September 12, 2017 updated by: Ali Faisal Saleem, Aga Khan University

Intradermal Administration of Fractional Dose of Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine Using Intradermal Adapters vs. BCG Syringe: Community Based Randomized Control Trial in Pakistan

The investigators will assess the usability and immune response following fractional dose inactivated polio virus vaccine (fIPV) administration with two novel intradermal adapters (ID adapter by West Pharmaceutical services Inc. and Star Intradermal syringe by Star Syringe Ltd.) and compare the response with the one achieved with fIPV administered with traditional BCG needle syringe.

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.

Detailed Description

The study will be conducted in following two phases.

  1. Phase I: Ergonometric evaluation and serology: Phase I is based on community based randomized controlled trial with three arms. List of households with child aged 6-12 months will be retrieved from demographic surveillance system. Train CHWs will visit the household and provide relevant information regarding the study to the parents. The children of the parents who provide written informed consent will be screened for eligibility and enrolled into the study. The children accompanied with parents/guardians will be carried to the primary health center of the Dept. of pediatrics and child health, AKU. Baseline 3ml of blood will be collected by trained study phlebotomist in EDT tubes and will be transported to infectious disease research laboratory (IDRL) at AKU. A sample of 450 children will be randomized using sealed envelopes into one of the three study arms. Arm 1, will receive fIPV using WestPharma device, arm 2 will receive fIPV using Star ID syringe and arm 3 will receive fIPV using BCG syringe. The child will be observed for 30 minutes for any adverse event. The research Assistants will interview the parents to fill the socio-demographic questionnaire and vaccinators will fill ergonometric and injection quality questionnaires. The child will be followed after 28 days (4 weeks) of enrollment and another 3ml of blood will be collected by trained phlebotomist. Details of the visit will be recorded in follow-up questionnaire. Both baseline and endline blood samples will be tested for immune response against polio virus 1,2 and 3.
  2. Phase II: Pilot campaign demonstration: In this phase, investigators will conduct a door to door campaign in the high risk community to provide fIPV using either WestPharma device or Star ID syringe or BCG needle syringe. In this campaign, any child less than 5 years of age, living in the study area and whose parents provide verbal consent will receive intradermal injection of fIPV using any of the three devices by the trained research assistants. This will be a one day campaign in coordination with provincial polio emergency operation center (EOC). About 300 children will receive fIPV using any of the three devices.

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

6 months to 1 year (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Children aged 6-12 months living in four peri-urban slums of Bin Qasim Town, Karachi (Rehri Goth, Bhains Colony, Ali Akber Shah, Ibrahim Hydri).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Child found acutely ill at the time of enrolment and requiring emergent medical care/hospitalization.
  • Refusal of blood testing.
  • Any contraindication for ID injection.

  • A diagnosis or suspicion of immunodeficiency disorder (either in the participant or in a member of the immediate family.

    • e.g. several early infant deaths, household member on chemotherapy) will render the newborn ineligible for the study.

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
Difference in immune response against poliovirus type 1, 2 and 3 after 28 days of administration of fractional dose IPV
Time Frame: up to day 28.
Seropositivity is defined as reciprocal titers of poliovirus neutralizing antibodies >8; seroconversion is defined as the change from seronegative to seropositive (from reciprocal titer of <8 to >8); and boosting is defined as >4-fold increase in titers. In this study, "immune response" combines both boosting and seroconversion.
up to day 28.

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
Difference in bleb size after the intradermal injection among three arms
Time Frame: immediately after injection
The bleb size will measured immediately after the administration of injection using the millimeter scale.
immediately after injection
Difference in vaccine loss after the intradermal injection among three arms
Time Frame: immediately after injection
The measurement is performed by blotting the skin with filter paper to collect liquid that was not delivered into the skin or leaked out after injection. The wet spot on the filter paper will be circled and the diameter of the circle compared to a reference template to quantify the amount of liquid present into the following categories: 0 μl, 0 to 5 μl, 5 to 10 μl, 10 to 20 μl, 20 to 40 μl, more than 40 μl.
immediately after injection
Difference in local adverse events
Time Frame: within 30 minutes after injection
local adverse events include redness, itching, etc.
within 30 minutes after injection
