Efficacy and Acceptability of a Monkeypox Curriculum for Disproportionately Impacted Communities
Description

The study team will create an online module via the REDCap platform. The module will include around 5 videos and several infographics covering the topics of symptoms, transmission, prevention, vaccination, and treatment of the monkeypox virus. Surveys assessing the primary and secondary study endpoints will be given to participants before and after the module. The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and acceptability of an educational presentation on monkeypox in a cohort of individuals recruited from Rainbow Health and to secondarily assess participant risk perception, intention to vaccinate, and confidence in public health initiatives.

A Clinical Study Investigating the Safety and Immune Responses After Immunization With Investigational Monkeypox Vaccines
Description

This is a dose-escalation, Phase I/II study evaluating the safety, tolerability, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the investigational RNA-based multivalent vaccine candidate BNT166a for active immunization against monkeypox (mpox). This study started with substudy A (SSA) and substudy B (SSB) for which recruitment has been completed. A Substudy C (SSC) was planned, but the sponsor decided not to conduct it. This study will therefore continue with substudy D (SSD). In SSA and SSB, dosing started with an initial sentinel group, followed by the expansion cohort. This study was initially planned to investigate two vaccine candidates (the quadrivalent BNT166a and the trivalent BNT166c). The sponsor decided to not activate the groups with BNT166c.

Trial to Evaluate the Immunogenicity of Dose Reduction Strategies of the MVA-BN Monkeypox Vaccine
Description

This study is a Phase 2 randomized, open-label, non-placebo controlled, multi-site clinical trial that will evaluate two intradermal (ID) regimens for Modified Vaccinia Ankara-Bavarian Nordic (MVA-BN) vaccine compared to the standard subcutaneous (SC) regimen in healthy, vaccinia-naïve adults 18 to 50 years of age, inclusive. At least 210 participants will be enrolled and randomized to one of three study arms. The two dose sparing strategies include one-fifth (2 x 10\^7) and one-tenth (1 x 10\^7) of the standard dose of MVA-BN administered ID on Day 1 and 29 (Arm 1 and 2, respectively). The comparator arm (Arm 3) will be the 2-dose standard (1 x 10\^8) MVA-BN SC regimen. The study will enroll a 1:1:1 randomization allocation. Participants will not be stratified by clinical trial site, demographic characteristics or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection status; however, these data will be collected during screening and enrollment. Each participant may be screened either in a separate visit in the 7 days prior to Day 1 or on Day 1. The primary hypothesis involves a two-step hierarchical process. The study will first test non-inferiority of the 2 x 10\^7 ID regimen relative to 1 x 10\^8 SC (standard dose regimen). If the 2 x 10\^7 ID regimen is non-inferior to the standard dose regimen, hypothesis testing will proceed to test non-inferiority of the 1 x 10\^7 ID regimen relative to the standard dose regimen. The primary objectives are: 1) to determine if peak humoral immune responses following an ID regimen of 2 x 10\^7 50% Tissue Culture Infectious Dose (TCID50) MVA-BN are non-inferior to the licensed regimen of 1 x 10\^8 MVA-BN administered SC; 2) to determine if peak humoral immune responses following an ID regimen of 1 x 10\^7 TCID50 MVA-BN are non-inferior to the licensed regimen of 1 x 10\^8 MVA-BN administered SC.

Virologic and Immunologic Characteristics of Severe Mpox in Persons With Advanced HIV
Description

The purpose of this study is to examine the extent of mpox viral spread and immunologic markers in people with advanced HIV. Study findings will enhance knowledge of mpox pathogenesis in severely immunocompromised people, which can inform treatment and prevention of severe illness and deaths associated with mpox in people with advanced HIV.

COMPLETED
A Phase 2 Randomized Multisite Trial to Inform Public Health Strategies Involving the Use of MVA-BN Vaccine for Mpox
Description

This study is a Phase 2 open-label, non-placebo controlled, multi-site clinical trial that will evaluate the standard SC regimen in adolescents ages 12 through 17 years, inclusive, and compared to the standard subcutaneous regimen in adults ages 18 to 50, inclusive. Approximately 135 healthy, vaccinia-naïve adults will be enrolled in a comparator arm (Arm 4) and will be given the standard, licensed regimen of 1x10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN administered SC on Day 1 and 29. These adults (Arm 4) will be combined with the 76 healthy, vaccinia-naïve adults that received the standard SC regimen in Stage 1 (Arm 3). Together, this will be the comparator group for non-inferiority testing for the primary endpoint. Approximately 315 healthy, vaccinia-naïve adolescents will be enrolled and given 1x10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN administered SC on Days 1 and 29 (Arm 5). The study will have a set target enrollment of at least 25% adolescents ages 12 to 14 years, inclusive, to ensure that adequate numbers of younger adolescents are enrolled. The primary objectives are 1.) to determine if peak (Day 43) humoral immune responses in adolescents ages 12 to 17 years following administration of a 2-dose 1 x 10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN regimen administered SC are non-inferior to the response in adults ages 18 to 50 years who received the licensed 2-dose SC regimen of 1 x 10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN ; and 2.) to describe safety of a 2-dose 1 x 10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN regimen administered SC in adolescents ages 12 to 17 years.

New York City Observational Study of Mpox Immunity
Description

The goal of this study is to assess the immune response, tolerance, and safety of the low-dose intradermal (forearm) mpox vaccine in people who are HIV+ compared to people who are HIV-, and compared to the standard-dose subcutaneous (upper arm) vaccine. The resulting data will fill knowledge gaps, inform public health practices, and address community concerns about the absence of data for low-dose intradermal mpox vaccinations in people living with HIV.

Phase I Trial of an Investigational Small Pox Medication
Description

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters and safety of a single dose of ST-246 400mg Form I versus ST-246 400mg Form V capsules in fed normal healthy volunteers.

WITHDRAWN
SIGA-246 to Treat Smallpox
Description

This study will test an experimental antiviral drug called SIGA-246 for use against the smallpox virus (variola). Although smallpox has been universally eradicated, it could possibly be brought back as a bioweapon. In the event of a smallpox attack, it would be best to have an antiviral medication in addition to the smallpox vaccine. SIGA-246 has shown to have activity against other viruses from the same family (orthopoxvirus) that smallpox belongs to. Healthy volunteers who are 18-50 years of age and are not pregnant or breastfeeding may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history and physical examination, blood and urine tests, and an electrocardiogram. Participants are randomly assigned to receive a one-time dose of SIGA-246 (either 500 mg, 1000 mg, or 2000 mg) or a placebo (sugar pill) taken by mouth. They report to the clinic in the morning for the following procedures: * Insertion of intravenous (IV) line in the forearm. * Blood and urine tests before taking the study drug. * Drug administration within 30 minutes of eating a light breakfast. * Blood sampling from the IV line at 30 minutes and at 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5 and 6, 10 and 12 hours after taking SIGA-246 to determine how the drug is absorbed, distributed, broken down and excreted. Samples are also collected by needle stick at 24 and 48 hours for the same tests. * Electrocardiogram at 2 hours and 24 hours after taking SIGA-246. * 24-hour urine collection after taking the SIGA-246. * Complete diary card at home for 7 days after taking the SIGA-246. * Follow-up visits at about 2 weeks and about 4 weeks after taking SIGA-246. * Checks for health changes or problems at every visit.
