Study summary

To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of different dose levels of the Recombinant Norovirus Hexavalent Vaccine in healthy subjects aged 18-59 years given three doses of the vaccine at 28-day intervals.

Read the detailed description

It is planned to enroll healthy subjects and adopt a 3-dose vaccination schedule (day 0 to day 56) of intramuscular injections of study vaccines in the deltoid muscle of the upper arm of subjects on day 0, day 28 and day 56, respectively. The subjects will sequentially enter into the low and high dose groups by stages, with approximately 30 subjects in each group (test group:control group = 2:1) and approximately up to 60 subjects in total. At least half of the subjects are Chinese in the two cohorts respectively

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(14)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

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.

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.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

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.

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of solicited AEs within 7 days after each vaccination dose.

    Safety will be assessed through 7 days after vaccination (including the day of vaccination) via collection of solicited AEs. The solicited AEs include local AEs (injection site: pain,tenderness, induration,swelling,erythema,pruritus)and systemic AEs (Headache, Fatigue,Myalgia,Arthralgia,Vomiting, Diarrhea, Fever).

    Time frame: 7 Days

  2. Incidence of unsolicited AEs within 28 days after each vaccination dose

    Unsolicited AEs are AEs other than those designated as solicited AEs, and also include eponymous solicited AEs that occur after the solicitation period. Unsolicited AEs mainly include any AEs that have been reported by the subjects, learned from interrogation or observed by the investigator during the study visits, or discovered during review of medical records or original files. the incidence of unsolicited AEs within 28 days after each dose of the study vaccine will be calculated.

    Time frame: 28 Days

  3. Incidence of AEs related to serum chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis parameters in all subjects on day 4 after each vaccination dose and on day 14, day 42 after the first dose

    The number of participants with any markedly abnormal standard safety laboratory values (serum chemistry,hematology or urinalysis) collected.

    Time frame: 42 days

  4. SAE, MAAE in all subjects within 12 months after the completion of the vaccination series.
