Safety and Efficacy of BARS13 in the Elderly
brief summary
Advaccine Clinical Research are developing a vaccine called BARS13 for the active immunisation of infants (aged 6 months to 5 years old) and the elderly (aged 60-80 years old) for the seasonal prevention of Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection. A total of 125 volunteers aged 60 - 80 years (inclusive) will be enrolled in this study, and will be divided into 3 groups (or 'cohorts') of 40 people (cohort 1 and 2) and 45 people (cohort 3). The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of BARS13 in this age group.
detailed description
Advaccine Clinical Research is developing a recombinant Respiratory Syncytial Virus (rRSV) vaccine - BARS13 for the protection of the elderly from RSV infection.
This is a two centre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy adults aged 60-80 years old to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the rRSV investigational vaccine, BARS13.
This study will be conducted in two centres in Australia with CMAX as the coordinating site.
A total of up to 125 eligible participants will be enrolled administered by IM injection to the deltoid region of the arm. Cohort 1 (low repeat dose) includes one dose of 10micrograms of the vaccine on one arm and one dose of placebo on the other arm given sequentially on Day 1 and 29. Cohort 2 (high repeat dose) includes one dose of 10micrograms of the vaccine on each arm given sequentially on Day 1 and 29. Cohort 3 (high repeat multiple dose) includes one dose of 10microgarms of vaccine to each arm sequentially on Day 1, 29 and 57.
