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 evaluate the experimental tuberculosis (TB) vaccine called ID93+GLA-SE. The safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of ID93+GLA-SE will be compared to placebo, after three intramuscular (IM) injections one month apart in healthy healthcare workers. The healthcare workers will all have had the childhood TB vaccine called BCG, and all of them must have a negative result for a blood test for exposure to the bacteria that cause TB (QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus, or "QFT"). Study participants will be followed for 12 months after the last injection for safety reasons. Blood will be drawn for laboratory tests for safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy tests. Efficacy will be evaluated by further QFT testing. The study hypothesis is that the vaccine is safe, immunogenic, and effective in this study population.

Detailed Description

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

After signing a written informed consent to participate in the study, subjects will be screened by required assessments per protocol. Eligible subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to Group 1, Group 2, or Control Group, receiving either ID93+GLA-SE or saline placebo on Days 0, 28, and 56. The investigator will evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the Investigational Product in the subjects throughout the study.

For safety assessment, subjects will be instructed to record any adverse events in the subject diary after each vaccination. Subject's safety will be reported to the investigators after 7 days from each vaccination (Days 7, 35, 63) via site visit or a phone call. Solicited AEs will be collected up to 7 days after the final vaccination with the Investigational Product and un-solicited AEs will be collected up to 28 days after the final vaccination with the Investigational Product. For long-term safety assessment of the Investigational Product, serious adverse events and adverse events of special interest will be monitored up to 12 months after the final vaccination with the Investigational Product.

For immunogenicity assessment, blood samples for immunology assays will be collected and analyzed before and after each vaccination. For efficacy assessment, QFT-Gold Plus testing will be performed after 3 months and 14months from the first vaccination with the Investigational Product.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants will be assigned to one of three groups: Low dose ID93+GLA-SE, High dose ID93+GLA-SE, or Control Group.
Primary Study Purpose

PREVENTION

Blinding Strategy

QUADRUPLE

Participants Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
Since the vials of ID93+GLA-SE and placebo control (normal saline) and their appearances after preparation are different, for double-blinding of the study, the study nurse who administers the study drug or the study pharmacist who stores and manages the study drug will be unblinded to maintain the quality of study blinding. Additionally, an unblinded study monitor will be responsible for confirming the quantity and release of the study drugs. Unblinded study personnels and unblinded study monitor should only be involved in the duties related to administration and/or recording of the study drug, and must not be involved in other duties that may break double-blinding of the study.

Study Groups

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

Low dose ID93+GLA-SE

Participants will receive 0.5 mL (2 μg ID93 + 5 μg GLA-SE) intramuscular injection (IM) into deltoid area, three times in 4-week intervals on Days 0, 28, and 56.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ID93+GLA-SE

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

ID93 is a recombinant protein antigen comprising 4 antigens from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The adjuvant GLA-SE is a TLR4 agonist in a stable oil-in-water emulsion.

High dose ID93+GLA-SE

Participants will receive 0.5 mL (10 μg ID93 + 5 μg GLA-SE) IM injection into deltoid area, three times in 4-week intervals on Days 0, 28, and 56.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ID93+GLA-SE

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

ID93 is a recombinant protein antigen comprising 4 antigens from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The adjuvant GLA-SE is a TLR4 agonist in a stable oil-in-water emulsion.

Control group

Participants will receive 0.5 mL Placebo (physiological saline) IM injection into deltoid area, three times on 4-week intervals on Days 0, 28, and 56.
