were originally assigned to 1 of 5 groups. In July 2007, a hold was placed on the Dryvax® groups and the study was modified. Participants, will be assigned by chance to one of 3 groups to be vaccinated twice with IMVAMUNE® vaccine or placebo (inactive substance) in Groups A and B, or to receive a single vaccination with IMVAMUNE® or placebo in Group F. Participants will complete a memory aid (diary) for 15 days following vaccination. Blood samples will be collected. Participants may participate for up to 425 days.
