Study Evaluating Aerosol and Intradermal Administration of a Candidate Tuberculosis (TB) Vaccine, MVA85A, as a Way to Increase Immune Response and Avoid Anti-vector Immunity

January 27, 2016 updated by: University of Oxford

A Phase I Trial Evaluating Mucosal Administration of a Candidate TB Vaccine, MVA85A, as a Way to Induce Potent Local Cellular Immune Responses and Avoid Anti-vector Immunity

Boost vaccinations sometimes have no effect because the body has got used to the vaccine and no longer reacts to it. We are therefore investigating whether vaccinating with aerosolised MVA85A (a candidate tuberculosis vaccine) followed by a boost MVA85A intradermal vaccination (or vice versa) avoids this and increases the immune response to vaccination.

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 55 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding the planned trial vaccination date
  • Any other significant disease, disorder, or finding, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may either put the subject at risk or may influence the result of the trial or may affect the subject's ability to participate in the trial

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
Safety of 5 x 10^7 pfu dose of MVA85A administered by aerosol and compared to the same dose administered intradermally
Time Frame: 24 weeks from enrolment
Actively and passively collected data on adverse events
24 weeks from enrolment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Immunogenicity of 5 x 10^7 pfu dose of MVA85A administered by aerosol followed by the same dose administered intradermally, compared to the same dose of MVA85A given intradermally and boosted by aerosol
Time Frame: 24 weeks from enrolment
