About

GVGH Shigella Sonnei 1970GAHB is a vaccine aimed at preventing the disease caused by Shigella sonnei.

A post-hoc analysis of subjects who participated in the parent study showed significantly different responses in subjects with detectable versus undetectable antibody titres at baseline, suggesting the possibility that the vaccine might not be sufficiently immunogenic in completely naïve adults.

This study was then designed to further characterize the immunogenicity profile of the vaccine and to evaluate whether it was able to induce an immunological memory response.

Enrollment: 35 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 22 to 50 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Males and females, aged 22 to 50 years, who were previously vaccinated, with either vaccine (3 doses) or placebo, in H03_01TP and who had undetectable antibody titers at baseline, or Males and females, aged 22 to 50 years, who were not part of H03_01TP.
• Individuals who, after the nature of the study has been explained to them, and prior to any protocol specific procedures being performed, have given written consent according to local regulatory requirements.
• Individuals in good health as determined by the outcome of medical history, physical examination, hematological blood tests and clinical judgment of the investigator.
• If women of child-bearing potential, have a negative urinary pregnancy test prior study vaccination and willingness to use acceptable birth control measures for the entire study duration.
• Individuals affiliated to a social security regimen.

Exclusion criteria

• Individuals with behavioral or cognitive impairment or psychiatric disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the subject's ability to participate in the study.
