Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety (serious adverse events [SAEs]), and severe adverse events [AEs] (grade 3 according to CTCAE 4.03) after one dose of SABIN tOPV in 1-5 year-old children and three doses of SABIN tOPV in 6 week-old infants, and immunogenicity (seroprotection rates for all 3 serotypes) 28 days after three doses of SABIN tOPV in vaccine-naïve infants.

Read the detailed description

This will be a single center, open study in children (aged 1 to 5 years) and vaccine-naïve infants, as follows: 50 OPV-vaccinated children aged 1 to 5 years to receive 1 dose of tOPV (Group 1); 104 vaccine-naïve infants to receive 3 doses of tOPV administered 28 days apart (Group 2)

Inclusion criteria

  1. Age:

    Group 1- Children aged 1-5 years, previously vaccinated with ≥ 3 doses of OPV. Group 2- Infants aged 6 weeks (-7 to +14 days) with no previous polio vaccinations.

  2. Healthy without obvious medical conditions that preclude the subject to be in the study as established by the medical history and physical examination.
  3. Written obtained from 1 or 2 parents or legal guardians as per Dominican Republic regulations.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Previous Vaccinations:

    Group 1: Previous vaccination against poliovirus outside of the national immunization schedule and any vaccine in the previous 4 weeks.

    Group 2: Any vaccination against poliovirus

  2. Group 2: Infants with birth weight (BW) \< 2,500 gm.
  3. Any confirmed or suspected or known immunodeficient condition including (HIV) infection.
  4. Family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
  5. Major congenital defects or serious uncontrolled chronic illness (neurologic, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, or endocrine).
  6. Known allergy to any component of the study vaccines or to any antibiotics.
  7. Uncontrolled coagulopathy or blood disorder contraindicating intramuscular injections.
  8. Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products since birth or planned administration during the study period.
  9. Acute severe febrile illness at day of vaccination deemed by the Investigator to be a for vaccination (the child can be included at a later time if within age window and all in/exclusion criteria are met).
  10. Member of the subject's household (living in the same house or apartment unit) has received OPV in the last 3 months, or is scheduled to receive OPV during the study period.
  11. Subject who, in the opinion of the Investigator, is unlikely to comply with the protocol or is inappropriate to be included in the study for the safety or the benefit-risk ratio of the subject.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

  • Experimental
    Oral Polio Vaccine

    Opvero™ (oral) is a trivalent, live attenuated poliomyelitis virus vaccine containing at least 6.0 log 50% cell culture infective dose (CCID50) of LS c2ab strain of live attenuated polio virus type 1, 5.0 log CCID50 of P712, Ch, 2ab strain of live attenuated polio virus type 2, 5.8 log CCID50 Leon I2aIb strain of polio virus type 3. Excipients: human albumin, HEPES buffer solution, magnesium chloride solution (containing polysorbate 80 and phenol red), hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide for pH adjustment. The vaccine is presented as a suspension for oral administration. One dose of vaccine (0.1 ml) is contained in two drops which are delivered from the dropper supplied with the multidose container.

Not marked actual or estimatedDates not marked actual or estimated

The record gives a start of Nov 2015, a primary completion of Jul 2016 and a completion of Aug 2016. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Sep 2020, 4 years 2 months after primary completion.

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 Apr 18, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
