Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether a new vaccine for typhoid fever is safe and effective. This study will also look at what effects (good and bad) this new vaccine, Ty800, has on the volunteers. The study will determine the highest dose of Ty800 that can be given without causing severe side effects. About 54 healthy males and females, ages 18-45 inclusive, in the Cincinnati metropolitan area will be enrolled in this study. They will be in the study for approximately 7 months, which includes a one month screening period, study product administration on Day 0, a 10-day hospital stay, an outpatient period on Days 9-28 with 4 follow-up visits, and safety follow-up phone calls at 2 and 6 months after hospital discharge. Researchers hope that this trial will help produce a vaccine that combines a high level of durable protective immunity with simplicity of administration and minimal reaction to the vaccine.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Assess the safety of Ty800 oral typhoid vaccine when administered as a single dose over a range of doses (5 x 10^7, 5 x 10^8, 5 x 10^9 cfu) in healthy adult subjects compared to placebo.

  Duration of study.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• To evaluate the shedding profile of Ty800 by determining the quantity and duration of shedding for each dose level. Spread of the vaccine organism to placebo subjects will also be monitored as an outcome variable.

  Days 1-8, 11, 14, and 28.

• To evaluate the immunogenicity of the single oral dose administration of Ty800 over a range of doses in healthy adult subjects.

  At intervals after vaccination between Days 7 through 28.

• To evaluate the Ty800 vaccine dose response by comparing the immunogenicity profiles of each dose level.

  At intervals after vaccination between Days 7 through 28.

Interventions

Ty800 BIOLOGICAL

Live attenuated Ty800 S typhi oral vaccine is co-administered with a sodium bicarbonate buffer solution. Dosages: 5 X 10\^7 cfu, 5 X 10\^8 cfu, and 5 X 10\^9 cfu.

Cohort 1: Arm 1; Cohort 2: Arm 1; Cohort 3: Arm 1

Placebo DRUG

150 mL of the prepared sodium bicarbonate buffer solution. Placebo will look and taste essentially like the study product.

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 45 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: Yes
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Healthy men or women, aged 18 to 45 years, inclusive.
• Provide voluntary written informed consent prior to undergoing any study specific screening procedures.
• Must be willing to remain in the inpatient study unit for at least 10 days.
• Subjects must be of nonchildbearing potential, or if of childbearing potential (as determined by the investigator) must be using an effective licensed method of birth control (e.g., oral contraceptives; diaphragm or condom in combination with contraceptive jelly, cream, or foam; intrauterine contraceptive device; or Depo-Provera®; skin patch; vaginal ring or cervical cap or abstinence) for 30 days prior to vaccination and must agree to continue such precautions during the study and for 30 days after the final study visit. A highly effective method of birth control is defined as one that results in a low failure rate (i.e., less than 1 percent per year) when used consistently and correctly, such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence, or a vasectomized partner. ICH Guidance for Industry M3 Nonclinical Safety Studies for the Conduct of Human Clinical Trials for Pharmaceuticals (April 1997). If the subject uses abstinence as a method of birth control a questionnaire will be used to assure abstinence.
• Have normal screening laboratories for SGPT (ALT), creatinine, sodium, potassium, total white blood count (WBC), hemoglobin, neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets, urine protein and hematuria.

You may not qualify if:

• Positive serum pregnancy test at screening or at admission (Day 1). Women who are pregnant or lactating and women of childbearing potential who do not agree to use acceptable birth control methods.
• Clinically significant history of cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease, gall bladder disease, endocrine disorder, liver disease, renal disease, gastrointestinal disease, sickle cell anemia, neurologic illness, psychiatric disorder requiring chronic medication or prior hospitalization.
• Presence of prosthetic cardiac valves or other intravascular or intra-articular prosthetic material.
• Presence of HIV antibody.
• Presence of hepatitis B surface antigen or hepatitis C antibody.
• HLA-B27 or IgA deficiency.
• Presence of Salmonella species and/or bacterial or parasitic pathogens in a screening stool examination.
• History of travel to a S typhi endemic area within the last 5 years, history of raising a child from a S typhi endemic area, vaccination against typhoid fever, infection with S typhi, or participation in a typhoid fever clinical trial using S typhi or an S typhi vector at any time. United States, Canada, Europe, New Zealand and Australia are not considered endemic areas.
• Clinically abnormal screening electrocardiogram (ECG) defined as pathologic Q waves and significant ST-T wave changes; criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy; and any nonsinus rhythm excluding isolated premature atrial contractions.
• Known allergy or sensitivity to 2 or more of the following antibiotics: ciprofloxacin, amoxicillin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, chloramphenicol, ceftriaxone, or quinolones (e.g., enoxacin, lomefloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin).
• Known allergy to any components of the Ty800 vaccine or buffer (sodium bicarbonate/ascorbic acid).
• Receipt of blood/blood products or immunoglobulins within 6 months prior to the screening visit. Donation of blood within 2 months.
• A change in the subject's normal stool pattern within 3 months prior to screening visit. A normal stool pattern is defined as at least once a week and less than 4 times a day.
• Regular (monthly or more often) use of laxatives including herbal laxatives.
• Any medical illness requiring new prescription medication or hospitalization during the 45-day screening period prior to admission to the inpatient facility or have a temperature greater than or equal to 38.0ºC during the inpatient period prior to administering the study vaccine.
