Study population

Individuals who are administered VIGIV distributed from the US Strategic National Stockpile for the treatment of complications due to vaccinia vaccination or vaccinia infections.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

Subjects treated with VIGIV deployed from the US Strategic National Stockpile for any of the following conditions:

  • Eczema vaccinatum.
  • Progressive vaccinia.
  • Severe generalized vaccinia.
  • Vaccinia infections in individuals who have skin conditions such as burns, impetigo, varicella-zoster, or poison ivy, or in individuals who have eczematous skin lesions because of either the activity or extensiveness of such lesions.
  • Aberrant infections induced by vaccinia virus that include its accidental implantation in eyes (except in cases of isolated keratitis), mouth, or other areas where vaccinia infection would constitute a special hazard.
  • voluntarily signed by subject, legal guardian or representative to participate in the study. For minors, the informed consent form must be signed by a legally acceptable representative and when appropriate, informed consent/assent must also be obtained from the minor.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

None.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Resolution of vaccinia infection complications

    Change in number, size, type, and percentage of body affected by lesions following treatment.

    Time frame: At hospital discharge (if not fully resolved at discharge then 1 month or 6 months as applicable)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Vaccinia antibody levels

    Measurement of serum concentration of anti-vaccinia antibodies.

    Time frame: Day 5 post VIGIV-infusion

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 12, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
