Study summary

The study will assess and compare the immune response and safety following the co-administration of Novel Oral Polio Type 2 (nOPV2) and bivalent Oral Polio Vaccine (bOPV) in comparison with nOPV2 or bOPV in infants aged 2 months who have never received vaccination against poliomyelitis.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Infants aged 8 weeks (-1, + 2 weeks) with birth weight >2,500 gm.
  2. Healthy infants without obvious medical conditions like immunodeficiency diseases, severe congenital malformations, severe neurological diseases or any other disease that require high doses of or immunotherapies 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 parent(s) or legal guardian(s) as per country regulations.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Infants who have received previous vaccination according to the National Immunization Program (NIP) (i.e. vaccination against poliomyelitis and/or receipt of diphtheria-tetanus-whole cell pertussis--Haemophilus influenzae type b [DTPw-HB-Hib vaccine]).
  2. Infants with anyone under 10 years of age in their household (living in the same house or apartment unit) who does not have complete "age appropriate" vaccination status with respect to poliovirus vaccines at the time of study vaccine administration according to the Dominican Republic NIP.
  3. Infants having a member of their household (living in the same house or apartment unit) who is under 6 months of age at the moment of study vaccine administration.
  4. Infants having a member of their household (living in the same house or apartment unit) who has received oral polio vaccine (OPV) in the previous 3 months before study vaccine administration.
  5. Any confirmed or suspected or known immunodeficient condition including infection in the potential participant or any member of the subject's household.
  6. Family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
  7. Major congenital defects or serious uncontrolled chronic illness (neurologic, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, or endocrine).
  8. Known allergy to any component of the study vaccines or to any antibiotics, that share molecular composition with the nOPV2 vaccines.
  9. Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products since birth or planned administration during the study period.
  10. 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 inclusion criteria are met.).
  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(6)

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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

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.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

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.

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 Jan 14, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
