Official title
A Phase 2b, Double-Blind, Placebo Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Intramuscularly Administered CssBA+dmLT Against Moderate-severe Diarrhea in a Controlled Human Infection Model With Enterotoxigenic Escherichia Coli (ETEC) Strain B7A in Healthy Adults
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The study is designed to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the intramuscular administration of a CS6 based vaccine (CssBA) against ETEC co-administered with double mutant labile toxin (dmLT) in preventing moderate-severe diarrhea (MSD) following challenge with ETEC strain B7A in healthy adults. Approximately 72 adult participants, divided into 4 cohorts of 18, will be randomized 1:1 to receive vaccine (45 micrograms CssBA with 0.5 micrograms dmLT) or placebo (normal saline) on an outpatient basis. All participants will receive 3 intramuscular (IM) doses of vaccine or placebo at 3-week intervals (days 1, 22 and 43). Following vaccination, participants will be followed as outpatients for safety using a memory aid from the time of each vaccination through 7 days post each vaccination. Approximately 28 days (plus or minus 1 day) after receipt of the 3rd dose of study agent, participants meeting challenge criteria will be admitted to an inpatient unit and be administered an oral dose of 1 x 10\^10 cfu (colony-forming unit) of ETEC strain B7A. Five days after challenge, participants will be treated with ciprofloxacin, except in cases of known allergy or intolerance. Participants will be discharged from the inpatient unit when they have completed their 3-day antibiotic course and are able to care for themselves. After discharge from the inpatient unit, participants will return for clinic visits and have a phone visit to provide any updates on medication, medical history and AE/SAEs. The primary objectives are: 1) Estimate CssBA+dmLT efficacy in preventing moderate-severe diarrhea (MSD) following challenge with ETEC strain B7A in healthy adults. 2) Evaluate the safety of intramuscular injection of CssBA+dmLT.
