NCT06842173 | NOT YET RECRUITING | Avian Influenza A Virus

Safety and Immunogenicity of the Monovalent Influenza Vaccine A (H5N8) (Inactivated, Fragmented and Adjuvanted) in Adults and Older Adults
Sponsor:

Butantan Institute

Brief Summary:

This study aims to demonstrate the safety and immunogenicity of two formulations of the monovalent influenza vaccine candidate A (H5N8) (inactivated, fragmented, and adjuvanted with IB160) from the Instituto Butantan in adults and older adults, to be developed for situations of pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of avian type A/H5 in humans, in the context of pandemic preparedness.

Condition or disease

Avian Influenza A Virus

Intervention/treatment

Monovalent Influenza Vaccine A (H5N8) (Inactivated, Fragmented, and Adjuvanted) 7.5 mcg

Monovalent influenza vaccine type A (H5N8) 15 mcg

Placebo

Phase

PHASE1

PHASE2

Detailed Description:

This is a clinical trial (randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase I/II) to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of two formulations of the monovalent influenza vaccine candidate A (H5N8) (inactivated, fragmented, and adjuvanted with IB160) from the Instituto Butantan in adults and older adults. Safety will be assessed by the frequency (n, %) of participants with solicited (local and systemic) and unsolicited adverse events reported within 7 days post each vaccination; as well as the frequency of adverse reactions post causality evaluation. Immunogenicity will be assessed by seroprotection and seroconversion rates in the 21 days after the second dose.

  • 11. Having a history of neurological disease, seizures, or progressive or severe neurological disorder.
  • 12. History of malignant neoplasm or previous history of malignant neoplasm being disease-free for 5 years at the date of the first study vaccination (with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin), autoimmune disease (including type 1 diabetes mellitus), liver cirrhosis and renal failure.
  • 13. History of significant, progressive or decompensated chronic disease in the 3 months prior to the date of the first study vaccination (complicated type 2 diabetes mellitus, liver disease, kidney disease, heart disease, advanced arteriosclerotic disease or lung disease such as oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, among others).
  • 14. Having received or using radiotherapy, chemotherapy, cytotoxic drugs, immunosuppressants or immunomodulators in the 6 months prior to the date of the first study vaccination.
