Summary

A nonrandomized, open-label trial will be conducted with a total of 64 healthy male and non-pregnant females, ages 18-45 years. Participants in Group A will enroll 32 participants to receive 2x10\^6 colony- forming units CFU TICE(R) BCG vaccination on Day 1 and 4x10\^6 CFU challenge on Day 181. Once enrollment has been completed in Group A, participants in Group B will be enrolled sequentially to receive 4x10\^6 CFU challenge. The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety of intradermal (ID) TICE(R) BCG for use as a human challenge model for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection and to examine BCG shedding from challenge sites in participants who had received ID vaccination with TICE(R) BCG or were not vaccinated six months prior.
