A Human Challenge Study to Assess Protection of a Shigella Tetravalent Bioconjugate Vaccine
Description

In this challenge study, the bioconjugate candidate vaccine Shigella4V2 will be tested for its ability to induce an immune response that protects healthy adult volunteers from infection with a wild-type Shigella sonnei strain compared to participants receiving placebo.

Conditions
COMPLETED
Controlled Human Infection Model Challenge/Rechallenge
Description

The goal of this study is to better understand Shigella immunity. The study will compare the shigellosis rate in participants previously challenged with a different Shigella serotype to the attack rate in participants not previously exposed to Shigella (naive participants).

A Study to Determine If a New Shigella Vaccine is Safe, Induces Immunity and The Best Dose Among Kenyan Infants
Description

In this study, the tetravalent bioconjugate candidate vaccine Shigella4V will be tested to obtain first-in-human data on its safety and immunogenicity in infants and to identify the preferred dose of Shigella4V in 9 month old infants.

Phase 2b Challenge Study With the Bioconjugate Vaccine Flexyn2a
Description

In this proof of concept challenge study, the bioconjugate candidate vaccine Flexyn2a will be tested for its ability to induce an immune response that protects healthy adult volunteers from infection with a wild-type Shigella flexneri 2a strain compared to subjects receiving placebo.

Safety and Immunogenicity of Artificial Invaplex (Shigella Flexneri 2a InvaplexAR)
Description

This study is an open-label, dose-escalating Phase 1 investigation of S. flexneri 2a InvaplexAR vaccine. A total of up to 40 subjects will receive one of four S. flexneri 2a InvaplexAR vaccine doses. The vaccine will be administered intranasally (without adjuvant).

COMPLETED
Safety and Tolerability of a Bioconjugate Vaccine Against Shigella Flexneri 2a
Description

This is a phase I, single-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, single-center study in healthy subjects using a staggered approach to dosing. 30 subjects will be randomized to receive 10 μg Flexyn2a candidate vaccine with or without adjuvant or placebo.

COMPLETED
Safety Study of Inactivated Shigella Whole Cell Vaccine in Adults
Description

This is a research study about an experimental (investigational) oral inactivated whole cell Shigella flexneri 2a killed vaccine (Sf2aWC). Sf2aWC is a killed vaccine that is being made to prevent disease from Shigella., which causes bloody, watery diarrhea. Infants and children living in developing countries experience the greatest consequences of this disease. The purpose of this study is to find a dose of the vaccine that is safe, tolerable, and develops an immune response. About 82 healthy adults, ages 18-45, will participate in this study. This study will require volunteers to stay in the research facility for several nights for the first dose. Participants in Cohorts 2, 3, and 4 will not be required to stay overnight for the second and third doses. Participants will be assigned to receive 1 of 4 vaccine doses by mouth. Study procedures include: stool samples, blood samples and documenting side effects. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for about 8 months.

Shigella Flexneri 2a Invaplex 50 Vaccine Dose Finding and Assessment of Protection
Description

The purpose of this study is to select a safe and immunogenic dose of Invaplex 50 intranasal vaccine, and to assess protection of Invaplex 50 intranasal vaccine against diarrhea, dysentery, and fever following challenge with the Shigella flexneri 2a 2457T strain.

A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Immunogenicity of a Vaccine Designed to Protect Against Infection With Shigella Sonnei in Healthy Adults
Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of the GSK3536852A vaccine, which was designed to protect against shigellosis caused by Shigella sonnei (S. sonnei) and is using the new Generalized Modules for Membrane Antigens (GMMA) platform technology developed by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Vaccines Institute for Global Health (GVGH). The study vaccine could be the stepping stone for the development of a multivalent broadly protective Shigella vaccine for vaccination of impoverished communities where shigellosis is endemic. However, a standalone monovalent vaccine against S. sonnei could be used to protect travelers against diarrheal shigellosis, as the vast majority of travelers' shigellosis is caused by S. sonnei, and even to protect infants in endemic regions where shigellosis is primarily caused by S. sonnei. The GSK3536852A vaccine has been tested in two Phase I dose escalation studies in Europe to assess its safety and immunogenicity via three routes of administration: intramuscular (IM), intranasal (IN) and intradermal (ID). The results from the first study (dose escalation with IM vaccination) have shown that the vaccine has an acceptable safety profile and is well-tolerated up to a dose of 100 micrograms (µg). The results from the second study (dose escalation with ID, IN and IM vaccination) showed that GSK3536852A vaccine is well-tolerated also when administered by the ID and IN routes of vaccination. However, immunogenicity data have shown that GSK3536852A vaccine administered by the ID and IN routes is not as immunogenic as GSK3536852A vaccine administered by the IM route. Therefore, it has been decided to proceed with the clinical development program of this vaccine only using the IM vaccination route. In terms of dosage, the regimen tested in Phase I studies (three doses given one month apart) did not show any significant benefit from the third dose in terms of immunogenicity, therefore a two dose schedule was selected for next studies. A Phase IIa study, conducted in endemic regions of Africa (i.e., Kenya), has been completed and confirmed the acceptable safety profile and immunogenicity of GSK3536852A vaccine. Performing this vaccine-human challenge study may give the opportunity to establish evidence of clinical protection induced by the candidate S. sonnei vaccine (GSK3536852A vaccine) at an early development stage.

Safety, Immunogenicity and Efficacy Study of Inactivated Whole Cell Shigella Flexneri 2a Vaccine With and Without dmLT in Adults
Description

This is a research study about an experimental (investigational) oral inactivated whole cell Shigella flexneri 2a killed vaccine (Sf2aWC) and an adjuvant called dmLT. Sf2aWC is a killed vaccine that is being made to prevent disease from Shigella., which causes bloody, watery diarrhea. An adjuvant is something that is added to a vaccine to make it work better. The purpose of the study is to see if the vaccine will protect people from Shigella infection with or without an adjuvant called dmLT. About 72 healthy adults, ages 18-45, will participate in this study. The study will compare 2 different vaccination groups and 1 control group. Volunteers have an equal chance to be in any of the 3 groups. Study procedures include: stool samples, blood samples and documenting side effects. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for about 6 months.

Safety and Immunogenicity of Two Live, Attenuated Oral Shigella Sonnei Vaccines: WRSs2 and WRSs3
Description

Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, dose-escalation, inpatient study of single doses of S. sonnei. Health adult subjects, ranging in age from 18 to 45 years of age (inclusive) will be screened. Enroll serial groups up to 90 subjects. The primary objective is to evaluate safety and tolerance of WRSs2 by monitoring presence, frequency and severity of clinical signs and symptoms. A secondary objective is to evaluate the immune response in blood and stool following ingestion of WRSs2 and WRSs3.
