Study summary

This is an open label and off label, phase IV, randomized clinical trial that will compare the immune response among infants that receive either two full doses of Sabin IPV intramuscularly or two fractional (1/5) dose of Sabin IPV intradermally at 14 weeks and 9 months of age from two different manufacturers.

Read the detailed description

After OPV cessation, which is expected within a year of polio eradication certification, IPV will be the only polio vaccine used in essential immunization programs. SAGE has recommended a two-dose intramuscular IPV or intradermal fractional IPV (fIPV) schedule after OPV cessation. While it is expected that there shall be sufficient IPV available - in large part because of several manufacturers establishing production of IPV using Sabin strains (sIPV) - it is dependent on these manufacturers being able to meet promised product development and manufacturing timeline and meet WHO prequalification. It is likely that countries that have introduced intradermal fIPV pre-eradication will continue to use intradermal fIPV post-eradication. Therefore, it is important to generate evidence on immunogenicity of intradermal fractional sIPV in addition to intramuscular sIPV for the schedule recommended by SAGE.

This clinical trial assesses and compares the immunogenicity of full and fractional (1/5) dose Sabin IPV given at 14 weeks and 9 months of age from two different manufacturers. Healthy infants 6 weeks of age will be enrolled in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and randomized to one of four arms:

A. IMBCAMS full dose sIPV at 14 weeks and 9 months B. IMBCAMS fractional dose sIPV at 14 weeks and 9 months C. BIBP full dose sIPV at 14 weeks and 9 months D. BIBP fractional dose sIPV at 14 weeks and 9 months

Participants will be followed until 10 months of age through clinic visits. Blood samples will be collected for measuring immune response.

Inclusion criteria

  • Healthy infants 6 weeks of age (range: 42-48 days).
  • Parents that consent for participation in the full length of the study (i.e., 34 weeks).
  • Parents that are able to understand and comply with planned study procedures.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • A diagnosis or suspicion of immunodeficiency disorder either in the infant or in an immediate family member.
  • A diagnosis or suspicion of bleeding disorder that would contraindicate parenteral administration of sIPV or collection of blood by venepuncture.
  • Acute diarrhoea, infection or illness at the time of enrollment (6 weeks of age) that would require infant's admission to a hospital.
  • Acute vomiting and intolerance to liquids within 24 hours before the enrollment visit (6 weeks of age).
  • Evidence of a chronic medical condition identified by a study medical officer during physical exam.
  • Receipt of any polio vaccine (OPV or IPV) before enrollment based upon documentation or parental recall.
  • Known allergy/sensitivity or reaction to polio vaccine, or its contents.
  • Infants from multiple births. Infants from multiple births will be excluded because the infant(s) who is/are not enrolled would likely receive OPV through routine immunization and transmit vaccine poliovirus to the enrolled infant.
  • Infants from premature births (\<37 weeks of gestation).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Vaccine response

    Dichotomous (yes/no) variable defined as participants who are either seronegative (\<1:8 titers) at baseline who become seropositive (≥1:8) after vaccination (seroconversion) or participants who demonstrate a four-fold rise in titers after vaccination between two specimens, e.g. a change from 1:8 to 1:32, after adjusting for expected decay in maternal antibodies. Antibody titers at 14 weeks of age will be the starting point for the expected decline in maternal antibodies, assuming at half-life of 28 days.

    Time frame: Measured 4 weeks after administration of study vaccine

Secondary outcomes

  1. Reciprocal antibody titers

    Variable of the observed reciprocal antibody titer results.

    Time frame: Measured 4 weeks after administration of study Vaccine

  2. Priming

    Dichotomous (yes/no) variable defined as participants who are either seronegative (\<1:8 titers) at baseline who become seropositive (≥1:8) after vaccination (seroconversion) or participants who demonstrate a four-fold rise in titers after vaccination between two specimens, e.g. a change from 1:8 to 1:32, after adjusting for expected decay in maternal antibodies. Antibody titers at 14 weeks of age will be the starting point for the expected decline in maternal antibodies, assuming at half-life of 28 days.

    Time frame: Measured 7 days after challenge dose (e.g. 9 months + 7 days)

Ran from Jul 2022 to primary completion in Jul 2023, 11 months.

Of 30 phase 4 interventional studies under Poliomyelitis, half reached primary completion within 13 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 25. This study's 11 months is below that.

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 Mar 19, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
