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 is to collect serum samples to evaluate serologic assays and to establish proficiency panels for serologic assays used for assessment of post vaccination immune response after intramuscular (IM) vaccination with Norovirus GI.1/GII.4 bivalent virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The vaccine being tested in this study is called Norovirus GI.1/GII.4 bivalent Virus-Like Particle Vaccine (NoV Vaccine). The purpose of this study is to collect serum samples to evaluate serologic assays and to establish proficiency panels for serologic assays used for assessment of post vaccination immune response after intramuscular (IM) vaccination with the NoV vaccine. The validation and proficiency testing of the immunogenicity assays is required to support the NoV Vaccine development program. This study also looked at side effects in people who were administered a single dose of the NoV vaccine.

The study enrolled 50 patients. All participants received one dose of the NoV vaccine via intramuscular injection.

Participants were asked to record any symptoms that may be related to the vaccine or the injection site in a diary card for 7 days after receiving the vaccination.

This single-centre trial was conducted in the United States. The overall time to participate in this study was 183 days. Participants made 4 visits to the clinic, and were contacted by telephone 183 days after last dose of study drug for a follow-up assessment.

5. Has known hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the NoV Vaccine components (including excipients).
6. Has behavioral or cognitive impairment or psychiatric disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the participant's ability to participate in the trial.
7. Has any history of progressive or severe neurologic disorder, seizure disorder or neuro-inflammatory disease (e.g. Guillain-Barré syndrome).
8. Has history or any illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with the results of the trial or pose additional risk to the participants due to participation in the trial.

3. Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the three months preceding the first administration of the investigational vaccine or planned administration during the trial (consider whether applicable as an exclusion criterion or criterion for delay).
4. Receipt of immunostimulants within 60 days prior to Day 1.
5. Receipt of parenteral, epidural or intra-articular immunoglobulin preparation, blood products, and/or plasma derivates within 3 months prior to Day 1 or planned during the full length of the trial.

12. Has any serious chronic or progressive disease according to judgment of the investigator (e.g. neoplasm, insulin dependent diabetes, cardiac, renal or hepatic disease).
13. Is participating in any clinical trial with another investigational product 30 days prior to first trial visit or intent to participate in another clinical trial at any time during the conduct of this trial.
14. Is involved in the trial conduct or their first degree relatives.
15. Has history of substance or alcohol abuse within the past 2 years.
