Vaccine for Zika

Chicago, Illinois
This phase 1 clinical trial consists of an initial open-label sentinel run-in (n=25) and a randomized, double-blind, dose-finding (n=125) investigating three antigen dose levels (low, medium and high) of VLA1601 and bedside mixing of the low-dose formulation with one of the two additional adjuvants (CpG1018®, 3M-052-AF/AP 60-702). VLA1601 will be administered according to a two-dose regimen (i.e., on Day 1 and Day 29). The primary objective of this trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of the vaccine candidate up to 7 days after each vaccination; and to assess the immune response induced by the vaccine candidate 28 days after the second vaccination. Additionally, safety and immune response of the vaccine candidate will be monitored throughout the trial.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is an illness people can get from mosquitoes. The infection is generally mild with symptoms that include a fever, rash, red eyes, and joint pain, though most of those infected have no symptoms. Preventing ZIKV is important because if a pregnant person is infected with ZIKV, it can cause birth defects in their unborn child. The goals of this study are to find out if people who have already been infected with one type of ZIKV can get infected with ZIKV a second time, and to test the ability of the TV003 dengue vaccine to prevent people from getting infected with the ZIKV-SJRP challenge virus.

This is a cluster randomized controlled trial (CRCT) to evaluate the efficacy of Wolbachia-infected A. aegypti mosquito releases in reducing the burden of ARBV infection in Brazil over four years. The intervention will be the release of Wolbachia-infected A. aegypti mosquitoes. Standard control measures routinely established by the Belo Horizonte City Hall as recommended by the PNCD, will continue to be performed by the Belo Horizonte Health Department (Zoonoses Management) in all clusters, that is, the standard control measures will be carried out throughout the city of Belo Horizonte, independent of this clinical study. Wolbachia-infected A. aegypti will be deployed by releasing adult mosquitoes in pre-determined, thoroughly spaced release points in easily accessible roads described in a release map. A release map will be generated for each cluster and the numbers of release points will be determined by population density, surface area and mosquito abundance. Wolbachia-infected A. aegypti mosquitoes will be deployed across intervention clusters in two stages: 1) a 4 month establishment stage in which most of the releases will occur and 2) followed by an 8 month consolidation stage in which the abundance of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes will be measured and remedial deployments will be completed, if needed, with the aim of achieving a high prevalence of Wolbachia amongst A. aegypti mosquitoes in intervention clusters within 12 months from the start of the release. The goal is to reach a Wolbachia prevalence of 60% or higher. Monitoring of Wolbachia prevalence in the cluster will continue throughout the study period, but no further mosquito deployments will occur after the consolidation stage is complete. The primary objective is to evaluate whether release of Wolbachia-infected Aedes aegypti mosquitoes plus standard Aedes vector control measures reduces the sero-incidence of ARBV infection compared to standard Aedes vector control measures alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Zika Virus clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Zika Virus clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Zika Virus trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Zika Virus is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Zika Virus medical study ?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Zika Virus clinical trials ?

Most recently, we added TetraVax-DV-TV003 for Zika Virus, Vaccine for Zika and Wolbachia Mosquito Release for Dengue Fever to the Power online platform.
