About this trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of co-administration of nOPV1 + nOPV2 in infants, relative to those receiving monovalent nOPV vaccines alone and whether two and/or three doses of co-administered nOPV1 and nOPV2 are non-inferior to corresponding doses of nOPV1 alone and nOPV2 alone.
Eligibility criteria
This trial accepts healthy volunteersQualifiers
Healthy male or female infant 16 weeks (+ 7 days) of age, at the time of first study vaccination. Healthy as defined by the absence of any clinically significant medical condition or congenital anomaly as determined by medical history, physical examination, and clinical assessment by the investigator.
Parent(s) willing and able to provide written informed consent prior to performance of any study-specific procedure.
Resides in study area and parent understands and is able and willing to adhere to all study visits and procedures (as evidenced by a signed informed consent form (ICF) and assessment by the investigator).
Prior to study vaccination has received EPI vaccines as per the study EPI schedule and has received a single dose of IPV at 6 weeks (+7 days) of age.
Disqualifiers
Presence of anyone under 10 years of age in the participant's household (living in the same house or apartment unit) who does not have complete age appropriate vaccination status (as per local guidelines) with respect to poliovirus vaccines at the time of study vaccine administration.
Member of the participant's household (living in the same house or apartment unit) who has received OPV based on the vaccination records in the previous 3 months before study vaccine administration. Participants from household where a member received investigational nOPV3 vaccine will also be excluded from the study.
Low birth weight (LBW), defined as a birth weight of less than 2500 g (up to and including 2499 g) at the time of birth.
Premature birth (less than 37 weeks gestation).

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Frequency of serious adverse events (SAEs)
Serious adverse event is any adverse event that results in any of the following outcomes: 1) Death, 2) Life-threatening, 3) Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, 4) Results in persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, or 5) Important medical event that may not result in one of the above outcomes but may jeopardize the health of the study participant or (and) require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in the above
Frequency of solicited adverse events (AEs)
Solicited AEs are pre-specified AEs that are common or known to be associated with vaccination that are actively monitored as potential indicators of vaccine reactogenicity. The following solicited AEs will be monitored for this trial: Fever (axillary temperature ≥ 37.5°C), Vomiting, Diarrhea, Irritability or Abnormal Crying, Decreased feeding or appetite, and Fatigue or decreased activity
Frequency of unsolicited AEs
Unsolicited AEs are any AEs reported spontaneously by the participant's parent, observed by the study personnel during study visits or identified during review of medical records or source documents. In the absence of a diagnosis, abnormal physical examination findings or abnormal clinical safety laboratory test results that are assessed by the investigator to be clinically significant will be reported as an AE.
Percentage of participants demonstrating cumulative seroconversion of types 1 and 2 anti-polio serum neutralizing antibody (NAb)
Cumulative Seroconversion is defined as type specific minimum 4-fold rise from baseline in those seropositive (NAb titer ≥1:8) at baseline, or post-vaccination seropositivity (titer ≥1:8) among those seronegative at baseline
Secondary outcomes
Percentage of participants demonstrating cumulative seroconversion of type 1 and 2 anti-polio serum NAb
Cumulative Seroconversion is defined as type specific minimum 4-fold rise from baseline in those seropositive (NAb titer ≥1:8) at baseline, or post-vaccination seropositivity (titer ≥1:8) among those seronegative at baseline.
Median titer for type 1 and 2 anti-polio serum NAb
Geometric mean titer (GMT) for Types 1 and 2 anti-polio serum NAb
Post-vaccination GMT ratios of types 1 and 2 anti-polio serum NAb
