Title

Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of an Intranasal Influenza Vaccine Administered to Healthy Adults

The objectives of this study were to assess the safety and tolerability of DCB07010 when given intranasally at escalating dose levels of 7.5μg, 15μg, 30μg and 45μg, in combination with 22.5μg of influenza HA antigen (7.5μg HA of each of three strains) and to generate sufficient immunogenicity data to enable dose selection for larger and more definitive Phase 2 studies.

This was a single center, double-blind, randomized (2:1), dose-escalation study to assess the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of 4 different vaccine-adjuvant doses in comparison to influenza HA alone. The 4 treatment cohorts were given DCB07010 in a dose- escalating manner.

Biological DCB07010

A protein based adjuvant originated from prokaryotic organism.

Biological HA antigens

HA antigens from three strains of influenza virus ( 7.5 μg of HA each strain).

HA antigen only Active Comparator

All subjects in this group received 2 doses of 22.2 μg HA antigens

7.5 μg of DCB07010 Experimental

All subjects in this group received 7.5 μg of DCB07010 in 22.2 μg HA antigens twice.

15 μg of DCB07010 Experimental

All subjects in this group received 15 μg of DCB07010 in 22.2 μg HA antigens twice.

30 μg of DCB07010 Experimental

All subjects in this group received 30 μg of DCB07010 in 22.2 μg HA antigens twice.

45 μg of DCB07010 Experimental

All subjects in this group received 45 μg of DCB07010 in 22.2 μg HA antigens twice.
