Official title
A Phase 2a/2b, Randomized, Double-blinded, Placebo-controlled, Trial to Assess the Safety, Immunogenicity and Efficacy of Inactivated Shigella Flexneri 2a Whole Cell (Sf2aWC) Vaccine Administered With and Without Double Mutant E. Coli Heat Labile Toxin (dmLT) in Healthy Adult Subjects
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This is a research study about an experimental (investigational) oral inactivated whole cell Shigella flexneri 2a killed vaccine (Sf2aWC) and an adjuvant called dmLT. Sf2aWC is a killed vaccine that is being made to prevent disease from Shigella., which causes bloody, watery diarrhea. An adjuvant is something that is added to a vaccine to make it work better. The purpose of the study is to see if the vaccine will protect people from Shigella infection with or without an adjuvant called dmLT. About 72 healthy adults, ages 18-45, will participate in this study. The study will compare 2 different vaccination groups and 1 control group. Volunteers have an equal chance to be in any of the 3 groups. Study procedures include: stool samples, blood samples and documenting side effects. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for about 6 months.
