Study summary

The goal of this phase 1b, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded, dose-escalation study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a three-dose regimen, spaced four weeks apart, given intramuscularly in healthy adults (20-59 years old). Three different dose formulations of the study product with varying antigen contents will be investigated.

A total of 120 eligible participants will be recruited in 3 sequential cohorts (A, B, and C) in Burkina Faso (N=60) and in Madagascar (N=60). Cohort A will receive the low-dose antigen formulation (10 µg) or placebo, Cohort B will receive the medium-dose antigen formulation (30 µg) or placebo, and Cohort C will receive the high-dose antigen formulation (100 µg) or placebo; all antigens with 5 μg adjuvant (GLA-SE). In each cohort, volunteers will be randomized in a blinded manner into one of two arms, candidate vaccine or placebo, by a 3:1 ratio. A subset of five out of 20 subjects in each cohort will be sampled by convenience to enable us to further characterize the immune response using the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The Primary Objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 different dose formulations (low dose, medium dose, and high dose) of SchistoShield® vaccine given intramuscularly on D0, D28 and D56 to healthy participants 20 to 59 years of age in Burkina Faso and Madagascar.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 1b, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded, dose-escalation study, assessing the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a three-dose regimen, spaced four weeks apart, given intramuscularly in healthy adults (20-59 years old). Three different dose formulations of the study product with varying antigen contents will be investigated. A total of 120 eligible participants will be recruited in 3 sequential cohorts (A, B, and C) in Burkina Faso (N=60) and in Madagascar (N=60), as shown in the Table 1, below. Cohort A will receive the low-dose antigen formulation (10 µg) or placebo, Cohort B will receive the medium-dose antigen formulation (30 µg) or placebo, and Cohort C will receive the high-dose antigen formulation (100 µg) or placebo; all antigens with 5 μg adjuvant (GLA-SE). In each cohort, volunteers will be randomized in a blinded manner into one of two arms, candidate vaccine or placebo, by a 3:1 ratio. A subset of five out of 20 subjects in each cohort will be sampled by convenience to enable us to further characterize the immune response using the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).

To ensure that the study participants at enrollment do not have any active schistosomiasis or helminth infection and are schistosomiasis egg-negative, pre-screening activities including schistosomiasis treatment will be carried out in potential study participants prior to enrollment. Potential study participants will be identified in the catchment population and will be offered anti-helminth treatment using praziquantel (PZQ) and Albendazole (ABZ) as per local guidelines at study site. The pre-screening visit will be conducted 6-8 weeks before the screening visit. The last dose of PZQ/ABZ will be administered at least 5 weeks prior to the first dose of study product.

The Primary objective is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 different dose formulations (low dose, medium dose, and high dose) of SchistoShield® vaccine given intramuscularly on D0, D28 and D56 to healthy participants 20 to 59 years of age in Burkina Faso and Madagascar.

The Secondary objective is to evaluate the immunogenicity of 3 different dose formulations (low dose, medium dose, and high dose) of SchistoShield® vaccine 28 days post-vaccination on D28, D56, and D84 as compared with the baseline and with those who received placebo.

The Exploratory objective is to describe the antigen-specific B- and T-cell responses, memory responses, and innate and adaptive immune signatures from samples collected at specified timepoints.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(12)

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.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

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.

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.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

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.

BMI (body mass index)

Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.

What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.

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.

Excipients

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

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.

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.

Collected over Solicited adverse events (AEs) were collected from the time of each study product vaccination through 7 days after each study product vaccination. Unsolicited AEs were collected from the time of each study product vaccination through 28 days after the study product vaccination. Serious AEs (SAEs) and adverse events of special interest (AESIs) were collected from the time of the first study product vaccination through approximately 6 months after the last study product vaccination.. Non-serious events are listed at a 5% frequency threshold.
