Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the safety and immunogenicity of an oral vaccine tablet to prevent seasonal influenza. The study was a placebo controlled, double blinded trial at a single site. The study was conducted under two separate protocols. Initially single administrations at two dose levels (low dose and mid dose) of the oral vaccine was tested in a placebo controlled study (37 subjects). And subsequently a single high dose of the oral vaccine was tested in a separate placebo-controlled study (24 subjects).

Detailed Description

Low and mid dose study was conducted under protocol number VXA02-001

High dose study was conducted under protocol number VXA02-003

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Low Dose VXA-A1.1 Oral Vaccine

Two doses of replication incompetent adenovirus vaccine given in an oral tablet formulation.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

VXA-A1.1 Oral Vaccine

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

One or two doses of replication incompetent adenovirus oral tablet vaccine

VXA Placebo Tablet

Oral tablets of the same size and number as the vaccine tablet doses. Placebo arms were included during enrollment of each of the experimental dose groups to maintain the double-blind study design.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

VXA-A1.1 Oral Vaccine

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

One or two doses of replication incompetent adenovirus oral tablet vaccine

High Dose VXA-A1.1 Oral Vaccine
