Brief Summary

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

This study is a Phase 2 open-label, non-placebo controlled, multi-site clinical trial that will evaluate the standard SC regimen in adolescents ages 12 through 17 years, inclusive, and compared to the standard subcutaneous regimen in adults ages 18 to 50, inclusive. Approximately 135 healthy, vaccinia-naïve adults will be enrolled in a comparator arm (Arm 4) and will be given the standard, licensed regimen of 1x10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN administered SC on Day 1 and 29. These adults (Arm 4) will be combined with the 76 healthy, vaccinia-naïve adults that received the standard SC regimen in Stage 1 (Arm 3). Together, this will be the comparator group for non-inferiority testing for the primary endpoint. Approximately 315 healthy, vaccinia-naïve adolescents will be enrolled and given 1x10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN administered SC on Days 1 and 29 (Arm 5). The study will have a set target enrollment of at least 25% adolescents ages 12 to 14 years, inclusive, to ensure that adequate numbers of younger adolescents are enrolled.

The primary objectives are 1.) to determine if peak (Day 43) humoral immune responses in adolescents ages 12 to 17 years following administration of a 2-dose 1 x 10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN regimen administered SC are non-inferior to the response in adults ages 18 to 50 years who received the licensed 2-dose SC regimen of 1 x 10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN ; and 2.) to describe safety of a 2-dose 1 x 10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN regimen administered SC in adolescents ages 12 to 17 years.

Detailed Description

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

This study is a Phase 2 open-label, non-placebo controlled, multi-site clinical trial that will evaluate to inform public health decisions regarding the use of JYNNEOS for monkey pox prevention and mitigation of outbreaks. In stage 2 of the study, the standard subcutaneous (SC) regimen in adolescents ages 12 through 17 years, inclusive, and compared to the standard SC regimen in adults ages 18 to 50, inclusive. Approximately 135 healthy, vaccinia-naïve adults will be enrolled in a comparator arm (Arm 4) and will be given the standard, licensed regimen of 1x10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN administered SC on Day 1 and 29. These adults (Arm 4) will be combined with the 76 healthy, vaccinia-naïve adults that received the standard SC regimen in Stage 1 (Arm 3). Together, this will be the comparator group for non-inferiority testing for the primary endpoint. Approximately 315 healthy, vaccinia-naïve adolescents will be enrolled and given 1x10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN administered SC on Days 1 and 29 (Arm 5). The study will have a set target enrollment of at least 25% adolescents ages 12 to 14 years, inclusive, to ensure that adequate numbers of younger adolescents are enrolled.

The primary objectives are 1.) to determine if peak (Day 43) humoral immune responses in adolescents ages 12 to 17 years following administration of a 2-dose 1 x 10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN regimen administered SC are non-inferior to the response in adults ages 18 to 50 years who received the licensed 2-dose SC regimen of 1 x 108 TCID50 MVA-BN; and 2.) to describe safety of a 2-dose 1 x 10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN regimen administered SC in adolescents ages 12 to 17 years. The secondary objectives are 1) to evaluate humoral immune responses at baseline, prior to the second vaccination, and following receipt of the 2-dose SC regimen of 1 x 10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN in adolescents compared to adults on each study day; 2) to evaluate the kinetics of the humoral immune responses to the 2-dose SC regimen of 1 x 10\^8 TCID50 MVA-BN in adolescents and adults through Day 365 after the second dose is administered; 3.) to compare relative safety and reactogenicity between adolescent and adult study arms; and 4.) to evaluate seroconversion between adolescent and adult study arms.
