Phase I Study to Determine the Optimal Human Challenge Dose for Norovirus GII.4 CIN-3 Batch No.: 01-16C3
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Norovirus GII.4 Challenge Pool for Gastroenteritis Norovirus. Completed, enrolled 48 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This is a safety and infectivity study of experimental human Norovirus genogroup GII.4 administered to 48 healthy non-pregnant adults, 18-49 years of age, negative for COVID-19 by antigen testing at the time of norovirus challenge. Subjects will be admitted to the Vaccine Research Center inpatient facility and challenged with a dose of human norovirus GII.4 challenge strain. The challenge study will be conducted in 3 cohorts of approximately 16 subjects each, 15 subjects will have a functional FUT-2 gene (secretor positive) and 1 subject will have a non-functional FUT-2 gene (non-secretor). Subjects in Cohort 1 will receive 3.5x10\^3 copies of norovirus, in Cohort 2 will receive 3.5x10\^4 copies of norovirus and in Cohort 3 will receive 3.5x10\^5 copies of norovirus. Based on the illness rate of subjects meeting the primary outcome measure in secretor - positive subjects of the initial cohort, the decision will be made with regards to dosing of the second and the third cohorts. Study duration is approximately 12-18 months with subject participation duration of 6-8 months. The primary objective of this study is to determine the optimal challenge dose of Norovirus GII.4 CIN-3 Batch No.: 01-16C3 to achieve illness in \> / = 50% of subjects (illness is defined as norovirus infection determined by positive Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and either: a) \> / = 3 loose or liquid stools, in a 24-hour period, b) \> / = 300 gm of loose or liquid stool in a 24-hour period or c) and/or any episode of vomiting), during the inpatient period.

Timeline
Interventions
Subjects will be NPO (nothing by mouth) for at least 90 minutes followed by ingestion of 60 mL of a 2% sodium bicarbonate solution by mouth. 2 minutes later, subjects will be administered Norovirus GII.4 CIN-3. Five minutes following administration of the challenge dose, subjects will be administered a 60 mL volume of a 2% sodium bicarbonate solution and then remain NPO for at least the next 90 minutes. Subjects will be observed during the 60 minutes after receipt of the challenge by a study team member to detect and treat any immediate adverse reactions.
