Continued Safety and Immunogenicity Study of a Live Francisella Tularensis Vaccine
This study is not yet open for participant recruitment.
Verified by U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, November 2008
Sponsored by: U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command
Information provided by: U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00787826
  Purpose

This study is designed to determine the safety and immunogenicity of a Live Francisella tularensis Vaccine


Condition Intervention Phase
Tularemia
Biological: Live Francisella Tularensis Vaccine
Phase II

U.S. FDA Resources
Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Prevention, Open Label, Uncontrolled, Single Group Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: A Multi-Site Longitudinal Phase 2 Study for the Continued Evaluation of the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Live Francisella Tularensis Vaccine, NDBR 101, Lot 4 in Healthy Adults At-Risk for Exposure to Francisella Tularensis

Further study details as provided by U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Safety:The nature (body system affected,(local or systemic), severity,frequency of occurrence, relationship to vaccine, treatment or intervention offered if any, and resolution or outcome) and frequency of adverse events for the assessment population. [ Time Frame: AEs recorded 28 days after vaccination/SAEs recorded through duration of study ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Primary Immunogenicity: positive "take" reaction; Secondary Immunogenicity: Microagglutination (MA) titers. Tertiary Immunogenicity: Occurrence of tularemia following exposure to F. tularensis in a successfully vaccinated individual. [ Time Frame: take reaction will be assessed up to day 7 (± 2 days) after vaccination; MA titers will be assessed on days 0, 28-35, and 56-84 after vaccination. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 500
Study Start Date: January 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: May 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date: January 2013 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Intervention Details:
    Biological: Live Francisella Tularensis Vaccine
    Approximately 0.0025 mL of vaccine will be administered percutaneously with a bifurcated needle using 15 pricks on the volar surface of the forearm. Vaccination may be repeated up to two times within the year if successful vaccination is not demonstrated by a positive "take" reaction and a MA titer of ≥ 1:20.
Detailed Description:

Study Objectives:

  1. To assess the safety of live F. tularensis vaccine NDBR 101.
  2. To assess the immunogenicity of live F. tularensis vaccine NDBR 101.
  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   17 Years to 65 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   Yes
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

At least 18 years old, or if on active military duty, 17 years old Females of childbearing potential must agree to have a urine pregnancy test immediately before vaccination (Exception: documented hysterectomy or > 3 years of menopause). The results must be negative. Subjects must agree not to become pregnant for 3 months after receipt of the vaccine.

Subject must be actively enrolled in the SIP at USAMRIID to be vaccinated at USAMRIID.

Subjects must be at risk for exposure to F. tularensis. Subjects must have an up-to-date (within 1 year) medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests on their charts and be medically cleared for participation by an investigator.

Exclusion Criteria:

Over 65 years of age. Individuals with MA titer ≥1:20 who have history of significant exposure (as determined by the PI) to F. tularensis (i.e., raised rabbits, hunted and skinned rabbits, etc.).

Clinically significant abnormal lab results (within 60 days before vaccination) including evidence of Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B carrier state, or elevated liver function tests (2X normal values) or at discretion of PI.

Personal history of an immunodeficiency or current treatment with an oral or intravenous immunosuppressive medication.

Confirmed HIV infection. A medical condition that, in the judgment of the Principal Investigator (PI), would impact subject safety.

Antibiotic therapy within 7 days before vaccination. Pregnancy or lactation. Any known allergies to any components of the vaccine. Administration of another live vaccine within 4 weeks or an inactivated vaccine (generally) within 7 days of tularemia vaccination.

Any unresolved adverse event resulting from a previous immunization. Subject must agree to report any adverse event which may or may not be associated with administration of the test article for at least 28 days after vaccination. All serious and unexpected adverse events will be reported for the duration of the subject's participation in the study.

Subject must be willing to return for all follow-up visits on days 1 and 2 and between days 5-9, 12-16, 28-35, and 56-84 (if needed), all visits for serology, and the close-out interview 4 months (±14 days) after vaccination or revaccination.
