Brief Summary

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

Study SP-1219-007 is a multi-centre, randomised, study designed to access the safety and tolerability of two doses of monovalent Influenza A (H7N9) vaccine delivered intradermally by a microarray patch delivery system in healthy adults aged 18 to 50 years.

Detailed Description

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

258 participants will be randomized to receive two doses (Day 1 and 22) of either VXS-1219, VXS-1219 with QS21 adjuvant (VXS-1219A), an intramuscular comparator (H7N9 vaccine or H7N9 + MF59® vaccine) or an uncoated, vaccine-free HD-MAP Delivery system (VXS-1219U). VXS-1219A is identical to VXS-1219 with the only difference being this investigational product will be formulated with QS21. VXS-1219U, the vaccine-free microarray patch delivery system comparator, includes a terminally sterilized polymer patch and does not include any vaccine coating formulation on the micro-projections, but is otherwise identical to VXS-1219 and VXS-1219A.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of two doses of H7N9 Influenza A vaccine (12 to 25 mcg HA) with and without QS21 adjuvant (3.3 to 8 mcg), administered by the microarray patch delivery system, compared to IM H7N9 vaccine (7.5 mcg HA) with and without MF59® and uncoated, vaccine-free microarray patch delivery system, administered 21 days apart.

The secondary objectives of the study are to evaluate the immune response to two doses H7N9 Influenza A vaccine (12 to 25 mcg HA) with and without QS21 adjuvant (3.3 to 8 mcg), administered by the microarray patch delivery system, compared to IM H7N9 vaccine (7.5 mcg HA) with and without MF59® and uncoated, vaccine-free microarray patch delivery system, administered 21 days apart.

The use of medically effective contraception or IUD must be stable for at least three months prior to Screening. Surgical sterilisation, e.g., tubal ligation, hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy in women, or vasectomy in men, is required at least six months prior to Screening. Post menopausal participants can be included, and are defined as those with at least 12 months since their last menstrual period;

* Participant is able to communicate effectively with study personnel and is considered likely to be reliable, willing and cooperative in terms of compliance with the protocol requirements;
* Participant is able and willing to provide written, personally signed, informed consent to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria

* Participants who have received any registered vaccine within 30 days prior to Day 1;
* Planned administration of any registered vaccine prior to the immunogenicity blood draw on Day 43;
* Previous administration of any H7 vaccine, previous physician-confirmed H7 disease, previous known or potential exposure to avian influenza virus H7N9 HA antigen or any other avian influenza including H5N1, at any time in the past;
* Participant with known chronic spontaneous urticaria or dermographism;
* Known predisposition to keloid-scar formation (participants who have developed a scar caused by BCG vaccine can be included in the study);

* A history of alcohol or drug abuse in the past 12 months, or current declared alcohol consumption \>4 standard drinks per day for 7 days per week (one standard drink is equivalent to 285 mL of full-strength beer, 100 mL of wine or 30 mL of spirits);
* Use of any prescription medication (with the exception of contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, or stable doses of medication required for the management of stable, chronic underlying illnesses) within seven days prior to Day 1;
* Use of any investigational drug or device within 30 days, or five half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer) before Day 1, or planned use of another investigational drug or device at any time during the study;
* An employee, or a first-degree family member of an employee, of the Sponsor, Contract Research Organization conducting this study, or study site involved in this study
