Detailed Description
In this pilot research, the study team will use a methodology of nasal inoculation with reconstituted lyophilised N. lactamica (hereafter LyoNlac) developed in a previous, UK-based, human challenge study. This methodology and will be developed further and validated in healthy Malian adults.
A dose-ranging strategy will be used, starting with the dose identified as the standard inoculum in healthy adults in the UK, which was the dose required to induce colonisation in approximately 80% of volunteers. The dose will be escalated to a dose able to induce a similar level of colonisation in Malian adults. This study will inform the study team whether intranasal inoculation of reconstituted lyophilised Nlac (hereafter, lyoNlac), can result in immunising colonisation of adult Malian volunteers and the optimal dose to achieve this. This dose and methodology will then be used in future studies looking at the duration and immunogenicity of colonisation induced by LyoNlac in Mali.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Challenge
Challenge participants will be inoculated intranasally with reconstituted, previously lyophilised Neisseria lactamica (LyoNlac).
The initial dose will be 10^5 colony forming units and will be escalated to a maximum of 10^7 colony forming units to find the dose which successfully colonises at least 70% of volunteers.
|
Lyophilised Neisseria lactamica will be reconstituted and administered to participants intranasally.
