About
This study is a study to evaluate the safety of ZPIV. Three dose levels may be evaluated. The entire duration of each subject's participation is approximately 14 months including recruitment and collection of data on the safety and reactogenicity of the study vaccine and samples for the assessment of immunogenicity. This study is expected to take approximately 30 months to complete from initiation through availability of a final report on the primary outcomes of safety and the secondary outcomes of humoral immunity to ZIKV. The Primary objectives of this study are to 1. Assess the safety and reactogenicity of a homologous prime boost regimen of ZPIV given at three different dose levels and 2. Compare the safety and reactogenicity profile of ZPIV after each vaccination and between dosage groups.
Full description
This study is a single-center, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of ZPIV administered in a homologous prime-boost regimen to Flavivirus-naïve healthy male and non-pregnant female adult subjects. Three dose levels may be evaluated: 5.0 mcg, 2.5 mcg and 10mcg of ZPIV. Each subject will receive either placebo or ZPIV administered by intramuscular (IM) injection on Days 1 and 29. The study will consist of a screening period of up to 28 days, a vaccination period in which subjects will receive a prime dose of vaccine on Day 1 followed by a boost on Day 29, and a follow-up period of 12 months post boost vaccination. The entire duration of each subject's participation is approximately 14 months including recruitment and collection of data on the safety and reactogenicity of the study vaccine and samples for the assessment of immunogenicity. This study is expected to take approximately 30 months to complete from initiation through availability of a final report on the primary outcomes of safety and the secondary outcomes of humoral immunity to ZIKV. The Primary objectives of this study are to 1. Assess the safety and reactogenicity of a homologous prime boost regimen of ZPIV given at three different dose levels, and 2. Compare the safety and reactogenicity profile of ZPIV after each vaccination and between dosage groups. The secondary objectives of this study are to 1. Assess the humoral immune response overall and by dosage group to a homologous prime-boost regimen of ZPIV as determined by kinetics of the immune responses, seroconversion rates, and peak Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) and to 2. Assess the durability of the humoral immune response overall and by dosage group to ZPIV at 6 and 12 months after the second vaccine administration.

Must be in good health based on the investigator's clinical judgment when considering findings from past medical history, medication use, vital signs, and an abbreviated physical examination.
Note 1: Good health is defined by the absence of any medical condition described in the exclusion criteria in a subject with a normal abbreviated physical exam and vital signs. If the subject has a preexisting condition not listed in exclusion criteria, it cannot meet any of the following criteria: 1) first diagnosed in last 3 months , 2) worsening in terms of clinical outcome in last 6 months; or 3) involves need for medication that may pose a risk to subject's safety or impede assessment of adverse events or immunogenicity if they participate in study Note 2: An abbreviated physical exam differs from a complete exam in that it does not include a genitourinary and rectal exam.
Note 3: Vital signs must be normal by protocol toxicity grading scale or determined to be normal-variant by investigator. In the event of an abnormal heart rate or blood pressure due to physiological variation or activity, the subject may rest for 10 minutes in a quiet room, and then blood pressure and/or heart rate may be re-measured. Repeated vital signs may be used to determine eligibility 8. Women of childbearing potential* must have a negative serum pregnancy test at screening and a negative urine pregnancy test immediately prior to each vaccination
-
Note: All female subjects are considered of childbearing potential unless postmenopausal or surgically sterilized and >/=3 months have passed since sterilization procedure. Postmenopausal is defined as amenorrhea for >/=12 months without an alternative medical cause. Permanent female sterilization procedures include tubal ligation, bilateral salpingectomy, hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or successful Essure placement.
- Women of childbearing potential must use an acceptable method of contraception* from one month (30 days) prior to the first vaccination until at least 60 days after the last vaccination.
-
Acceptable methods of contraception include the following:
- Use highly effective contraceptive methods, defined by <1% failure rate per year independent of user adherence, including long-acting reversible contraception (LARC): progestin-releasing subdermal implants and intrauterine devices (IUD), OR
- Use effective contraceptive methods, defined by 5-9% failure rate with typical use and <1% failure rate with consistent and correct use, including:

Female subjects must agree to not donate eggs (ova, oocytes) from the start of screening period until at least 60 days after receiving the last vaccination 11. Subjects must provide concurrent consent at the time of enrollment and 1st vaccination to future use of stored blood samples to measure immunity to ZIKV
