Official title

A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Randomized Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Aventis Pasteur's Smallpox Vaccine, USP (APSV) in Vaccinia-Naive Adults.

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

The study seeks to define, with precision, the safety and efficacy of APSV, two dose potencies of one lot in vaccinia-naive adults. The ability of this vaccine to induce a classic �take� as defined by formation of a lesion at the injection site consistent with the �Jennerian� process (see Appendix A) and vaccine specific immune responses will be assessed. The local cutaneous lesion is considered to be a surrogate for clinical effectiveness of live, replicating smallpox vaccines. Neutralizing antibody formation has been correlated with takes for the Dryvax vaccine and is considered to be cross-protective for other orthopoxviruses, including variola. The study also seeks to characterize preliminarily the cell mediated immune (CMI) response to APSV (as compared to Dryvax).
