Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Poliomyelitis

New treatment option for Poliomyelitis

Official title Study of Trivalent and Bivalent (Types 1 & 2) Novel Oral Poliomyelitis Vaccines

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06137664

What this study is testing

What is Novel oral poliomyelitis vaccine type 1 (nOPV1)?

Novel oral poliomyelitis vaccine type 1 (nOPV1) is an investigational medicine, given as a pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for poliomyelitis.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The main objectives of this study are to : evaluate the safety and tolerability of trivalent novel oral poliovirus vaccines (tnOPV) in healthy adults, young children, and neonates, relative to those receiving control vaccines; evaluate the safety and tolerability of combined novel oral poliovirus vaccine type 1 (nOPV1) + novel oral poliovirus vaccine type 2 (nOPV2) in neonates, relative to those receiving the bivalent (types 1 and 3) oral poliovirus vaccine (bOPV) control. compare type-specific cumulative seroconversion rates of poliovirus neutralizing antibody (NAb) titers, among all tnOPV dose combinations, following 4 vaccinations in healthy neonates; evaluate the type-specific cumulative seroconversion rate of poliovirus NAb titers among healthy neonates following 4 doses of combined nOPV1+nOPV2.
