Study summary

This phase II study is intended to determine the immunogenicity and safety of single dose and two doses of OSP:rTTHc cholera conjugate vaccine (CCV) with or without alum adjuvant. The study will guide the future dosing schedule and formulation of CCV (with or without Aluminum phosphate adjuvant) expected to be needed in adults and children in cholera-endemic region.

Read the detailed description

This is phase II, randomized, controlled, safety and immunogenicity study of one and two doses of the of CCV 25 μg (with and without alum) in cholera-endemic region.

A total of 390 eligible participants will be recruited in the study into 3 age cohorts.

This will be a randomized, placebo-controlled, observer blind study in adults aged 18 to 45 years (cohort A) and children aged 5 to 17 years (cohort B) followed by a randomized, active-controlled, partial open label study in children aged 1 to 4 years (cohort C).

The DSMB must review the safety data of each cohort and approve study continuation before investigational product administration of the next younger cohort is initiated (age descending study scheme).

In cohort A, 50 adult participants aged 18 to 45 years will be randomly divided into 5 arms to receive the assigned investigational product as follows:

Arm A1 (n=10): one dose of CCV 25 μg with alum and one dose of placebo at 6 months interval Arm A2 (n=10): one dose of CCV 25 μg without alum and one dose of placebo at 6 months interval Arm A3 (n=10): two doses of CCV 25 μg with alum at 6 months interval Arm A4 (n=10): two doses of CCV 25 μg without alum at 6 months interval Arm A5 (n=10): two doses of placebo at 6 months interval

In cohort B, 90 children aged 5 to 17 years will be randomly divided into 5 arms to receive the assigned investigational product as follows:

Arm B1 (n=20): one dose of CCV 25 μg with alum and one dose of placebo at 6 months interval Arm B2 (n=20): one dose of CCV 25 μg without alum and one dose of placebo at 6 months interval Arm B3 (n=20): two doses of CCV 25 μg with alum at 6 months interval Arm B4 (n=20): two doses of CCV 25 μg without alum at 6 months interval Arm B5 (n=10): two doses of placebo at 6 months interval

In cohort C, 250 children aged 1 to 4 years will be randomly divided into 10 arms to receive the assigned investigational product as follows:

Arm C1 (n=30): one dose of CCV 25 μg with alum and one dose of placebo at 6 months interval Arm C2 (n=30): one dose of CCV 25 μg without alum and one dose of placebo at 6 months interval Arm C3 (n=30): two doses of CCV 25 μg with alum at 6 months interval Arm C4 (n=30): two doses of CCV 25 μg without alum at 6 months interval Arm C5 (n=20): two doses of placebo at 6 months interval Arm C6 (n=30): two doses of Euvichol®-Plus at 2 weeks interval Arm C7 (n=20): one dose of CCV 25 μg with alum and one dose of Euvichol®-Plus at 6 months interval Arm C8 (n=20): one dose of CCV 25 μg without alum and one dose of Euvichol®-Plus at 6 months interval Arm C9 (n=20): one dose of Euvichol®-Plus and one dose of CCV 25 μg with alum at 6 months interval Arm C10 (n=20): one dose of Euvichol®-Plus and one dose of CCV 25 μg without alum at 6 months interval

Route of vaccination: CCV 25 μg (with or without alum) and placebo are administered by intramuscular (IM) injection. Euvichol®-Plus is administered orally.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Apr 3, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
