Brief summary

This is a trial to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, immunogenicity and efficacy of a 10\^6 cfu dose of an oral live-attenuated S. sonnei vaccine candidate, WRSs2, in up to 120 healthy males and non-pregnant females aged 18-49, inclusive. This is a two-phase study, an outpatient WRSs2 vaccination phase and an inpatient S. sonnei 53G challenge phase. After the initiation of the study, two participants had Grade 3 diarrhea and/or vomiting in the days following vaccination. The vaccination dose was reduced to 5X10\^5, enrollment was changed to 2 arms and randomized 2:1 (vaccine: placebo). Participants with morbid obesity were excluded and weight loss medications prohibited. The Primary Objective of this study is to estimate combined vaccine efficacy of 2 doses of WRSs2 (10\^6 cfu or 5X10\^5 cfu) in preventing shigellosis, following challenge with S. sonnei strain 53G.

Detailed description

This is a double-blind, placebo controlled, randomized study to test the safety, reactogenicity, immunogenicity and efficacy of up to a 10\^6 cfu dose of an oral live-attenuated S. sonnei vaccine (WRSs2) to protect against shigellosis after a targeted oral challenge with S. sonnei 53G, a virulent strain of S. sonnei. Up to 120 subjects, healthy males and non-pregnant females aged 18-49, will be enrolled and randomized in this study. Using the 10\^6 CFU dose, subjects were randomized 1:1:1 into one of three vaccination arms to receive 2 doses of study agent 28 days apart. Arm 1 received 2 doses of WRSs2, Arm 2 received placebo followed by WRSs2 and Arm 3 received 2 doses of placebo. Twenty-eight (+2) days after the second dose of study agent, subjects were admitted to the inpatient unit and given an oral challenge of approximately 1500 cfu of 53G. The goal was to have 90 subjects (30 per arm) receive a challenge dose of 53G. The study duration is approximately 24 months with subject participation duration approximately 8 months. After the initiation of the study, two participants had Grade 3 diarrhea and/or vomiting in the days following vaccination. The vaccination dose was reduced to 5X10\^5, enrollment was changed to 2 arms and randomized 2:1 (vaccine: placebo). Participants with morbid obesity were excluded and weight loss medications prohibited. The Primary Objective of this study is to estimate combined vaccine efficacy of 2 doses of WRSs2 (10\^6 cfu or 5X10\^5 cfu) in preventing shigellosis, following challenge with S. sonnei strain 53G. The Secondary Objectives are to:1) Estimate vaccine efficacy of 1 dose of 10\^6 cfu, 2 doses of 10\^6 cfu, and 2 doses of 5x10\^5 cfu of WRSs2 in preventing shigellosis following challenge with S. sonnei strain 53G. 2) Evaluate the safety of WRSs2; 3) Evaluate immune responses following vaccination (immunogenicity) with WRSs2 and after challenge with S. sonnei strain 53G by serum anti-LPS and anti-Invaplex IgG and IgA by ELISA; 4) Determine fecal shedding of S. sonnei after WRSs2 vaccination and 53G challenge by qualitative stool culture.

Number and Percentage of Participants With Solicited Systemic Adverse Events (AEs) Through 7 Days After Each Study Vaccination.Day 1 through Day 8, Day 29 through Day 36Systemic solicited adverse events (AEs) were collected pre-vaccination, 90 minutes post-vaccination, and then daily for 7 days after each vaccination using a memory aid and graded on a scale of 0 (none), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate) and 3 (severe). Systemic events include fever, headache, arthralgia, nausea, pain/abdominal cramps, fatigue/malaise, myalgia, anorexia/loss of appetite, chills, vomiting, and diarrhea.
Number and Percentage of Participants With Vaccine-related Unsolicited AEs Through 28 Days Post Last VaccinationDay 1 through Day 57ICH E6 defines an AE as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product regardless of its causal relationship to the study treatment. FDA defines an AE as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of medicinal (investigational) product. The occurrence of an AE may come to the attention of study personnel during study visits and interviews of a study recipient presenting for medical care, or upon review by a study monitor. An AE is considered related if there is a reasonable possibility that the study product caused the AE. Reasonable possibility means that there is evidence to suggest a causal relationship between the study product and the AE.
Number and Percentage of Participants With SAEs Through Study Day 180 or Until Resolution or Stabilization Even if This Extends Beyond the Study-reporting Period.Day 1 through Day 180An AE or suspected adverse reaction is considered "serious" if, in the view of either the investigator or sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes: * Death * A life-threatening AE * Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization * A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions * A congenital anomaly/birth defect * Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalizations may be considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment they may jeopardize the patient or subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.

Following study vaccination on Days 1 and 29, participants were admitted to an inpatient facility and challenged with Shigella sonnei strain 53G on Day 57. From challenge through Day 63, all stools passed by challenged participants were graded for consistency, all grade 3-5\* stools were visually assessed for gross blood, and all gross blood-containing stools were confirmed via hemoccult test. A blinded endpoint review committee of independent Shigella experts determined whether shigellosis occurred for each participant based on number, weight, consistency, and hemoccult-positive status of stools, along with the presence of additional enteric symptoms. \*Stool consistency was graded according to the following scale: 1 = Normal stool (best outcome); 2 = Soft stool; 3 = Loose stool; 4 = Watery stool; 5 = Rice water (worst outcome).

Time frame: Day 57 through Day 63

Population: The Full Analysis Population includes all randomized participants who were challenged with complete data for the primary efficacy endpoint. Participants will be analyzed according to the study arm to which they were randomized.

Number and Percentage of Participants With Vaccine-related Unsolicited AEs Through 28 Days Post Last Vaccination

ICH E6 defines an AE as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product regardless of its causal relationship to the study treatment. FDA defines an AE as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of medicinal (investigational) product. The occurrence of an AE may come to the attention of study personnel during study visits and interviews of a study recipient presenting for medical care, or upon review by a study monitor. An AE is considered related if there is a reasonable possibility that the study product caused the AE. Reasonable possibility means that there is evidence to suggest a causal relationship between the study product and the AE.

Peak Fold-rise From Pre-challenge in Anti-LPS (Lipopolysaccharide) and Anti-Invaplex Serum IgG (Immunoglobulin G) and IgA (Immunoglobulin A) Titer

Serum was collected post-challenge at Days 64, 71, 85, and 113 to assess IgG and IgA antibody responses against LPS and Invaplex (Shigella sonnei antigens) as measured by Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA). The peak fold-rise is calculated per participant at the maximum titer value post-challenge compared to pre-challenge and is summarized by study arm via geometric mean fold-rise and 95% confidence interval.

Time frame: Day 64 through Day 113

Population: This analysis includes participants in the Immunogenicity Population who were challenged. The Immunogenicity Population consists of all participants who received any study product and for whom immunogenicity endpoint data are available.

Peak Fold-rise From Pre-vaccination in Anti-LPS (Lipopolysaccharide) and Anti-Invaplex Serum IgG (Immunoglobulin G) and IgA (Immunoglobulin A) Titer

Serum was collected post-vaccination and pre-challenge at Day 15 (post-dose 1), Day 29 (pre-dose 2), Day 43 (post-dose 2), and Day 56 (post-dose 2) to assess IgG and IgA antibody responses against LPS and Invaplex (Shigella sonnei antigens) as measured by Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA). The peak fold-rise is calculated per participant at the maximum titer value post-vaccination (and before challenge) compared to pre-vaccination and is summarized by study arm via geometric mean fold-rise and 95% confidence interval.

Time frame: Day 15 through Day 56

Population: The Immunogenicity Population consists of all participants who received any study product and for whom immunogenicity endpoint data are available. Participants were analyzed according to the study product actually received, not necessarily the study product to which a participant was randomized.

The Proportion of Participants With Shigellosis Following Challenge With S. Sonnei 53G Through Day 63 in Participants Receiving 1 Dose of 10^6 Cfu, 2 Doses of 10^6 Cfu, or 2 Doses of 5x10^5 Cfu of WRSs2 Compared to Those Receiving Two Doses of Placebo.

Following study vaccination on Days 1 and 29, participants were admitted to an inpatient facility and challenged with Shigella sonnei strain 53G on Day 57. From challenge through Day 63, all stools passed by challenged participants were graded for consistency, all grade 3-5\* stools were visually assessed for gross blood, and all gross blood-containing stools were confirmed via hemoccult test. A blinded endpoint review committee of independent Shigella experts determined whether shigellosis occurred for each participant based on number, weight, consistency, and hemoccult-positive status of stools, along with the presence of additional enteric symptoms. \*Stool consistency was graded according to the following scale: 1 = Normal stool (best outcome); 2 = Soft stool; 3 = Loose stool; 4 = Watery stool; 5 = Rice water (worst outcome).

Time frame: Day 57 through Day 65

Population: The Full Analysis Population includes all randomized participants who were challenged with complete data for the primary efficacy endpoint. Participants were analyzed according to the study arm to which they were randomized.
