Zip Code: 27704
Conditions: Influenza
Purpose: This research will study safety and the body's immune responses, including anti-H5 flu antibodies (the body's protective proteins found in the blood), for an inactivated influenza"H5" bird flu, virus vaccine. Participants will be assigned by chance to receive the vaccine injections with and without an adjuvant, (substance that can improve vaccine effectiveness so less vaccine may be used) MF59, or placebo (inactive substance). Four different vaccine dose strengths will be evaluated. About 755 healthy participant, ages 18-49 will be asked to take part in this United States based study. Study procedures include physical exam, blood sampling, and use of a memory aid. All volunteers will participate for about 7 months.
Study summary: This study is designed to gather critical information on the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of booster vaccination with influenza A/Anhui/05 with and without the adjuvant MF59 in subjects previously primed with the clade 1 vaccine or unprimed individuals. Primary objectives are: to evaluate booster vaccination with a different variant/clade of A/Anhui/05 vaccine to assess possible prime for a broad immune response by 1 or 2 previous doses of A/Vietnam/1203/04; to compare 1-dose versus 2-dose priming of A/Vietnam/1203/04 followed by heterologous boosting with A/Anhui/05; to assess the safety of MF59 adjuvanted A/Anhui/05 vaccine in primed subjects; and to compare safety and immunogenicity of 1 and 2 doses of A/Anhui/05 with or without MF59 adjuvant, or to saline placebo, in a Phase I dose response study in naïve subjects. Up to 200 healthy adult subjects aged 18 through 49 who were previously enrolled in Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID) 07-0019 and received either 1 or 2 priming doses of A/Vietnam/1203/04 H5 influenza vaccine will be enrolled in this study. Additionally, approximately 555 healthy adult subjects aged 18 through 49 H5 vaccine naïve will be recruited to receive 2 doses, 1 month apart, of A/Anhui/05 vaccine with or without MF59 adjuvant or placebo. Entry criteria for the newly enrolled subjects will be the same as those used in DMID 07-0019. Because extensive safety data were collected for similar H5 vaccines, subjects will not be screened with clinical laboratory tests, and safety labs will not be part of the evaluation process. The booster for Groups 8-9 will be randomized to 1 of 5 possible doses, with approximately 20 subjects per Group (allocation ratio 1:1:1:1:1) in each dose assignment: 3.75 micrograms (mcg) MF59, 7.5 mcg MF59, 15.0 mcg MF59, 15.0 mcg or 90 mcg. Newly enrolled, vaccine naïve subjects in Group 10 will be randomized to 1 of 9 possible dosages with or without MF59 adjuvant, with approximately 50 subjects in each dosage assignment: 3.75 mcg MF59, 3.75 mcg, 7.5 mcg MF59, 7.5 mcg, 15.0 mcg MF59, 15.0 mcg, 45.0 mcg MF59, 45.0 mcg, 90 mcg, or saline placebo with 3 groups of 35 subjects each, receiving different volumes of: one injection of 0.5 mL, one injection of 0.75 mL or 2 injections of 0.75 mL, for comparison. Volunteers will be observed in the clinic for at least 15 minutes after vaccination, and will maintain a Memory Aid to record oral temperature and systemic and local adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) for 8 days after vaccination. Volunteers will be contacted by telephone 1 to 3 days after vaccination (approximately Day 2 post dose) to assess for the occurrence of AEs/SAEs, and they will return to the clinic 7 to 9 days after vaccination (approximately Day 8 post dose) for AE/SAE and concomitant medication assessment, a targeted physical examination (if indicated), and review of the Memory Aid. Volunteers in Group 10 will return to clinic on Day 28 for review of eligibility criteria to receive Dose Number 2 of A/Anhui/05 or placebo. Volunteers in this group will then follow the same study schedule as following the first vaccination. All subjects will continue to be followed for 6 months after the last vaccination. It is anticipated that this study will enroll approximately 755 subjects over 10-14 weeks. This study is linked to DMID protocol 07-0019.
Criteria: Inclusion Criteria: - Men and women, 18 through 49 years old, who either were previously enrolled and received all scheduled vaccinations in Groups 8 and 9 under Division of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (DMID) 07-0019, or are new subjects who deny exposure to H5 virus or participation in an H5 vaccine study. - In good health, as determined by vital signs (heart rate <100 beats per minute; blood pressure: systolic less than or equal to 140 mm Hg and greater than or equal to 90 mm Hg; diastolic less than or equal to 90 mm Hg; oral temperature <100.0 degrees Fahrenheit), medical history to ensure stable medical condition and a targeted physical examination, as indicated, based on medical history. (Stable medical condition-no recent change in prescription medication, dose, or frequency of medication in the last 3 months and health outcomes of the specific disease are considered to be within acceptable limits in the last 6 months. Any change that is due to change of health care provider, insurance company, etc, or is done for financial reasons, as long as in the same class of medication, will not be considered a violation of the inclusion criterion. Any change to prescription medication due to improvement of a disease outcome will not be considered a violation of the inclusion criterion.) - Women of childbearing potential (not surgically sterile or postmenopausal for greater than or equal to 1 year) must not be pregnant as indicated by a negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) within 24 hours prior to vaccine administration. - Women of childbearing potential who are at risk of becoming pregnant must have a history of practicing adequate contraception (i.e., barrier methods, abstinence, monogamous relationship with vasectomized partner, intrauterine devices, Depo-Provera, Norplant, oral contraceptives, contraceptive patches or other licensed, effective methods) in the 30 days prior to enrollment, and must agree to practice adequate contraception until 30 days following receipt of the last dose of vaccine. - Able to understand and comply with planned study procedures. - Able to provide informed consent prior to initiation of any study procedures and be available for all study visits. Exclusion Criteria: - Has occupational exposure to poultry, to include but is not limited to chicken, turkey, or duck farmer, factory worker in poultry processing plant, veterinary staff that handles poultry; has recreational exposure to poultry, e.g. raising poultry in 4-H club, duck hunter that slaughters/handles the "kill" or history of previous H5N1 vaccination or exposure (other than vaccination in Protocol 07-0019). - Has a known allergy to egg proteins (egg or egg products), or other components of the vaccine (including thimerosal, polymyxin, neomycin, beta propiolactone, or nonylphenol ethoxylate). - Is female of child-bearing potential who is breastfeeding or intends to become pregnant during the study period up to 30 days following receipt of the last dose of vaccine. - Has immunosuppression as a result of an underlying illness or treatment with immunosuppressive or cytotoxic drugs, or use of anticancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy within the preceding 36 months. - Has an active neoplastic disease (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer or prostate cancer that is stable in the absence of therapy) or a history of any hematologic malignancy. An active neoplastic disease is defined as no neoplastic disease or treatment for neoplastic disease within the past 5 years. - Has long-term use (> than 2 weeks) of oral or parenteral steroids (glucocorticoids), or high-dose inhaled steroids (>800 micrograms/day of beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent) within the preceding 6 months (nasal and topical steroids are allowed). - Has a history of receiving immunoglobulin or other blood products within the 3 months prior to enrollment in this study. - Has received any other licensed vaccines within 2 weeks (for inactivated vaccines) or 4 weeks (for live vaccines) prior to enrollment in this study, or plans to receive any other licensed vaccines within 2 weeks (for inactivated vaccines) or 4 weeks (for live vaccines) following each study vaccine. - Has an acute or chronic medical condition that would render vaccination unsafe or would interfere with the evaluation of responses.
