The purpose of this study is to assess the safety (primary objective) and immunogenicity (secondary objective) and fecal shedding of vaccine viruses (secondary objective) of two novel oral polio vaccines, nOPV1 and nOPV3, as compared to Sabin monovalent vaccine controls, in 150-230 healthy adults.
This multicenter trial is the first-in-human assessment of two novel oral polio vaccines for poliovirus type 1 and type 3. It will be an 8-arm, randomized, observer-blind, controlled trial, with Sabin monovalent vaccines serving as the control for each type. One hundred and fifty to 230 healthy, adult participants will be recruited, 70-80 participants with an exclusive inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) prior vaccination history and 120-150 participants with an oral poliomyelitis vaccine (OPV)-containing prior vaccination history.

Biological Novel Oral Polio Vaccine Type 1 (nOPV1)

Each 0.1 mL (2 drops) dose of vaccine contains approximately 10^6.5 CCID50.

Biological Novel Oral Polio Vaccine Type 3 (nOPV3)

Each 0.1 mL (2 drops) dose of vaccine contains approximately 10^6.5 CCID50.

Biological Sabin Monovalent Oral Polio Vaccine Type 1 (mOPV1)

The Sabin mOPV1 control vaccine contains ≥ 10^6.0 CCID50 per 0.1 mL (2 drops) dose.

Biological Sabin Monovalent Oral Polio Vaccine Type 3 (mOPV3)

the Sabin mOPV3 control vaccine contains ≥ 10^5.8 CCID50 per 0.1 mL (2 drops) dose.

††Per the site clinical laboratory's reference ranges. All tests with out of range results that are regarded as clinically significant by the clinician must be repeated and determined to be not clinically significant before any participant can be enrolled.

The following hematological or chemistry laboratory results will be considered exclusionary, irrespective of assessment of clinical significance:

Hemoglobin (Male) < 12.5 g/dL Hemoglobin (Female) < 11.0 g/dL Neutrophil count < 1,000 cells/mm3 Eosinophil count > 650 cells/mm3 Platelet count < 125,000 cells/mm3 Creatinine > 1.4 mg/dL ALT > 1.1 X Upper limit of normal (ULN) ††
