A phase 2 vaccine study in healthy adults to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two oral polio type 2 vaccine candidates

A Phase 2, partial blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two novel live attenuated serotype 2 oral poliovirus vaccines candidates, in healthy adults previously vaccinated with oral polio vaccine (OPV) or inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), compared with historical controls given Sabin OPV2 or placebo.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. A condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could compromise the well being of the subject or course of the study, or prevent the subject from meeting or performing any study requirements; 2. For Groups 5, 6 and 7: ever having received any OPV in the past; 3. Any travel to polio endemic countries or countries with evidence of recent (within last 6 months) wild or vaccine-derived poliovirus circulation during the total duration of the study 4. Professional handling of food, catering or food production activities during the total duration of the study; 5. Having Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis or having had major surgery of the gastrointestinal tract involving significant loss or resection of the bowel; 6. A known allergy, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to the study vaccine or the placebo, or to any of their components or to any antibiotics; 7. Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficiency condition (including human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] infection, hepatitis B or C infections or total serum IgA level below lab lower limit of normal (LNN)); 8. Will have household or professional contact with known immunosuppressed people or people without full polio vaccination (i.e. complete primary infant immunization series), e.g. babysitting during the total duration of the study; 9. Neonatal nurses or others having professional contact with children under 6 months old during the total duration of the study; 10. Chronic administration (i.e., longer than 14 days) of immunosuppressant drugs or other immune-modifying drugs within 6 months prior to the first vaccine dose or planned use during the study. For instance, for corticosteroids, this means prednisone, or equivalent, = 0.5 mg/kg/day (inhaled and topical steroids are allowed whereas intra-articular and epidural injection/administration of steroids are not allowed); 11. Presence of contraindications to administration of the study vaccine on Day 0: acute severe febrile illness deemed by the Investigator to be a contraindication for vaccination or persistent diarrhea or vomiting; 12. Indications of drug abuse or excessive use of alcohol at Day 0 (males: > 21 units per week (m); females > 14 units per week); 13. Being pregnant or breastfeeding. Women of childbearing potential will undergo a urine pregnancy test at each vaccination visit. Subjects with a positive pregnancy test will be excluded; 14. Participation in another clinical study within 28 days prior to entry in this study or receipt of any investigational product (drug or vaccine) other than the study vaccine within 28 days prior to the first administration of study vaccine, or planned use during the study period; 15. Administration of any vaccine other than the study vaccine within 28 days prior to the first dose of study vaccine and during the entire study period; 16. Administration of any polio vaccine within 12 months before the start of the study; 17. Having had a transfusion of any blood product or application of immunoglobulins within the 4 weeks prior to the first administration of study vaccine or during the study; 18. Subject is an employee of the Investigator or study site, with direct involvement in th

Main Objective: The primary objectives of the study are - To assess the safety (serious adverse events [SAEs] and severe adverse events [AEs]) of novel monovalent live attenuated oral serotype 2 poliovirus vaccine (nOPV2) candidate 1 and novel monovalent live attenuated oral serotype 2 poliovirus vaccine (nOPV2) candidate 2 in healthy OPV-vaccinated adults, relative to historical controls given Sabin OPV2; - To compare the immunogenicity (seroprotection rate) of novel monovalent live attenuated oral serotype 2 poliovirus vaccine (nOPV2) candidate 1 and novel monovalent live attenuated oral serotype 2 poliovirus vaccine (nOPV2) candidate 2 in healthy OPV-vaccinated adults to historical controls given Sabin OPV2; - To assess the safety (serious adverse events [SAEs] and severe adverse events [AEs]) of nOPV2 candidate 1 and nOPV2 candidate 2 in healthy IPV-only vaccinated adults, compared with placebo. ; Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives are - To assess the safety (any solicited and unsolicited AEs, laboratory assessments) of nOPV2 candidate 1 and nOPV2 candidate 2 in healthy OPV-vaccinated adults, compared with historical controls given Sabin OPV2; - To assess the safety (any solicited and unsolicited AEs, laboratory assessments) of nOPV2 candidate 1 and nOPV2 candidate 2 in healthy IPV-only vaccinated adults, compared with placebo; - To compare the immunogenicity (seroconversion rate, median antibody titer (post-vaccination)) of nOPV2 candidate 1 and nOPV2 candidate 2 in healthy OPV-vaccinated adults, with historical control of Sabin OPV2; - To assess the immunogenicity (seroprotection rate, seroconversion rate, median post-vaccination antibody titer) of nOPV2 candidate 1 and nOPV2 candidate 2 in healthy IPV-only vaccinated adults. ; Primary end point(s): Safety: The following endpoints will
