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

A Phase 1, randomized,double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study of Nexvax2, in adult subjects with confirmed CeD who, have been following a gluten free diet for at least 12 consecutive months prior to screening. The study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of Nexvax2 administered subcutaneously and will compare the bioavailability of subcutaneous versus intradermal administration. The study plan consists of 3 periods: a screening period of 3 to 5 weeks, a 46-day treatment period, and a 30-day post-treatment observational follow-up visit.

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 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adults 18 to 70 years of age (inclusive)
  • History of medically diagnosed Celiac Disease (CeD) that included duodenal biopsy.
  • Maintenance of gluten free diet (GFD) for at least 12 consecutive months prior to screening.
  • Willingness to consume a moderate amount of gluten on one occasion during screening.
  • Able to read and understand English.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of inflammatory bowel disease and/or microscopic colitis.
  • Any medical condition or lab abnormality that in the opinion of the investigator may interfere with study conduct or would impact the immune response (other than CeD), confound interpretation of study results, or pose an increased risk to the subject.
  • Use of immunomodulatory or immune-suppressing medical treatment during the 6 months prior to screening
  • Use of oral or parenteral immunomodulatory corticosteroids, within the 6 weeks prior to screening. Topical or inhaled corticosteroids are acceptable.
  • Receipt of any investigational drug or participation in another clinical study within 6 months prior to screening.
  • Females who are lactating or pregnant
  • Receipt of any vaccine within 1 week prior to planned first day of the treatment period.

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 Nexvax 2 administered subcutaneously (SQ)
Time Frame: Treatment Period: 7 weeks
Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) will be summarized by treatment group and treatment arm, severity (grades as defined in CTCAE, Version 4.03), relationship to IP, and phase of treatment and presented as the number and percentage of patients reporting an event(s) as well as the number of events reported.
Treatment Period: 7 weeks
Evaluate bioavailability of the constituents of Nexvax2 after SQ versus intradermal (ID) administration
Time Frame: Treatment Period: 7 weeks
Blood draws for plasma concentration
Treatment Period: 7 weeks

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.

Time Frame
Evaluate the pharmacodynamics (PD) of the maintenance dose levels of Nexvax2 administered SQ and ID
Time Frame: Treatment Period: 7 weeks
Blood draw collected for cytokines
Treatment Period: 7 weeks
