Summary

This is a Phase 1b, randomized, double-blind, dose-escalating, age de-escalating, placebo-controlled study of 200 children, ages 6 months to 17 years. This clinical trial is designed to assess the safety, tolerability/reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of one and two doses of Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 influenza vaccine (manufactured by FluGen) administered intranasally in seven cohorts of children. The study design includes pre-planned Safety Review Committee( SRC) reviews.

The first two groups to be vaccinated will be Cohorts 1 and 2. Cohort 1 consists of 45 children 9-17 years old. Thirty of them will receive one dose of the vaccine at a dose of 10\^9 TCID50, and 15 will receive one dose of placebo. Cohort 2 comprises 45 children 2-8 years old. Thirty of them will receive one dose of the vaccine at a dose of 10\^8 TCID50 and 15 will receive one dose of placebo.

Cohort 3 consists of 25 children 2-8 years old. 15 of them will receive one dose of vaccine at 10\^9 TCID50 and 10 will receive one dose of placebo. Once 25 participants in Cohort 3 have completed Day 8 of follow-up, similar to Cohorts 1 and 2, the SRC will review to ensure no halting rules are met and if no rules are met, and the SRC determines it is safe to proceed, simultaneous enrollment into Cohorts 4 and 5 can begin. If any halting rules are met or any concerns are raised by the SRC, an external SMC may meet to discuss the data for recommendations on either progression or clinical trial modification before progression to the next cohort.

Cohort 4 consists of 25 children 2-8 years old; 15 of them will receive two doses of vaccine at 10\^9 TCID50 and 10 will receive two doses of placebo, with a 28-day interval between the first and second doses. Due to the limited availability of product, and funding to support additional years of enrollment into Cohorts 5, 6, and 7, the decision was made to stop enrollment after the final participant was enrolled into Cohort 4.

The primary study objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of one and two administrations of the Sing2016 M2SR H3N2 influenza vaccine at 10\^8 or 10\^9 TCID50 delivered intranasally to healthy participants, 2 to 17 years of age.

Conditions

  • H3N2 Influenza

Interventions

OTHER

Placebo

Physiological saline, i.e., 0.9% sodium chloride.

BIOLOGICAL

Sing2016 M2SR H3N2

Novel intranasal live attenuated influenza vaccine with a defective M2 gene which renders the virus unable to replicate and generate progeny in animals and in humans, making its infectivity self-limiting. It induces both a mucosal and cell-mediated immune response and is administered intranasally. Supplied by Flugen Inc.
