Details and patient eligibility

About

This study is a Phase 1, 2-part, randomised, double-blind, controlled, clinical trial to evaluate the safety and immune response of CodaVax-H1N1 in healthy adults aged 18 to 49 years. Participants will be enrolled in autumn 2022 (southern hemisphere) and followed through the 2022 influenza season (Part A) or enrolled in autumn 2023 and followed through the 2023 influenza season (Part B). Participants will be screened within 28 days of randomization, and eligible participants in Part A will be enrolled into 1 of 3 sequential cohorts and randomised to receive a single dose of CodaVax-H1N1, placebo (normal saline), or licenced injectable seasonal influenza vaccine (Flucelvax Quad). Each subsequent cohort will include a higher dose of CodaVax H1N1 than the previous cohort, in addition to placebo and the licensed injectable seasonal influenza vaccine. In Part B, 24 eligible participants will be enrolled into 1 of 2 sequential cohorts and randomised to receive a single IM dose of CodaVax-H1N1 or placebo.

Full description

This study is a Phase 1, 2-part, randomised, double-blind, controlled, clinical trial to evaluate the safety and immune response of CodaVax-H1N1 in healthy adults aged 18 to 49 years. Participants will be enrolled in autumn 2022 (southern hemisphere) and followed through the 2022 influenza season (Part A) or enrolled in autumn 2023 and followed through the 2023 influenza season. Participants will be screened within 28 days of randomization, and eligible participants in Part A will be enrolled into 1 of 3 sequential cohorts and randomised to receive a single dose of CodaVax-H1N1, placebo (normal saline), or licensed injectable seasonal influenza vaccine (Flucelvax Quad). Each subsequent cohort will include a higher dose of CodaVax H1N1 than the previous cohort, in addition to placebo and the licensed injectable seasonal influenza vaccine. In Part B, 24 eligible participants will be enrolled into 1 of 2 additional sequential cohorts and randomised to receive a single IM dose of CodaVax-H1N1 or placebo.

Participants will record reactogenicity events (local events, systemic events, and temperature) in a daily diary for 7 days after the dose. Each participant will be contacted by telephone on the day after dosing for safety assessment and review of the diary data. Participants will return to the clinic on Days 4, 8, 29, 91, and 181 for safety and immune response assessments.

All adverse events and concomitant medications will be recorded from signing of the informed consent form (ICF) to 28 days postdose. After 28 days until the end of the study, only medically attended adverse events (MAAEs), new onset chronic illnesses (NCIs), serious adverse events (SAEs), immunosuppressive medications, blood products like transfusions or infusions, and vaccines will be recorded. A complete physical examination will be performed at Screening, and targeted and symptom-driven physical examinations will be performed predose on Day 1, 2 hours postdose, and at each postdose visit through Day 91. Vital signs will be measured at the same time points. An electrocardiogram (ECG) will be performed at Screening and on Day 29.

A serum sample will be collected predose and on Days 29, 91, and 181 for measurement of immune response.

A whole blood sample will be collected predose and on Day 8 and PBMCs isolated for measurement of T-cell response.

If a participant experiences acute symptoms compatible with viral respiratory infection, nasopharyngeal swab samples will be collected for a rapid influenza diagnostic test and respiratory virus PCR assay panel (including SARS-CoV-2) as indicated for symptomatic respiratory infection and will perform the rapid influenza diagnostic test.

The primary analysis of study data will be conducted after all participants complete the Day 29 visit. The final analysis will be conducted at the end of the study.
