A Study on the Safety and Immune Responses to the GVGH altSonflex1-2-3 Vaccine Against Shigellosis in Adults, Children, and Infants

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The aim of the current clinical study is to evaluate, for the first time in humans (FTIH), the safety and immunogenicity of the altSonflex1-2-3 candidate vaccine against S. sonnei and S. flexneri serotypes 1b, 2a, and 3a. The vaccine will be first administered in adults 18 to 50 years of age in Europe. Subsequently, the vaccine will be administered to a shigellosis-endemic population in Africa, first in adults 18 to 50 years of age, then in children 24 to 59 months of age, and finally in infants 9 months of age. Infants will also receive a third vaccination. Three different doses of the vaccine [low (Dose A), medium (Dose B), and high (Dose C) amounts of antigen] will be evaluated using an age de-escalation approach (from least vulnerable adult population to most vulnerable paediatric population). The results of this study will allow the selection of the most appropriate dose for further vaccine development in infants 9 months of age, which is the main target age group for this vaccine.

Any study personnel or immediate dependents, family, or household member. Adults 18 to 50 years of age: Acute or chronic illness, clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal functional abnormality, as determined by physical examination or laboratory screening tests. Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days in total) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs during the period starting 3 months prior to the first vaccine study intervention. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone equivalent ≥20 mg/day for adult participants. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed. Pregnant or lactating female.

Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days in total) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs during the period starting 3 months prior to the first vaccine dose. For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone ≥0.5 mg/kg/day or 20 mg/day whichever is the maximum dose for paediatric participants. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed. Child in care.
