Brief summary

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of various doses, formulations, and routes of administration of Human Cytomegalovirus (HCMV) vaccine V160 administered in a 3-dose regimen in healthy adults. The initial treatment arm of HCMV seropositive participants will receive V160 Low Dose without adjuvant by intramuscular injection. Escalation of the V160 dose, inclusion of adjuvant, administration by intradermal injection, and vaccination of HCMV seronegative participants will be performed only after review of safety data of previous treatment arms. The purpose of the study is to identify vaccine formulations associated with optimal safety profile and HCMV-specific immune response for evaluation in subsequent clinical studies of V160.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Geometric Mean Titer of HCMV-specific Neutralizing Antibody After Vaccination 3Month 7 (1 month after vaccination 3 at Month 6)Serum samples for measuring neutralizing antibodies using the Merck Neutralizing Antibody (NAb) assay were collected at month 7. The LiCor-based near-infrared dye (NIRDye) In-Cell Western (ICW) HCMV microneutralization assay was used to detect and quantify anti-HCMV neutralizing antibodies. The primary hypothesis was that for HCMV-seronegative participants, at least 1 of the vaccination groups receiving V160 formulated with or without adjuvant would exhibit higher HCMV-specific neutralizing antibody titers than the placebo group.
Percentage of Participants With a Serious Vaccine-Related Adverse EventUp to 2 weeks after vaccination on Day 1, Month 1 and Month 6 (up to Day 15, Week 6 and Week 26)A serious adverse event is any adverse event occurring at any dose or during any use of Sponsor's product that does the following: results in death; is life threatening; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in or prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is a cancer; is associated with an overdose; is another important medical event. A serious vaccine-related adverse event was determined by the investigator to be related to the vaccine.
Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AEUp to Month 6An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol - specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE.
Percentage of Participants With Events of Clinical Interest (ECI)Up to 18 monthsAn event of clinical interest (ECI) is identified as any overdose, elevated liver values meeting threshold criteria (aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase ≥3x upper limit of normal (ULN); total bilirubin ≥2x ULN, and, at the same time, alkaline phosphatase \<2xULN). Additionally, confirmed, diagnosed autoimmune conditions are considered ECIs.
Percentage of Participants With an Adverse Event (AE)Up to 2 weeks after vaccination on Day 1, Month 1 and Month 6 (up to Day 15, Week 6 and Week 26)An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol - specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE.
Percentage of Participants With an Injection-site AEUp to 2 weeks after vaccination on Day 1, Month 1 and Month 6 (up to Day 15, Week 6 and Week 26)Injection-site AEs are defined as redness, swelling, and pain/tenderness.
Percentage of Participants With a Systemic AEUp to 2 weeks after vaccination on Day 1, Month 1 and Month 6 (up to Day 15, Week 6 and Week 26)A Systemic AE includes, but is not exclusive of, the following AEs: fatigue, myalgia, headache and joint pain
Percentage of Participants With a Serious Adverse Event (SAE)Up to 2 weeks after vaccination on Day 1, Month 1 and Month 6 (up to Day 15, Week 6 and Week 26)A serious adverse event is any adverse event occurring at any dose or during any use of Sponsor's product that does the following: results in death; is life threatening; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in or prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is a cancer; is associated with an overdose; is another important medical event

MeasureTime frameDescription
Geometric Mean Concentration of Interferon-Gamma After Stimulation of Whole Blood Sample With Pooled HCMV Antigen PeptidesMonth 7 (1 month after vaccination 3 at Month 6)In response to HCMV-specific stimulation of whole blood specimens the whole Blood Cytokine Stimulation (WBStim) assay was used to detect the secretion of interferon gamma (IFN -γ) by an ELISA assay. Results are presented for the following HCMV proteins: pp65, IE1, and gB.
Geometric Mean Titer of HCMV-specific Neutralizing Antibody After Vaccinations 1 and 2Month 1 and 2 (one month after vaccination 1 [Day 1] and vaccination 2 [Month 1])Serum samples for measuring neutralizing antibodies using the Merck NAb assay were collected at months 1 and 2. The LiCor-based near-infrared dye (NIRDye) In-Cell Western (ICW) HCMV microneutralization assay was used to detect and quantify anti-HCMV neutralizing antibodies. Values below the lower limit of titer are represented by NA.
Geometric Mean Count of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Secreting Interferon-GammaMonth 7 (1 month after vaccination 3 at Month 6)In order to evaluate the cellular immune response to the vaccine(s), the HCMV enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) assay was used to detect interferon gamma (IFN-γ) secreting HCMV-specific cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Results are expressed as the frequency of spot forming cells (SFCs) per million PBMCs (SFC/10\^6 PBMCs). Results are presented for the following HCMV proteins: pp65, Immediate early Protein 1 (IE1), Immediate early Protein 2 (IE2), Glycoprotein B (gB), and also for purified HCMV virion stock.

Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AE

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol - specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE.

Geometric Mean Titer of HCMV-specific Neutralizing Antibody After Vaccinations 1 and 2

Serum samples for measuring neutralizing antibodies using the Merck NAb assay were collected at months 1 and 2. The LiCor-based near-infrared dye (NIRDye) In-Cell Western (ICW) HCMV microneutralization assay was used to detect and quantify anti-HCMV neutralizing antibodies. Values below the lower limit of titer are represented by NA.

Time frame: Month 1 and 2 (one month after vaccination 1 [Day 1] and vaccination 2 [Month 1])

Population: All randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of the study vaccine or placebo and had at least 1 valid neutralizing antibody result.
