A Randomized Clinical Trial in Adults and Newborns to Compare the Safety, Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity of BCG Administration Via a Disposable Syringe Jet Injector (DSJI) to BCG Administration Via Syringe and Needle
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Bioject ID Pen and Needle and syringe for Tuberculosis. Completed, enrolled 96 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The study is designed to test the hypothesis that BCG administration via jet injector will produce a comparable immune response and that there will be no significant differences in safety or reactogenicity between BCG administration via jet injector and needle and syringe. The primary objectives of this study are to... 1. Compare the safety and reactogenicity of BCG administered intradermally by a jet injector device in adults and infants, to BCG administered intradermally by needle and syringe; 2. Compare the specific T cell immunity in neonates vaccinated with BCG via the jet injector device to infants vaccinated with BCG via needle and syringe.
