Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 50 Years (Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects must meet all of the following inclusion criteria in order to be eligible for participation in this study. 1. Provide written informed consent prior to any study procedures. 2. Able to understand and comply with planned study procedures and be available for all study visits. 3. Male or non-pregnant female aged 18 to 50, inclusive. 4. Are in good health, as determined by vital signs (oral temperature, pulse, and blood pressure), medical history, and targeted physical examination based on medical history.1 Existing medical diagnoses or conditions (except those in the Subject Exclusion Criteria) must be deemed as stable chronic medical conditions. A stable chronic medical condition is defined as no change in prescription medication, dose, or frequency of medication in the last 3 months (90 days) and health outcomes of the specific disease are considered to be within acceptable limits in the last 6 months (180 days). Any change due to change of health care provider, insurance company, or that is done for financial reasons, as long as in the same class of medication, will not be considered a violation of this inclusion criterion. Any change in prescription medication due to improvement of a disease outcome, as determined by the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, will not be considered a violation of this inclusion criterion. Subjects may be on chronic or as needed (prn) medications if, in the opinion of the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, they pose no additional risk to subject safety or assessment of reactogenicity and immunogenicity. Topical, nasal, and inhaled medications (with the exception of steroids as outlined in the Subjects Exclusion Criteria), vitamins, and contraceptives are permitted. 5. Vital signs (oral temperature, pulse, and blood pressure) are all within normal protocol-defined ranges. Note: The normal protocol-defined ranges for vital signs include (a) oral temperature less than 100.0°F, (b) pulse 50 to 100 bpm, inclusive, (c) systolic blood pressure 85 to 150 mmHg, inclusive, and (d) diastolic blood pressure 55 to 90 mmHg, inclusive. 6. Laboratory tests (alanine aminotransferase, creatinine, white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets) are all within normal protocol-defined reference ranges.33 The normal protocol-defined ranges for laboratory tests include (a) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) of 32 IU/L or less for females or 44 IU/L or less for males, (b) creatinine 1.0 mg/dL or less for females or 1.27 mg/dL or less for males, (c) white blood cells (WBC) between 3.4 x10^3/uL and 10.8 x10^3/uL, inclusive, (d) hemoglobin 11.1 g/dL or greater for females or 12.6 g/dL or greater for males, (e) platelets between 150 x10^3/uL and 379 x10^3/uL, inclusive. Laboratory test results for 2nd and 3rd vaccinations may be at Grade 1 if considered unrelated to study product. 7. Urinalysis with no greater than trace protein and negative for glucose. 8. Female subjects of childbearing potential4 must agree to practice highly effective contraception5 for a minimum of 30 days prior to study product exposure and through 30 days after last vaccination.4 Female subjects who are surgically sterile via tubal sterilization, bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy or who have been postmenopausal for greater than 1 year are not considered to be of childbearing potential.5 Note: Highly effective methods of contraception are defined as having low failure rates (i.e. less than 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly and may include, but are not limited to, abstinence from intercourse with a male partner, monogamous relationship with a vasectomized partner, mal e condoms or diaphragm with spermicide, intrauterine devices, and licensed hormonal methods. 9. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to study vaccination.

Exclusion Criteria:

All subjects who meet any of the following exclusion criteria at baseline will be excluded from participation in the study. 1. Has had known infection due to S. mansoni or has traveled to an endemic area for S. mansoni infection and, during that travel, was potentially exposed to S. mansoni. 2. Has a positive urine pregnancy test prior to vaccination (if female of childbearing potential), or has the intention to become pregnant within 5 months after enrollment in this study. 3. Female subjects who are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed at any given time from the first study vaccination until 30 days after their last study vaccination. 4. Has an acute illness, including an oral temperature of 100.0 degree F or greater, within 72 hours prior to vaccination. 5.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a Phase I, first-in-human study of a vaccine against S. mansoni infection.The study will recruit 72 healthy adult males and non-pregnant females from a single clinical center to test two formulations of Sm-TSP-2 vaccine (using the Alhydrogel® only, and using Alhydrogel® plus GLA-AF), each at 3 different doses: 10ug, 30ug, and 100ug. The primary objective is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of ascending doses of Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel® (10ug, 30ug, or 100ug) with or without GLA-AF vaccine given as three doses administered on Days 1, 57, and 113.
Detailed Description
This is a Phase I, first-in-human study of a vaccine against S. mansoni infection.The study will recruit 72 healthy adult males and non-pregnant females from a single clinical center to test two formulations of Sm-TSP-2 vaccine (using the Alhydrogel® only, and using Alhydrogel® plus GLA-AF), each at 3 different doses: 10ug, 30ug, and 100ug. The study will use a dose-escalation cohort design, in which escalation to the next dose cohort will be determined based on evaluation of pre-defined escalation criteria requiring 7 day safety data to be examined after all subjects in the current cohort have received their first dose of vaccine. For each Cohort (1-3), an initial 5 subjects (2 Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel®, 2 Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel®/GLA-AF, and 1 placebo) will be enrolled, randomized, vaccinated, and have completed Visit 2 (Day 3), before enrolling the rest of the cohort. As with dose-escalation decisions, evidence of significant reactogenicity will require further review prior to proceeding.Recruitment and enrollment into the study will occur on an ongoing basis, with each cohort being recruited and vaccinated in sequence. All subjects will be assigned investigational vaccine or placebo by randomization, and a double-blind design will be used (i.e., neither the subject nor the investigator will be aware of the study product assigned: Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel®, Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel®/GLA-AF, or placebo). Each subject will receive 3 vaccinations at Days 1, 57, and 113, and will be followed for a total of 12 months after the third dose. The study duration will be approximately 24 months, and subject participation duration will be approximately 16 months. The primary objective is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of ascending doses of Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel® (10ug, 30ug, or 100ug) with or without GLA-AF vaccine given as three doses administered on Days 1, 57, and 113. The secondary objectives include: (1) to assess the IgG antibody response using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at Day 127; (2) to assess the IgG antibody response using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 14 days after dose one and two and Day 203 and 293 (3 and 6 months after the third dose) of Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel® (10ug, 30ug, or 100ug) with or without GLA-AF; (3) To assess the duration of the IgG antibody response using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) following receipt of three doses of Sm-TSP-2/Alhydrogel® (10ug, 30ug, or 100ug) with or without GLA-AF.
