A Study to Assess the Safety, Pharmacodynamics, and Immunogenicity of PXVX0047

A Phase 1 Two-Arm, Randomized, Double-blind, Active-controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Pharmacodynamics, and Immunogenicity of PXVX0047 (Adenovirus Type 4 and Type 7 Vaccine [A549 Cells], Live, Oral)

PXVX0047 (Adenovirus Type 4 and Type 7 Vaccine [A549 Cells], Live, Oral) is an investigational vaccine in development for the indication of active immunization against adenovirus infection. The primary goals of this Phase 1 study are to evaluate safety, pharmacodynamics (viral shedding), and immunogenicity of PXVX0047.

• Concomitant or planned use of other vaccines, investigational agents, cidofovir, ribavirin, or medications expected by the Investigator to have antiviral activity against adenovirus within 30 days prior to enrollment through Day 29.
• Any other condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, creates an unacceptable risk to the subject.
• Any other condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with the conduct of the study or the validity of the data.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: PXVX0047 treatment group; Subjects will receive PXVX0047 vaccine and Teva Placebo-to-Match	Biological: PXVX0047 Vaccine; PXVX0047 is a live Adenovirus Type 4 (Ad4) / Adenovirus Type 7 (Ad7) vaccine for single-dose oral administration. The Ad4 and Ad7 strains in PXVX 0047 are unattenuated strains propagated in A549 human adenocarcinomic alveolar basal epithelial cells.
Active Comparator: Teva Ad4/Ad7 treatment group; Subjects will receive Teva Ad4/Ad7 vaccine and PXVX0047 Placebo-to-Match	Biological: Teva Ad4/Ad7 Vaccine; Teva Ad4/Ad7 is a live Adenovirus Type 4 (Ad4) / Adenovirus Type 7 (Ad7) vaccine for single-dose oral administration. The Ad4 and Ad7 strains in Teva Ad4/Ad7 are unattenuated strains propagated in WI-38 human diploid fibroblast cells.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
