Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of four different doses of cytomegalovirus vaccines in healthy adults.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With Local and Systemic Adverse Events During Seven-Day Follow-Up Period [Day of vaccine administration (days 0, 56, 168) and six subsequent days]

  2. Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event [Following each of the 3 injections of study vaccine, the occurrence of adverse events was captured during a 28-day follow-up period as well as through Day 336 or early withdrawal.]

  3. Number of Participants With Any Serious Adverse Event [Through Day 336 or early withdrawal]

  4. Number of Participants With Any Hematological or Biochemical Laboratory Abnormality [Through Day 336 or early withdrawal]

    Blood and urine samples were collected at screening for all evaluations with additional blood samples obtained on Days 28, 56, 84, 168, 196, 280, and 336. The following clinical laboratory evaluations were performed: Biochemistry: alanine aminotransferase; aspartate aminotransferase; creatinine; blood urea nitrogen; Hematology: neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, hemoglobin, platelet count, white blood cell count; Infection status: HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and cytomegalovirus; and Urinalysis: blood, glucose, protein.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Geometric Mean Titer of Antibody Binding to CMV gB [Through Day 336 or early withdrawal]

  2. Geometric Mean Titer of Antibody Avidity Index Value Against gB [Through Day 336 or early withdrawal]

    To measure the avidity of responses against CMV gB protein, a standard ELISA assay using recombinant gB protein which did or did not include treatment with 5M urea for 30 minutes of samples after sera had been incubated with recombinant protein. The reported value, or Avidity Index, represents the percent of signal measured in ELISA after treatment with urea relative to samples not exposed to urea.

  3. Geometric Mean Titer of Neutralizing Antibody Against CMV Infection of Fibroblast Cells [Through Day 196 or early withdrawal]

  4. Geometric Mean Titer of Neutralizing Antibody Against CMV Infection of Epithelial Cells [Through Day 336 or early withdrawal]

Title Geometric Mean Titer of Antibody Avidity Index Value Against gB
Description To measure the avidity of responses against CMV gB protein, a standard ELISA assay using recombinant gB protein which did or did not include treatment with 5M urea for 30 minutes of samples after sera had been incubated with recombinant protein. The reported value, or Avidity Index, represents the percent of signal measured in ELISA after treatment with urea relative to samples not exposed to urea.
