NCT02476773

Brief Summary

Na-GST-1 and Na-APR-1 are proteins expressed during the adult stage of the Necator americanus hookworm life cycle that are thought to play a role in the parasite's degradation of host hemoglobin for use as an energy source. Vaccination wtih recombinant GST-1 or APR-1 has protected dogs and hamsters from infection in challenge studies. This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of co-administering Na-GST-1 and Na-APR-1 to healthy Brazilian adults living in an area of endemic hookworm infection.

    Day 380

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • The IgG level by an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) on approximately Day 126.

    Day 126

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Inability to correctly answer all questions on the informed consent comprehension questionnaire.
  • Has a diagnosis of schizophrenia, bipolar disease or other major psychiatric condition that would make compliance with study visits/procedures difficult (e.g., subject with psychoses or history of suicide attempt or gesture in the 3 years before study entry, ongoing risk for suicide).
  • Known or suspected immunodeficiency.
  • Laboratory evidence of liver disease (alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\] greater than 1.25-times the upper reference limit).
  • Laboratory evidence of renal disease (serum creatinine greater than 1.25-times the upper reference limit, or more than trace protein or blood on urine dipstick testing with the exception of greater than trace blood detected in females during menses).
  • Laboratory evidence of hematologic disease (absolute leukocyte count \<3200/mm3; absolute leukocyte count \>10.8 x 103/mm3; hemoglobin \<11.4 g/dl \[females\] or \<12.1 g/dl \[males\]; or, platelet count \<130,000/mm3).
  • Serum glucose (random) greater than 1.2-times the upper reference limit.
  • Other condition that in the opinion of the investigator would jeopardize the safety or rights of a volunteer participating in the trial or would render the subject unable to comply with the protocol.
