Detailed Description

The clinical trial study of the "GamTBvac" vaccine against the tuberculosis is a comparative placebo-controlled study with a two-fold increase of an applied dose among healthy volunteers aged 18-49 years. The product "GamTBvac" is a lyophilized substance consisted of the purified recombinant subunit antigens of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, that is applied for the preparing of the solution for a subcutaneous administration. Currently the study is at the first phase.

The aims of the study are: a) to confirm the safety of the product in the healthy volunteers; b) to select the optimal administration dose; c) to evaluate of the immunogenicity of the vaccine; d) to investigate the immune cell memory as a response to the vaccination.

The total number of the volunteers in the study is 60:

  1. at the first stage to estimate the safety and portable of the vaccine, two groups of volunteers each includes 12 persons got the single decreased dose (0.25 of the planned dose for regular administration) of the vaccine (the first group, 12 persons), and the 0.5 ml of the placebo (the second group, 12 persons);
  2. at the second stage to select the optimal dose and the scheme of the vaccine administration, additionally three groups, each consist of 12 persons of volunteers will be recruited. The first group will get double vaccination of a decreased dose (0.25 of the regular dose), the second group will get the double vaccination of a mean dose (0.5 of the regular dose), and the third one will get the double vaccination of the maximum (1.0 regular) dose.

The inclusion criteria for the volunteers of the study are: healthy males either females aged 18-49 years who have previously got the BCG vaccine. The exclusion criterion is the presence of the latent tuberculosis in the patient that is confirmed during the preliminary laboratory screening.

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.

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
The number and severity of adverse effects
Time Frame: 140 Days
Safety control: an active periodical examination of the health status of volunteers, including vital indicators, instrumental tests (ECG), laboratory blood and urine analysis (general and biochemistry). The presence, nature and severity of local and systemic reactions in different groups of volunteers, depending on the dose of vaccination, will be taken into account.
140 Days

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 control
Time Frame: 140 Days
Qualitative ELISA test for specific IgG antibodies, study of the stimulated T-cell
