Safety and Immunogenicity Study of Adenovirus-vectored, Intranasal Pandemic Influenza Vaccine.

December 31, 2015 updated by: Altimmune, Inc.

A Phase I, Dose-Ranging Safety and Immunogenicity Study of an Adenovirus-vectored Intranasal, Pandemic (Hemagglutinin H5) Influenza Vaccine, ADhVN1203/04.H5, in Healthy Adults

The purpose of this study is to test the recombinant vaccine for safety and immunogenicity in healthy adults volunteers. Single dose, intranasally administered vaccine using an adenovirus-recombinant vector has provided a safe route for inducing protection in animals against pandemic influenza in preclinical studies.

The vaccine is non-replicating, tissue culture based and designed for intranasal delivery.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Objectives:

The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of the AdhVN1203/04.H5 vaccine when administered intranasally in two doses with an interval of 28 days in healthy adults 19-49 years of age.

The secondary objective is to evaluated the immunogenicity of the AdhVN1203/04.H5 vaccine at three different doses (10e8, 10e9 and 10e10 viral particles) when administered intranasally in two doses with an interval of 28 days in healthy adults 19-49 years of age.
