A study on the safety and immune responses to the GVGH altSonflex1-2-3 vaccine against shigellosis in adults, children, and infants

A staged Phase I/II observer-blind, randomised, controlled, multi-country study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immune responses to the GVGH altSonflex1-2-3 vaccine against S. sonnei and S. flexneri, serotypes 1b, 2a, and 3a, in adults in Europe (Stage 1) followed by age de-escalation from adults to children and infants, and dose-finding in infants in Africa (Stage 2) - SHIGELLA 4 GMMA GVGH-001 (H06_01TP)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: All participants: •Known exposure to Shigella during lifetime of the participant as confirmed during interview with the participant or documented by patient records (e.g., history of microbiologically-confirmed Shigella infection), recent travel* (within 2 years) to a s country where Shigella or other eneteric infections are endemic, or recent occupation* (within 3 years) involving Shigella species. •Progressive, unstable or uncontrolled clinical conditions. •History (known or suspected) of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study vaccine. •Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing required). •Hypersensitivity, including allergy, to medicinal products or medical equipment whose use is foreseen in this study. •Clinical conditions representing a contraindication to IM vaccination and blood draws. •Any behavioural or cognitive impairment or psychiatric disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the participant’s ability to participate in the study. •Acute disease and/or fever (defined as temperature ?38.0°C) at the time of enrolment*. *The participant can still be enrolled into the study at a time when the acute disease and/or fever has resolved. •Any clinically significant haematological and/or biochemical laboratory abnormality. •Confirmed positive COVID-19 test during the period starting 30 days before the first administration of study vaccines (Day -30 to Day 1) •Any other clinical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might pose additional risk to the participant due to participation in the study. •Administration of long-acting immune-modifying drugs at any time during the study period (e.g. infliximab). •Prior receipt of an experimental Shigella vaccine or live Shigella challenge. •Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug, vaccine or medical device)* other than the study vaccine during the period starting 30 days before the first dose of study intervention (Day -30 to Day 1), or planned use during the study period. *Use of herbs and traditional treatments is not considered an exclusion criterion •A vaccine not foreseen* by the Study Protocol administered during the period starting at -21 days before the first dose (-28 days in the case of live vaccines) and ending after the last dose of study intervention administration**. •Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the participant has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational intervention (drug or invasive medical device). •Any study personnel or immediate dependents, family, or household member. Adults 18 to 50 years of age: •Acute or chronic illness, clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal functional abnormality, as determined by physical examination or laboratory screening tests. •Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products or plasma derivatives, or bone marrow transplantation, during the period starting 3 months before the first dose of study vaccine or planned administration during the study period. •Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days in total) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs during the period starting 3 months prior to the first vaccine study intervention. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone
