Study to Evaluate Safety and Immunogenicity of nOPV2 at Different Intervals in Infants

April 1, 2024 updated by: Fidec Corporation

A Phase III Open-label Randomized Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of nOPV2 at Different Intervals of Administration in Infants

Study to determine immunogenicity and safety following administration of 2 doses of novel oral poliovirus vaccine type 2 (nOPV2) given at different intervals of 1 week or 2 weeks or the standard 4-week interval in infants

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

This will be a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label, parallel-group Phase III study in healthy infants aged 6 to 8 weeks who have never been vaccinated against poliomyelitis. Approximately 900 infants will be included in the study and randomized with a 1:1:1 ratio to the following treatment groups:

  • Group A: approximately 300 subjects to receive 2 doses of nOPV2 administered 1 week apart, at Day 0 and Day 7;
  • Group B: approximately 300 subjects to receive 2 doses of nOPV2 administered 2 weeks apart, at Day 0 and Day 14;
  • Group C (control group): approximately 300 subjects to receive 2 doses of nOPV2 administered 4 weeks apart, at Day 0 and Day 28. A total of 4 on-site visits are planned. Approximately 7 days after each administration of study vaccine, a phone call or on-site visit will be performed to monitor subjects' safety and review with the subject's parent(s)/guardian(s) any solicited AEs reported in the electronic diary card. All subjects will have a safety follow-up phone call 6 months after the last dose of study vaccine.

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

1 month to 1 month (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Infants aged 6 to 8 weeks with birth weight > 2,500 g.
  2. Healthy infants without obvious medical conditions like immunodeficiency diseases, severe congenital malformations, severe neurological diseases or any other disease that require high doses of corticosteroids or immunotherapies that preclude the subject from participating in the study as established by the medical history and physical examination.
  3. Written informed consent obtained from 1 or 2 parent(s) or legal guardian(s) as per country regulations.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Infants who have received previous vaccination against poliomyelitis.
  2. Infants with anyone under 5 years of age in their household (living in the same house or apartment unit) who does not have the complete "age appropriate" vaccination status with respect to poliovirus vaccines at the time of study vaccine administration according to the Dominican Republic National Immunization Program (NIP).
  3. Infants having a member of their household (living in the same house or apartment unit) who is under 6 months of age at the moment of study vaccine administration.
  4. Infants having a member of their household (living in the same house or apartment unit) who has received oral poliomyelitis vaccine (OPV) in the previous 3 months before study vaccine administration.
  5. Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or known immunodeficient condition including human immunodeficiency virus infection in the potential participant or any member of the subject's household.
  6. Family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
  7. Major congenital defects or serious uncontrolled chronic illness (neurologic, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, or endocrine).
  8. Known allergy to any component of the study vaccine or to any antibiotics that share molecular composition with the nOPV2 vaccine.
  9. Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products since birth or planned administration during the study period.
  10. Acute severe febrile illness on the day of vaccination deemed by the Investigator to be a contraindication for vaccination (the child can be included at a later time if within age window and all inclusion criteria are met.).
  11. Subject who, in the opinion of the Investigator, is unlikely to comply with the protocol or is inappropriate to be included in the study for the safety or the benefit-risk ratio of the subject.
  12. Infants from multiple births or born prematurely (< 37 weeks of gestation)
