Study summary

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled study that is being done to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of two doses of the HIL-214 vaccine compared to a placebo. The study will enroll 3000 children who will be 5 months of age at the time of the first dose study vaccine. The second dose of study vaccine will be given 28 days after the first dose.

Read the detailed description

Noroviruses have emerged as the single most significant cause of gastroenteritis in both middle-high income countries and low resource settings worldwide. Those most at risk of severe illness include the very young, the elderly and immunocompromised individuals. Noroviruses are highly infectious, highly resistant to environmental conditions, and have multiple routes of transmission including person-to-person, food-borne and contaminated surfaces. Noroviruses can cause acute, mild to severe illness characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, fever, dehydration and abdominal pain, representing a significant burden to public health. The clinical presentation in adults and older children is similar. While mortality due to acute gastroenteritis (AGE) caused by norovirus in the pediatric population is rare in industrialized countries, it is more common in developing countries. Although potentially a cause for hospitalization in very young children, there are fewer cases during the first 6 months of life possibly due to the protection offered by maternal antibodies from trans-placental transfer and in breast milk. In addition, norovirus infections have significant socioeconomic impact on hospitals, schools, day care centers and other closed settings. As the burden of rotavirus in children decreases due to successful rotavirus vaccination programs in infants, norovirus infections are increasingly recognized as the primary cause of AGE in many countries around the world.

  • Children whose LARs can and are willing to comply with trial procedures and are available for the duration of follow-up

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

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.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.

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.
