A Phase I Study of Lipovaxin Tuberculosis Vaccine in Adult Healthy Populations

Official title

A Phase I, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled Trial to Evaluate Safety and Immunogenicity of Lipovaxin Tuberculosis Vaccine (Bio Farma) in Healthy Populations Aged 18-40 Years in Indonesia

Overview

A Phase I, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled Trial to Evaluate Safety and Immunogenicity of Lipovaxin Tuberculosis Vaccine (Bio Farma) in Healthy Populations Aged 18-40 Years in Indonesia

Detailed description

The primary objectives of this trial is to assess the safety of Lipovaxin in adults aged 18-40 years while the secondary objectives are; (1) To assess the frequency of antigen-specific CD4 and CD8 T cell responses measured by expression of IFN-y, IL-2, or TNF-α between groups, and 2.) To assess serum changes in the levels of antigen-specific total IgG antibodies

Participants will be given two dose of 0.5 ml of Lipovaxin or control IM deltoid region of upper arm. A total of 60 participants will be recruited and randomized to either receive Medium-dose/ High-dose Lipovaksin or Control.

The recruitment will start with 6 sentinel participants, randomised to received mid dose or control vaccine. After evaluation of safety for mid dose of Lipovaksin TB, recruitment will be continued to recruit 24 participants to receive either mid dose or control vaccine. Additionally, 6 sentinel participants will also be recruited to receive either high dose or control vaccine. After evaluation of safety of high dose Lipovaksin TB, recruitment will be continued to recruit the 24 participants to receive either high dose or control vaccine.

All subjects will be evaluated for the local and systemic reactions and safety assessments in 30 minutes, 7 days and 28 days after 1st and 2nd injection. Additionally, the participants will be evaluated on the cellular and humoral immunogenicity in D0 and 14 days after 2nd dose of vaccination.

Interventions

• Biological LipovaxinS4-EAH (Middle Dose)
  0,5 mL of Middle Dose LipovaxinS4-EAH. Administered twice, 28 days apart
• Biological LipovaksinS4-EAH (High Dose)
  0,5 mL of HIgh Dose LipovaxinS4-EAH. Administered twice, 28 days apart
• Biological Placebo
  0,5 mL of Placebo containing NaCl 0.9%. Administered twice, 28 days apart

Primary outcome measures

• Local and systemic reactions [Time frame: 30 minutes, 7 days and 28 days after 1st injection and 2nd injection for all group, and 30 minutes, 7 days and 28 days after 1st injection and 2nd injection and 14 days after 1st dose for sentinel group]
• Any AEs and SAEs [Time frame: until 6 months after 2nd injection]
• Laboratory changes [Time frame: D0, 14 days after 1st injection (sentinel), 28 days after 2nd injection]

Secondary outcome measures (2)

• Cellular Immunogenicity [Time frame: D0 and 14 days after 2nd dose.]
• Humoral Immunogenicity [Time frame: D0 and 28 days after 2nd dose.]
