Safety and Efficacy of GSK Neisseria Gonorrhoeae GMMA (NgG) Investigational Vaccine When Administered to Healthy Adults 18 to 50 Years of Age
brief summary
The aim of this first time in human proof of concept (FTiH-PoC) study was to evaluate safety and reactogenicity, to demonstrate efficacy and to explore immunogenicity of GlaxoSmithKline's (GSK) Neisseria gonorrhoeae generalized modules for membrane antigens (GMMA) (NgG) investigational vaccine compared to placebo (saline).
detailed description
The study included the following parts:
* Phase 1 - Dose-escalation safety lead-in in healthy participants. * Phase 2 - Efficacy PoC in healthy participants considered at risk for gonorrhea.
The doses to be tested for efficacy would be selected based on the safety evaluation performed during the dose-escalation safety lead-in: in case more than one dose would show tolerability, the highest tolerated dose (HTD) and the dose below the highest tolerated (i.e., 2 doses) would be advanced in the efficacy PoC part of the study and compared versus placebo. In case only the lowest dose shows adequate tolerability, this would be the only dose tested in the PoC versus placebo.
