Descriptive Information

• Brief Title: Phase 1/2 Lyme Vaccine Study
• Official Title: Randomized, Double-Blind, Phase 1/2 Clinical Study to Investigate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Multivalent Recombinant OspA Lyme Borreliosis Vaccine (mv rOspA LB Vaccine) in Healthy Subjects Aged 18 to 70 Years

Brief Summary

Section 1:

The purpose of the study is to obtain safety and immunogenicity data of different dose levels of a multivalent recombinant OspA Lyme Borreliosis (mv rOspA LB) Vaccine with and without adjuvant in seronegative healthy adults aged 18 to 70 years. The outcome shall provide the basis for dose/formulation selection for Section 2 of the study.

Section 2:

An additional purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the optimal dose(s)/formulation of the mv rOspA LB Vaccine in a larger population of seronegative and seropositive healthy subjects aged 18 to 70 years.

• Detailed Description: Not Provided
• Study Type: Interventional
• Study Phase: Phase 1; Phase 2
• Study Design: Allocation: Randomized; Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment; Masking: Double (Participant, Investigator); Primary Purpose: Prevention
• Condition: Prophylaxis of Lyme Borreliosis

Intervention

• Biological: Multivalent recombinant OspA Lyme Borreliosis Vaccine
  Primary vaccination (6 study arms of 50 subjects each): 3 intramuscular injections containing either dose A, B or C in an adjuvanted or non-adjuvanted formulation (6 different formulations) given in monthly intervals (recruited in 3 sequential cohorts)
• Biological: Multivalent recombinant OspA Lyme Borreliosis Vaccine
  Booster vaccination 9-12 months after first vaccination in Section 1 subjects
• Biological: Multivalent recombinant OspA Lyme Borreliosis Vaccine
  3 intramuscular injections at monthly intervals (using 2 formulations selected from Section 1) in seronegative and seropositive subjects (N=350) and a booster vaccination at 6 months or at 9-12 months (Cohorts 4: seronegatives; Cohort 5: seropositives)

Study Arms

• Experimental: Primary vaccination in seronegative subjects
  Intervention: Biological: Multivalent recombinant OspA Lyme Borreliosis Vaccine
• Experimental: Booster vaccination in seronegative subjects
  Intervention: Biological: Multivalent recombinant OspA Lyme Borreliosis Vaccine
• Experimental: Primary + booster vacc. (seronegative + seropositive subjects)
  Intervention: Biological: Multivalent recombinant OspA Lyme Borreliosis Vaccine
