Study information
Scientific title
Acronym
MS01.08
Study hypothesis
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and immunogenicity of the oral vaccine M01ZH09 in healthy, paediatric, Asian subjects prior to initiating field trials in an endemic area.
Ethics approval
The trial has received full ethical approval from the OXTREC committee (ref: 021-06) and the local Institutional Review Board (The Hospital for Tropical Diseases, Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam). The approval dates are 25th July 2006, for conditional approval, and final unconditional approval was received on the 18th October 2006.

Patient information sheet
Condition
Typhoid fever prophylaxis
Intervention
Subjects deemed eligible after screening will be randomised to receive an oral dose of either active vaccine or matching placebo.
Safety will be monitored by:
1. Diary recordings of body temperature
2. Assessment of Adverse Events (AEs)
3. Vital signs
4. Stool samples for microbiological analyses
5. Urine dipstick tests
6. Immunogenicity will be assessed in all subjects using an Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA) method for serum Immunoglobulin G (IgG) and serum Immunoglobulin A (IgA) in all subjects. Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent SPOT (ELISPOT) tests will be conducted on samples from subjects aged 11 to 14 years of age.

Drug names
M01ZH09 typhoid vaccine (oral live S. typhi [Ty2 aroC- ssaV-] ZH9)
Primary outcome measure
The proportion of subjects reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) attributed to the study medication.
Secondary outcome measures
Safety - the proportion of subjects:
1. Experiencing an elevated body temperature, of 38.5°C or greater, in the 14 days following dosing, attributed to study medication
2. Demonstrating persistent faecal shedding of the vaccine strain
3. Withdrawn from the study due to adverse events, including bacteraemia, attributed to study medication
4. With clinically significant changes in laboratory parameters, from day zero to any time post dosing, which are attributed to study medication
Immunogenicity:
1. Develop a positive immune response to S. typhi LipoPolySaccharide (LPS) as assessed by an increase in S. typhi LPS specific IgG
2. Develop a positive immune response to S. typhi LPS as assessed by an increase S.typhi LPS specific IgA
3. At day seven, have more than or equal to 4 Antibody-Secreting Cells (ASCs) per 10^6 Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC), secreting IgA specific for S. typhi LPS detected by ELISPOT assay (subjects over ten years of age)

6. Received Vivotif, in the last ten years or any other vaccine against S. typhi, in the last five years, or who have ever suffered from typhoid fever
7. Direct contact with patients in special care units or immuno-compromised individuals, a positive bacterial culture of their faecal sample, obtained at the screening visit, for any Salmonella species, a known impairment of immune function or family members who are Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) positive
