About this trial

The goal of this phase 1/2a, randomized, observer-blind, age-descending, dose-finding trial is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a quadrivalent synthetic oligosaccharide-based Shigella vaccine (adjuvanted IP-QSV) in adults, children, and infants in Mali. This first-in-human study is intended to obtain initial data on the safety of the adjuvanted IP-QSV vaccine and its effect on immune responses in a Shigella-endemic region.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Individuals aged 18-45 years in Group A, 2-5 years in Groups B and C, 6-8 months in Groups D, E and G , and 9-11 months in Group F

Participants/ Participants' Legally Acceptable representative (LAR) willing to provide written informed consent to participate in the study voluntarily

Participants who can comply with the study requirements

Individuals in good health as determined by the outcome of medical history, physical examination, and the clinical judgment of the investigator

Disqualifiers

Known history or allergy to investigational vaccine components or other medications, or any other allergies deemed by the investigator to increase the risk of an adverse event if they were to participate in the trial

Individuals with major congenital abnormalities, developmental disorders, genetic defects, or severe malnutrition, among other conditions which in the opinion of investigator may affect the participant's participation in the study

Known history of immune function disorders including immunodeficiency diseases (known HIV infection¥ or other immune function disorders) which in the opinion of investigator may affect the participant's participation in the study or interfere with the assessment of the study objectives

Use of systemic steroids within past 6 months (>10 mg/day prednisone equivalent for periods exceeding 2 consecutive weeks), or receive chemotherapy, radiation therapy or other immunosuppressive drugs within the past 6 months

Trial design

Design model

Sequential

Treatments tested in this trial

  • 30μg IP-QSV

    Biological/Vaccine

    A mix of the four synthetic OS-based conjugates, each independently targeting SF 2a, 3a, 6, or Sson, and using tetanus toxoid as carrier protein. 30 ㎍ of IP-QSV adjuvanted with Aluminum phosphate.

  • Placebo

    Other intervention

    Sterile 0.9% sodium chloride.

  • 10μg IP-QSV

    Biological/Vaccine

    A mix of the four synthetic OS-based conjugates, each independently targeting SF 2a, 3a, 6, or Sson, and using tetanus toxoid as carrier protein. 30 ㎍ of IP-QSV adjuvanted with Aluminum phosphate.

  • 2μg IP-QSV

    Biological/Vaccine

    A mix of the four synthetic OS-based conjugates, each independently targeting SF 2a, 3a, 6, or Sson, and using tetanus toxoid as carrier protein. 30 ㎍ of IP-QSV adjuvanted with Aluminum phosphate.
