Safety and Immunogenicity of a Recombinant Poliomyelitis Vaccine (rPV) in Comparison With IPOL Vaccine in Healthy Adults

June 30, 2026 updated by: Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd.

A Phase 1, Double-blinded, Randomised, Active Controlled, Clinical Trial to Assess the Reactogenicity, Safety and Immunogenicity of a Recombinant Poliomyelitis Vaccine (rPV) in Comparison With IPOL Vaccine in Healthy Adults

The primary purpose of this study is to test a new experimental recombinant Poliomyelitis vaccine (rPV) in comparison to the commercially available inactivated poliovirus vaccine. The design of the study is double-blinded, randomised and active controlled. The active controlled product is considered the commercially available vaccine (IPOL).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study is a double-blinded, randomised, active controlled, Phase 1 clinical study, to determine the safety, tolerability, and reactogenicity of Serum Institute of India Pvt Ltd (SIIPL) rPV vaccine in comparison to the commercially available inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPOL®, Sanofi) in up to 36 healthy adults aged between 18 and 60 years. This study will be conducted at a single study site in Australia.

Participants will be randomised in a 2:1 ratio, to receive either investigational vaccine (rPV) or comparator vaccine (IPOL), respectively. The study vaccine will be administered as a single intramuscular (IM) injection into the deltoid muscle of the non-dominant upper arm. The participants will be followed for 30 days post vaccination.
