Study Summary

This trial will compare the safety and effectiveness of two different vaccines for adults ages 18-55.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18 to 55, in stable health or with a stable pre-existing condition, can join this trial. They must be able to follow the study plan and give informed consent. Women who could get pregnant must use effective birth control and have negative pregnancy tests before vaccination.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This Phase 2 trial is testing how well adults respond to an rF1V vaccine with CpG 1018® adjuvant compared to just the rF1V vaccine alone for preventing diseases like pneumonic plague. Participants are randomly assigned to one of these two groups without knowing which one.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from the vaccines may include typical reactions at the injection site such as pain, redness, swelling, as well as general symptoms like fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Assess the serum Bridge ELISA concentration to rF1V vaccine with CpG 1018® adjuvant compared with rF1V vaccine 28 days after the second dose of vaccine
Assess the utility of a 2-dose schedule of rF1V vaccine with CpG 1018® adjuvant
Select one method of administration of rF1V vaccine with CpG 1018® adjuvant for Part 2
Secondary outcome measures
To assess the safety and tolerability of rF1V vaccine with CpG 1018® adjuvant compared with rF1V vaccine as measured by rates of reactogenicity and adverse events using grading system in CBER's toxicity guidance document.
To assess the serum Bridge ELISA concentration to rF1V vaccine with CpG 1018® adjuvant at selected time points after each dose
Other outcome measures
To assess long term clinical benefit from rF1V vaccine with CpG 1018® adjuvant compared with rF1V vaccine
To assess the peak serum bridge ELISA concentration from rF1V vaccine with CpG 1018® adjuvant compared with rF1V vaccine 28 days after the complete series
To assess the serum Bridge ELISA concentration to rF1 and rV with CpG1018® adjuvant at selected time points after each dose

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How many study participants are there in total?

"This clinical trial needs 200 individuals that fit the given inclusion criteria. There are many sites where patients can take part in this research, such as Optimal Research California and Optimal Research Texas."

Answered by AI

Has the FDA cleared rF1V vaccine and CpG 1018® adjuvant for use?

"While there is some clinical evidence suggesting that the rF1V vaccine and CpG 1018® adjuvant are safe, Power rates this as a 2 because there is no data supporting efficacy."

Answered by AI

Could I join the ranks of this research project?

"In order to participate in this trial, patients must be aged 18-55 and have plague. Additionally, the following criteria must be met: adults aged 18-55 years old, in good health or with a pre-existing medical condition that is under control, no major changes in medication within 3 months of Day 1, no recent surgical procedures or hospitalizations/emergency room visits related to the specific medical condition, willing and able to comply with the study schedule and procedures, willing and able to provide written informed consent, using contraception as specified below.This trial is looking for 200 participants who meet the above criteria."
