Dose Finding Study of Single Dose GHB11L1 in Healthy Adults

GHB

Brief Summary

The purpose of this phase IIa trial is to evaluate the immunogenicity of a single dose of GHB11L1 administered by liquid nasal spray for vaccination against influenza A (H1N1) virus. This study is also performed to assess safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (shedding) of a single dose of GHB11L1 administered by liquid nasal spray.

Intervention / Treatment

  • GHB11L1 (BIOLOGICAL)
    GHB11L1 administration by liquid nasal spray at doses of 6.0 log10, 6.5 log10 and 7.0 log10 TCID50/volunteer
  • Placebo (BIOLOGICAL)
    SPGN buffer

Condition or Disease

Location

GHB11L1 intends to provide a novel vaccination for influenza virus infection. 48 healthy volunteers will be included in this phase IIa study investigating three dose levels. 16 subjects will be randomised at a ratio of 3:1 for GHB11L1 or placebo.

Healthy male volunteers, 18-50 years of age and seronegative with respect to the applied virus antigens (antibody titers \<1:10 detected) will be randomised.

GHB11L1 will be administered once on day 1. Follow-up visits will be performed on days 2, 8 and 29.

Primary Outcomes
  • Local and systemic immune response From baseline to day 29 (end of study)
Secondary Outcomes
  • Clinical signs and symptoms, laboratory tests Pharmacokinetics: qualitative assessment of viral recovery (shedding) in nasal mucosal samples. From written informed consent to 30 days after end of study
