Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Investigate the safety of AERAS-404 in HIV-uninfected, HIV-unexposed, BCG-primed infants.

    Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events (SAE) will be collected on subjects throughout their participation in the study. Solicited adverse events are captured 28 days post each vaccination. Evaluation of the safety profile of AERAS-404 will be performed using data from all subjects who received at least one dose and has 7 days of safety data, and will be summarized by cohort and treatment group. The number (percentage) of subjects with any adverse event (including solicited, unsolicited, and serious adverse events) will be summarized by Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) system organ class and Preferred Term. Additional summaries will present the number (percentage) of subjects with any adverse events by severity and by relationship to study vaccine; parameters evaluable by the Aeras 404 Pediatric Toxicity Table provided in the protocol, will be summarized by severity corresponding to Toxicity Grade, as appropriate.

    Subjects will be followed for up to 1 year and 4 months.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Investigate the safety of a 3-dose AERAS-404 regimen in HIV-uninfected, HIV-unexposed, BCG-primed infants

    Subjects will be followed for up to 1 year and 4 months.

Other Outcomes (4)

  • Assess the immunogenicity of a 3-dose AERAS-404 regimen in HIV-uninfected, HIV-unexposed, BCG-primed infants.

    Subjects will be followed for up to 1 year and 4 months.

  • Select an appropriate dose regimen for AERAS-404 in HIV-uninfected, HIV-unexposed, BCG-primed infants.

    After all subjects in Cohorts 4 and 5 have completed Study Day 126, the safety and immunogenicity data from these Cohorts will be evaluated. The data will inform the decision on the study vaccine dose for Cohort 6.

  • Explore interactions between AERAS-404 and EPI vaccines.

    Antibody concentration blood samples taken when subjects reach 12 months of age for all Cohorts and in addition, 28 post second study vaccine dose (Study Day 56) for subjects in Cohort 6 only.

Interventions

AERAS-404BIOLOGICAL

AERAS-404 has two components: the H4 antigen and the IC31 adjuvant. The reconstitution of the vaccine components, H4 antigen (manufactured at SP) and IC31 adjuvant (supplied by SSI), will take place at the clinical research site (CRS) prior to injection.
