Andes Virus DNA Vaccine for the Prevention of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome Using the PharmaJet Stratis(R) Needle-Free Injection Delivery Device

A Phase I, Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Double-Blind, Dose Escalation Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of an Andes Virus DNA Vaccine for the Prevention of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome Using the PharmaJet Stratis(R) Needle-Free Injection System in Normal Healthy Adults

• Status: Completed
• Phase: Phase 1
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 48 (actual)
• Sponsor: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) · NIH
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years – 49 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

This is a Phase 1, randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind, dose escalation trial of 48 males and non-pregnant females, 18-49 years old, inclusive, who are in good health and meet all eligibility criteria. This trial is designed to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of an Andes Virus (ANDV) DNA vaccine for the prevention of Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS). ANDV DNA vaccine or placebo will be administered using the PharmaJet Stratis(R) Needle-Free Injection System. The study duration is 23 months while the subject participation duration is 12 months. Subjects assigned to the 3 dose regimen will receive ANDV DNA vaccine on Days 1, 29 and 169, and placebo on Day 57. Subjects assigned to the 4 dose regimen will receive ANDV DNA on Days 1, 29, 57 and 169. Two doses (2 or 4 mg) of ANDV DNA vaccine will be evaluated. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and reactogenicity of the ANDV DNA vaccine by dosage cohort and treatment arm when administered using the PharmaJet Stratis(R) Needle-Free Injection system in normal, healthy adults.

Conditions

• Hantavirus Pulmonary Infection
• Immunisation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BIOLOGICAL	Andes virus DNA vaccine	A vaccine targeting the hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) causative agent Andes Virus (ANDV), with potential pan-hantavirus effect. The plasmid backbone, pWRG7077, is modified to produce the active ingredient of the vaccine, plasmid pWRG/AND-M (opt2), and includes the ANDV M gene responsible for encoding viral GnGc envelope glycoproteins. ANDV DNA vaccine will be administered intramuscularly at 2 mg or 4 mg doses using the PharmaJet Stratis Needle-Free Injection System.
OTHER	Placebo	Normal saline injections will be administered intramuscularly as matching placebo using the PharmaJet Stratis Needle-Free Injection System
