A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of an Oral Inactivated Whole Cell Shigella Flexneri 2a Vaccine in Healthy Adult Subjects
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Vaccine: 2.6±0.8 x 10^8 vp/mL, 1 dose, Vaccine: 2.6±0.8 x 10^9 vp/mL, 3 doses, and 3 other interventions for Shigellosis. Completed, enrolled 82 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This is a research study about an experimental (investigational) oral inactivated whole cell Shigella flexneri 2a killed vaccine (Sf2aWC). Sf2aWC is a killed vaccine that is being made to prevent disease from Shigella., which causes bloody, watery diarrhea. Infants and children living in developing countries experience the greatest consequences of this disease. The purpose of this study is to find a dose of the vaccine that is safe, tolerable, and develops an immune response. About 82 healthy adults, ages 18-45, will participate in this study. This study will require volunteers to stay in the research facility for several nights for the first dose. Participants in Cohorts 2, 3, and 4 will not be required to stay overnight for the second and third doses. Participants will be assigned to receive 1 of 4 vaccine doses by mouth. Study procedures include: stool samples, blood samples and documenting side effects. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for about 8 months.
