Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Safety of immunization with KLH following oral and / or parenteral administration;Secondary Objective: Occurrence of a cutaneous immune response of type IV (delayed type, delayed type hypersensitivity "DTH") after immunization Detectable KLH-specific T- and B-cell responses;Primary end point(s): Frequency of adverse events after oral and/or parenteral KLH administration;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Adverse events will be assessed at the study visits

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Occurence of a cutaneous DTH reaction KLH-specific T- and B-cell responses;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: DTH reactions will be assessed 24h and 48h after parenteral immunization KLH-specific T- and B-cell responses will be examined at the study visits
