Summary

The goal of this phase I, open-label, randomized, active-controlled Trial is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the DuoChol Oral Cholera Vaccine in 18 to 45 years old healthy participants in Sweden. This first-in-human study is intended to obtain initial data on the DuoChol oral cholera vaccine safety and its effect on immune responses in a cholera non-endemic setting to guide future studies in cholera endemic population. The Investigators will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity after each dose vaccination of DuoChol Oral Cholera Vaccine/Dukoral®.

The participants will be randomly assigned to receive 2 vaccinations at 14-day intervals of DuoChol or Dukoral® in a 2:1 ratio. Participants in the DuoChol arm will receive one capsule of DuoChol on days 0 and 14. Participants in the Dukoral® arm will receive the standard dose as indicated in the Dukoral® package insert. The Investigators will follow-up the participants for 4 weeks after the second vaccination.

The study is funded by Wellcome Trust, grant number : 226726/Z/22/Z.

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

DuoChol

A lyophilized formulation in capsule form (approximately 150mg) contains: - 0.9 mg in 1:1 ratio of formalin inactivated bacteria of two isogenic V. cholerae O1 El Tor strains: serotype Inaba (MS1955) and serotype Ogawa (MS1987) - 0.9 mg of recombinant cholera toxin B subunit (rCTB).

BIOLOGICAL

Dukoral®

3 ml of suspension in a vial contains: * 31.25x10\^9 bacteria\* (approximately) of each of the following V. cholerae O1 strains: Inaba classical biotype (heat inactivated), Inaba El Tor biotype (formalin inactivated), Ogawa classical biotype (heat inactivated), Ogawa classical biotype (formalin inactivated) * 1 mg Recombinant cholera toxin B subunit (rCTB) 5.6 g of effervescent powder (buffer) in a sachet contains Sodium hydrogen carbonate, citric acid, sodium carbonate, saccharin sodium, sodium citrate and raspberry flavor.
