Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to determine what dose of Tdap-1018, a vaccine intended for booster immunization against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis in individuals 10 to 22 years of age is optimum for use. The study will enroll healthy adolescent and adult volunteers aged between 10 and 22 years. The total duration of the study will be approximately 16 weeks. Study details: The study will be conducted in 2 parts: • Part 1 will enroll approximately 90 healthy adult participants 18 to 22 years of age, inclusive. Part 1 has two groups evaluating two dose levels of Tdap-1018. • Part 2 will enroll approximately 48 healthy adolescent participants 10 to 17 years of age, inclusive. Part 2 will also have two groups for evaluating two dose levels of Dtap-1018. All participants will receive 1 dose of their assigned treatment (Tdap 1018 Dose 1, Tdap-1018 Dose 2, or Boostrix). All participants will undergo assessments of safety and immunogenicity. Participants will be followed for safety for 12 weeks after the study injection. All participants will have a pre-vaccination blood draw and receive the assigned treatment vaccine at Day 1. Blood draws for measuring post-vaccination antibody levels and exploratory evaluations will be done at Week 4. Safety assessments will be done at Weeks 4 and 12. It is perhaps intended that this study will determine the dose of Tdap-1018 vaccine intended for active booster immunization against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis.

Interventions

The study will be conducted in 2 parts: • Part 1 will enroll approximately 90 healthy adult volunteers 18 to 22 years of age, inclusive in two escalating dose levels of Tdap-1018. 45 participants will be enrolled into each of the groups: - Group A (Tdap 1018, 1500mcg n=30; Boostrix n=15) - Group B (Tdap-1018, 3000 mcg n=30; Boostrix n=15) • Part 2 will enroll healthy adolescent volunteers 10 to 17 years of age, inclusive. Part 2 will consist of approximately 48 participants in 2 escalating dos

Part 2 will consist of approximately 48 participants in 2 escalating dose levels of Tdap-1018 (Group C: 1500 mcg; Group D: 3000 mcg) with approximately 24 participants (Tdap 1018 n = 16; Boostrix n = 8) in each group. A Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) will oversee the dose escalation. Enrollment of adolescent participants will be initiated after 12 vaccine recipients in Part 1, Group B have completed week 4 and a preliminary safety assessment is completed by the SMC. All adult and adolescent participants will receive 1 dose of their assigned treatment. All participants will undergo assessments of safety and immunogenicity. Participants will be followed for safety for 12 weeks after the study injection. All participants will have a pre-vaccination blood draw and receive the assigned treatment vaccine at Day 1. Blood draws for measuring post-vaccination antibody levels and exploratory evaluations will be done at Week 4. Safety assessments will be done at Weeks 4 and 12.
