A Phase 2a Double-Blind, Dose-optimizing Study to Evaluate the Immunogenicity of Hantaan/Puumala Virus DNA Vaccine Administered to Healthy Adult Volunteers by Electroporation for Prevention of Hemorrhagic Fever With Renal Syndrome
The purpose of this study is to compare the immune responses of two different doses (1.0 mg and 2.0 mg) and two different dosing schedules (two doses or three doses) of a mixed Hantaan virus (HTNV) and Puumala virus (PUUV) DNA vaccine in healthy participants. To maintain a blind, participants in the two-dose group will receive one dose of normal saline placebo. All of the groups will also receive a booster dose 6 months after first vaccination. The results will help to determine which dose and vaccination schedule will be best to move forward in the vaccine development process.
Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of Hantaan and Puumala Virus DNA Vaccines, pWRG/HTN-M(x) and pWRG/PUU-M(s2), for Prevention of Hemorrhagic Fever With Renal Syndrome Administered to Healthy Adult Volunteers Using the TDS-IM Electroporation Delivery Device
The purpose of this study is: • To assess safety and tolerability of the HTNV and PUUV DNA vaccines, pWRG/HTN-M(x) and pWRG/PUUV-M(s2), administered intramuscularly using a TDS-IM electroporation device Secondary: • To evaluate clinical immunogenicity of the HTNV and PUUV DNA vaccines, pWRG/HTN-M(x) and pWRG/PUUV-M(s2), including an assessment of the acute procedure tolerability when administered with the TDS-IM electroporation.
