A Randomized, Observer-Blind, Controlled Phase 1/2 Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of Different Doses of a Stand-alone Trivalent, Inactivated Poliomyelitis Vaccine From Sabin Strains in Healthy Infants, With a Safety and Tolerability Age-Step Down Lead-in in Healthy Adults Followed by Healthy Toddlers
A Randomized, Observer-Blind, Controlled Phase 1/2 Trial to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of Different Doses of a Stand-alone Trivalent, Inactivated Poliomyelitis Vaccine From Sabin Strains in Healthy Infants, With a Safety and Tolerability Age-Step Down Lead-in in Healthy Adults Followed by Healthy Toddlers
The purpose of this study is to select the optimal antigen dosage of the three Sabin poliovirus strains (types 1, 2, and 3) entering the composition of the stand-alone trivalent Sabin-based inactivated poliomyelitis vaccine (sIPV) to take forward into advanced stage studies. The selection will be carried out comparing the three sIPV study arms based on the safety and tolerability profile after each dose of primary immunization and the immune response to poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 for both Sabin and Salk strains, after the final dose of a three dose primary immunization series (Day 85).
The vaccine being tested in this study is called sIPV. sIPV is used to prevent poliomyelitis. This study will look at the safety, tolerability of sIPV in healthy adults, toddlers and infants as well as safety and immunogenicity in toddlers and infants. .
The study will enroll approximately 340 participants including 40 adults, 60 toddlers and 240 infants. Adult participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups-which will remain undisclosed to study doctor and participants during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):
Toddler participants will be randomly assigned to one of the following treatment groups:
Infant participants will be randomly assigned to one of following treatment groups:
This is a multicentre trial. The overall time to participate in this study for adult is 8 days, for toddlers is 183 days and infants is 547 days.
