Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of participants with reactions and adverse events

    occurence of diarrhea, dysentery and fever.

    Reactions are evaluated for 7 days after each dose. Adverse events are evaluated for the entire study participation (6 months for cohort 1 and 8 months for all other cohorts).

  • Number of participants who receive the vaccine who get immunity to shigella

    It is hoped that the vaccine will trigger the body's immune system to make specific responses such as antibodies (special proteins) and antibody-producing cells that are believed to protect against illness if a person is exposed to certain illness-causing Shigella in the future.

    Immunity in the blood will be assessed using serial samples collected during the 84 days after the first vaccination. Immunity at the intestinal level will be assessed by collecting seral stool samples for 14 days after each vaccination.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of participants who pass the vaccine in their stool

    The first 84 days after vaccination

  • The number of participants who develop various types of immune responses

    The first 84 days of the study

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 45 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18 to 45 years, inclusive.
  • Good general health
  • Expressed interest and availability to fulfill study requirements
  • Informed, written consent.
  • Agrees to indefinite storage of unused clinical specimens at the CVD for use in future research
  • Agrees not to participate in another investigational vaccine or drug trial during the study
  • Has no childbearing potential or agrees to abstain from becoming pregnant from the day of screening (at least 14 days before vaccination) until 6 weeks after the final vaccination by using birth control
  • Agrees not to donate blood to a blood bank for 12 months after receiving the vaccine.

You may not qualify if:

  • An acute or chronic medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would render vaccination unsafe or would interfere with the evaluation of responses.
  • Any current illness requiring daily medication (vitamins, birth control pills, nasal or topical medications, allowed);
  • Blood in stool on \>2 occasions (other than small amounts from straining) in past 12 months;
  • Recurrent diarrhea (\>5 episodes in past 6 months, each lasting 3 days or more).
  • Immunosuppression
  • Long term (greater than 2 weeks) use of oral or injected steroids, or high-dose inhaled steroids (\>800 micrograms/day of beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent) within the preceding 6 months (Nasal and topical steroids are allowed).
  • History of abdominal surgery
  • Medical, occupational, or family problems as a result of alcohol or illicit drug use during the past 12 months.
  • Known allergy or intolerance to ciprofloxacin, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (or other sulfa antibiotic), ampicillin (for women) or corn.
  • History of shigellosis or Shigella vaccination or challenge or a laboratory worker with known exposure to Shigella.
  • Anticipates any of the following during the first 84 days (12 weeks) of the study (28 days, or 4 weeks for Cohort 1):
  • Shares a household with a child \<3 years of age, a pregnant woman or a woman who plans to become pregnant during this time;
  • Household or sexual contact with someone who has weakened immunity (such as someone with HIV infection, someone receiving treatment for cancer, or an elderly person \> 70 yrs);
  • Occupation as a food-handler, childcare (for children \<3 years), or health care worker with direct patient contact.
  • A clinically significant abnormality on physical examination
  • +11 more criteria
