Safety and Immunogenicity Study of V710 Lyophilized Formulation (V710-004)

October 1, 2015 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Single Dose of the Lyophilized Formulation of Merck Staphylococcus Aureus Vaccine (V710) in Healthy Adults

This study is being performed to evaluate a single 60 Mcg dose of lyophilized formulation of Merck Staphylococcus aureus vaccine (V710) in healthy subjects. This study is intended to provide necessary safety and immunogenicity data for the lyophilized formulation of V710 prior to its subsequent evaluation in patients at risk for developing serious S. aureus infections.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
51

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Geometric Mean Fold-rise (GMFR) After the Administration of the Lyophilized Formulation of V710 (60 mcg).
Time Frame: Prevaccination to 14 days postvaccination
Participants whose geometric mean fold-rise (GMFR) in anti-0657n IgG was measured 14 days after a single dose of the lyophilized formulation of V710 (60 mcg) by a LUMINEX™ assay for IgG antibodies directly binding to the 0651nI S. aureus antigen. The calculation of GMFR is based on the ratio of IgG Titers (geometric mean concentrations in which the units of measure are µg/mL) prevaccination (pre)/14 days postvaccination (postvac).
Prevaccination to 14 days postvaccination

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
GMFR by Age
Time Frame: Prevaccination to 14 days postvaccination
Participants whose geometric mean fold-rise (GMFR) in anti-0657n IgG was measured among two age groups (18 to 59 years of age and 60 to 70 years of age)14 days after a single dose of the lyophilized formulation of V710 (60 Mcg) by a LUMINEX™ assay for IgG antibodies directly binding to the 0657nI S.aureus antigen. The calculation of GMFR is based on the ratio of IgG Titers (geometric mean concentrations in which the units of measure are µg/mL) pre/14 days postvac.
Prevaccination to 14 days postvaccination
GMFR in Antibody Concentration From Baseline
Time Frame: Prevaccination to Days 10, 14, 28, and 84 postvaccination
An assessment of the kinetics of the immune response in the V710 group over time from baseline measurement and all postvaccination time points (Days 10, 14, 28, and 84). The calculation of GMFR is based on the ratio of IgG Titers (geometric mean concentrations in which the units of measure are µg/mL) pre/all (10, 14, 28, and 84) days postvac.
Prevaccination to Days 10, 14, 28, and 84 postvaccination

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
