A Study To Investigate A Clostridium Difficile Vaccine In Healthy Adults Aged 50 To 85 Years, Who Will Each Receive 3 Doses Of Vaccine.

November 30, 2018 updated by: Pfizer

A Phase 1, Placebo-controlled, Randomized, Observer-blinded Trial To Evaluate The Safety, Tolerability, And Immunogenicity Of An Adjuvanted Clostridium Difficile Vaccine Administered As A 3-dose Regimen In Healthy Adults Aged 50 To 85 Years

This study will investigate a clostridium difficile vaccine in healthy adults aged 50 to 85 years, who will each receive 3 doses of vaccine. Subjects will receive their vaccine doses at either months 0, 1, and 3 or days 1, 8, and 30. Subjects will be divided into 2 age groups (50-64 and 65-85 years of age). The study will assess how safe and tolerable the vaccine is, and also look at subjects' immune response to the vaccine.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Conditions

Conditions

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.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

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

50 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Healthy male and female adults aged 50 to 85 years at enrollment

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Proven or suspected prior episode of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea.
  • Unstable chronic medical condition or disease requiring significant change in therapy or hospitalization for worsening disease within 8 weeks before receipt of study vaccine.
  • Any contraindication to vaccination or vaccine components, including previous anaphylactic reaction to any vaccine or vaccine-related components

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
Time Frame
Proportion of subjects reporting local reactions (pain, erythema, and induration) and their severity, as self reported on e-diaries.
Time Frame: 7 days after vaccination
7 days after vaccination
Proportion of subjects reporting systemic events (fever, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, new or worsening muscle pain, and new or worsening joint pain) and their severity, as self reported on e-diaries.
Time Frame: 7 days after vaccination
7 days after vaccination

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
Time Frame
Proportion of subjects in each vaccine group with neutralizing antibody levels (in Neut units/mL) greater than or equal to specified threshold(s).
Time Frame: Up to 12 months post-dose 3
Up to 12 months post-dose 3
Proportion of subjects in each vaccine group with neutralizing antibody levels, expressed as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) (in Neut units/mL).
Time Frame: Up to 12 months post-dose 3
Up to 12 months post-dose 3
Proportion of subjects in each vaccine group with a greater than or equal to 4 and higher fold-rises in neutralizing antibody levels (in Neut units/mL).
Time Frame: Up to 12 months post-dose 3
Up to 12 months post-dose 3

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.
