Study Arms (6)

Stage 1: Group A, Dolphin 240 µg

EXPERIMENTAL

240 µg Shigella flexneri 2a Invaplex 50 vaccine. The investigational vaccine was supplied as 1 mL of a sterile, clear liquid in a 3 mL glass vial. Each vial contained 3.5 mg of protein and 567 μg of lipopolysaccharides (LPS). 230 μL of the formulated vaccine (or placebo, sterile saline) was added to a nasal spray applicator (DolphinTM).

Biological: 240 µg Shigella flexneri 2a Invaplex 50 vaccine

Stage 1: Group B, Dolphin 480 µg

EXPERIMENTAL

480 µg Shigella flexneri 2a Invaplex 50 vaccine. The investigational vaccine was supplied as 1 mL of a sterile, clear liquid in a 3 mL glass vial. Each vial contained 3.5 mg of protein and 567 μg of LPS. 230 μL of the formulated vaccine (or placebo, sterile saline) was added to a nasal spray applicator (DolphinTM).

Biological: 480 µg Shigella flexneri 2a Invaplex 50 vaccine

Stage 1: Group C, Dolphin 690 µg

EXPERIMENTAL

690 Shigella flexneri 2a Invaplex 50 vaccine. The investigational vaccine was supplied as 1 mL of a sterile, clear liquid in a 3 mL glass vial. Each vial contained 3.5 mg of protein and 567 μg of LPS. 230 μL of the formulated vaccine (or placebo, sterile saline) was added to a nasal spray applicator (DolphinTM).

Biological: 690 Shigella flexneri 2a Invaplex 50 vaccine

Stage 1: Group D, Pipette 240 µg

OTHER

240 µg Shigella flexneri 2a Invaplex 50 vaccine. The investigational vaccine was supplied as 1 mL of a sterile, clear liquid in a 3 mL glass vial. Each vial contained 3.5 mg of protein and 567 μg of LPS. These subjects received 200 μL the vaccine via electronic pipette. This group is for lot bridging only, not included in dose-finding study.

Biological: 240 µg Shigella flexneri 2a Invaplex 50 vaccine

Stage 2: Immunized / Challenge

OTHER

The selected dose was to be administered with the Dolphin™ using the vaccination schedule from stage 1. Immunized and challenged with Shigella challenge strain approximately 42 days after receiving the last vaccination following a 90-minute fast.

Other: Shigella challenge strain

Stage 2: Controls

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

A control was to be administered with the DolphinTM using the vaccination schedule from Stage 1. Non-immunized and challenged with Shigella challenge strain approximately 42 days after receiving the last vaccination following a 90-minute fast.

Other: Shigella challenge strain

Interventions

Vaccines were administered intranasally on Days 0, 14, and 28. The investigational vaccine was supplied as 1 mL of a sterile, clear liquid in a 3 ml glass vial. Each vial contained 3.5 mg of protein and 567 μg of LPS. The pH was 8.9 and the buffer was 250 mM NaCl in 20 mM Tris.
