About
The main objectives of this study are to :
- evaluate the safety and tolerability of trivalent novel oral poliovirus vaccines (tnOPV) in healthy adults, young children, and neonates, relative to those receiving control vaccines;
- evaluate the safety and tolerability of combined novel oral poliovirus vaccine type 1 (nOPV1) + novel oral poliovirus vaccine type 2 (nOPV2) in neonates, relative to those receiving the bivalent (types 1 and 3) oral poliovirus vaccine (bOPV) control.
- compare type-specific cumulative seroconversion rates of poliovirus neutralizing antibody (NAb) titers, among all tnOPV dose combinations, following 4 vaccinations in healthy neonates;
- evaluate the type-specific cumulative seroconversion rate of poliovirus NAb titers among healthy neonates following 4 doses of combined nOPV1+nOPV2.
Full description
This trial will use co-administered novel monovalent types 1, 2, and 3 vaccines to simulate administration of a potential trivalent vaccine and compare to the active control bOPV (bivalent Sabin types 1 and 3) and will be conducted at a single clinical center.
The study population will include healthy adults (≥18 to ≤45 years old) who have previously completed their full routine polio immunization series, healthy young children (≥1 to <5 years old) who have completed their full routine polio immunization series and healthy neonates (day of birth+3 days), who have not received any polio vaccination.
Enrollment in this study will be staggered into two stages and three age-descending cohorts.
Stage 1 will consist of an age-descension/dose escalation approach from adults to young children (Cohorts 1 and 2). Enrollment will begin with Cohort 1, in which 100 adults will be randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to Groups 1 and 2. Following a Protocol Safety Review Team (PSRT) review of the study Day 8 safety data (i.e. safety data reported up to 7 days post-vaccination #1, collected at Visit 2) of the adults in Cohort 1, and the absence of any safety concerns, 200 young children in Cohort 2 will be randomly allocated in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to Groups 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively.
After the completion of enrollment of Cohort 2, the study will move into Stage 2. In addition to a PSRT review of Day 8 safety data of the young children in Cohort 2, there are two triggers of data from other studies to initiate the enrollment into Cohort 3:
- Absence of safety concerns upon the safety data reviews occurring at least 8 days after receipt of the first dose of 107.5 CCID50 nOPV1 or 107.5 CCID50 nOPV3 by the first 60 IPV-vaccinated infants enrolled in each of the Phase 2 monovalent trials CVIA 093 and CVIA 101, respectively (the first 45 nOPV:15 mOPV participants randomized per dose pair).
- Favorable immunogenicity data (homotypic anti-polio serum neutralizing antibody titers) from the Phase 2 monovalent nOPV1 study (CVIA 093) in IPV-vaccinated infants, and the Phase 2 monovalent nOPV3 study (CVIA 101) in young children.
Stage 2 will consist of dose exploration in neonates (Cohort 3). In Cohort 3, Groups 7-14, 2100 neonates will be randomly allocated in a 3:3:3:3:3:3:2:1 ratio, respectively.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria
Inclusion Criteria for all participants:
-
Healthy, as defined by the absence of any clinically significant medical condition or congenital anomaly as determined by medical history, physical examination, and clinical assessment of the investigator.
-
Participant or parent of the participant is willing and able to provide written informed consent prior to performance of any study-specific procedure.
-
Resides and plans to remain in study area and participants and parent, when applicable, understands and is able and willing to adhere to all study visits and procedures (as evidenced by a signed informed consent form [ICF] and assessment by the investigator).
Inclusion Criteria for Cohort 1 participants only:
-
Males or females, from 18 to 45 years of age (inclusive) at the time of enrollment.
-
If female and of childbearing potential*, not breastfeeding and not pregnant (based on a negative urine pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test during the 24 hours prior to any study vaccination [if screening occurs within 24 hours prior to vaccination, a single negative pregnancy test is acceptable]), agreeing to not become pregnant through other means (e.g., artificial insemination and IVF) and have repeated pregnancy tests prior to any study vaccination, and having practiced adequate contraception** for 30 days prior to first study vaccination and willing to continue using adequate contraception consistently for at least 90 days after the last study vaccination.
-
Born and raised in Bangladesh in 1990 or later; if born before 1990 or not born and raised in Bangladesh, has documentation of a complete poliomyelitis immunization series containing OPV or IPV.
Inclusion Criteria for Cohort 2 participants only:
-
Male or female child from 1 to less than 5 years of age at the time of enrollment (from the first birthday up to the day prior to the fifth birthday).
-
Based on documentation, previously received a 3 or 4 dose primary poliomyelitis immunization series containing bOPV ± IPV, with last dose received more than 3 months prior to initial study vaccination.
Inclusion Criteria for Cohort 3 participants only:
-
Male or female newborn neonate (day of birth+ 3-day window), at the time of initial study vaccination.
-
Prior to study vaccination has received no doses of IPV or OPV or rotavirus vaccine, based upon documentation or parental history.
-
Agreement to receive polio EPI vaccines under a modified schedule.
Exclusion Criteria
Exclusion Criteria for all participants (unless otherwise specified):
-
Presence of anyone under 10 years of age in the participant's household (living in the same house or apartment unit) who does not have complete "age appropriate" vaccination status with respect to poliovirus vaccines based on the vaccination records at the time of study vaccine administration. For household members younger than 10 years of age-appropriate vaccination is a complete series of at least three doses of OPV.
