Safety and Immunogenicity of Artificial Invaplex (Shigella Flexneri 2a InvaplexAR)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is an open-label, dose-escalating Phase 1 investigation of S. flexneri 2a InvaplexAR vaccine. A total of up to 40 subjects will receive one of four S. flexneri 2a InvaplexAR vaccine doses. The vaccine will be administered intranasally (without adjuvant).

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
The vaccine will be administered on Days 0,14, and 28. Volunteers (10 per group [8 minimum]) will receive the same dose at each vaccination dependent upon group assignment. Groups will be divided according to the table below. An interval no less than 1 week will separate the third dose of a group from the first dose of the next group (receiving an increased InvaplexAR dose). Blood, stool, and saliva specimens will be collected at pre-specified intervals to examine systemic and mucosal vaccine antigen-specific immune responses. Ocular tear samples will be collected in groups C and D. Vaccine safety will be actively monitored during vaccination and for 28 days following the third vaccine dose. The decision to advance to the next dose level is based on the safety assessment (not immunogenicity). A dose level with no occurrence of stopping criteria in the 7 days following the last vaccine dose will prompt moving to the next higher level. All safety data will be summarized and reviewed with the research monitor prior to dose escalation. In addition, a report of all safety data will be provided to the sponsor's safety office for informational purposes.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of Treatment Related Adverse Events [166 days]
Number of adverse events related to the vaccine for each arm
- Antibody Titers Against IgG and IgA Immunizing Antigens [At screening and Days 0, 14, 28, 35, 42, and 56]
Serum samples will be assayed for antibody titers against the immunizing antigens LPS, IpaB, IpaC, and S. flexneri 2a Invaplex at screening, and Days 0, 14, 28, 35, 42, and 56 for 36 subjects. Previously established high-titer specimens will be included on each plate to track day to day interassay variation. For each antigen, pre- and post-vaccination serum samples will be assayed side-by-side. The antibody titer assigned to each sample will represent the geometric mean of duplicate tests performed on 2 different days. Reciprocal endpoint titers < 5 will be assigned a value of 2.5 for computational purposes. Seroconversion will be defined as a > 4-fold increase in endpoint titer between pre-and post-vaccination samples AND a post-vaccination reciprocal titer >10.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- IgG and IgA Antigen-Specific Antibody Secreting Cell (ASC) Mucosal Responses [56 Days]
ASC responses were assessed using isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). For each antigen, pre- and post-vaccination samples were tested on the same plates for total and vaccine-specific numbers. The ASC responses indirectly reflect intestinal immune responses through measurement of antigen-specific B-lymphocytes in systemic circulation before homing to gut effector sites. An ASC response was defined as > 10 ASCs above baseline.
- IgG and IgA Antigen-Specific Antibody Lymphocyte Supernatant (ALS) Mucosal Responses [56 Days]
ALS responses were assessed using isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). For each antigen, pre- and post-vaccination samples were tested on the same plates for total and vaccine-specific numbers. The ALS responses indirectly reflect intestinal immune responses through measurement of antigen-specific B-lymphocytes in systemic circulation before homing to gut effector sites. An ALS response was defined as a ≥ 4-fold increase over baseline ALS titers.
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Adverse Events
Time Frame | Through study completion, an average of 8 months | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Adverse Event Reporting Description | Vaccine-related (possibly, probably, definitely) surveyed signs and symptoms of all study subjects receiving at least one dose of investigational product was assessed through targeted physical exams, symptom surveys, and other adverse events (AE) monitoring. Subjects were observed in clinic for 30 minutes, 24 hours, and 7days post vaccination to review their symptom diaries and to report any AEs. All vaccine-related and unrelated (not related, unlikely) AEs were reported. | |||||||
