About this trial

This is an interventional prevention trial for Influenza focused on measuring Influenza, Vaccines, H5N1

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 49 Years (Adult)All SexesAccepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • male or female aged 18 - 49 years inclusive
  • give written informed consent to participate
  • healthy, as determined by medical history, physical examination
  • comprehension of the study requirements
  • willing to provide multiple blood specimens collected by venipuncture.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects who have a psychiatric illness, a chronic illness that would interfere with participation or interpretation of results
  • clinically significant abnormal liver function tests
  • positive serology for HBsAg or HCV antibodies
  • impaired immune responses
  • history of anaphylactic type reaction to injected vaccines
  • history of drug or chemical abuse in the year prior to screening
  • history of Guillain-Barré Syndrome
  • history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or history of other lung disease

Sites / Locations

  • Miami Research Associates
  • Johnson County Clin-Trials

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

VAX161B

Arm Description

Dose escalating study where subjects are treated with VAX161B at one of six dose levels. Subjects will be injected with VAX161B twice during the study at Day 0 and Day 21. The dosages are: 1 mcg; 2.5 mcg; 4 mcg; 6 mcg; 8 mcg; and 12 mcg.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Safety
Assess safety, reactogenicity and tolerability. Symptoms will be collected from the memory aid and from the information collected at the clinic visits. All symptoms will be graded according to severity. Response to vaccine will be categorized as local (arm pain, redness, bruising, etc.) or systemic (headache, muscle aches, fatigue, etc.) symptoms. Laboratory tests such as CRP, WBC, LFTs and cytokines collected before and after vaccination will also be analyzed. We will compare the types and severity of symptoms and laboratory results based on vaccine dose.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Immunogenicity
To assess serum immune response, sera collected at Days 0, 21, 42 and 180 will be analyzed for HAI, MN, serum IgG anti-HA and serum IgG anti-flagellin by Elisa. The geometric mean, seroconversion and seroprotection rates will be determined.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of VAX161B [STF2.HA5 H5N1], a recombinant, inactivated, subunit influenza vaccine given as a two dose regimen at a range of doses.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to test an investigational vaccine known as "VAX161B". VAX161B is a vaccine for the influenza A virus subtype H5N1 avian influenza virus (bird flu). In this study, the subject will receive the VAX161B vaccine at one of five doses to see which does might be the best. VaxInnate want to find out how safe these vaccines are and how well they are tolerated by people who receive them. To measure how effective each type of vaccine is, VaxInnate will test the ability of the body to develop an immune response, which means how well the body recognizes and defends itself against the influenza virus.
