About this trial

The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability (primary objective), immunogenicity (primary and secondary objectives), fecal shedding of vaccine viruses (secondary objective) and the potential for neurovirulence of shed virus (secondary objective) of a novel oral polio type 1 vaccine, nOPV1, as compared to Sabin monovalent type 1 vaccine controls (mOPV1), in healthy young children (192 subjects), infants (720 subjects), and neonates (1320 subjects).

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Healthy, as defined by the absence of any clinically significant medical condition or congenital anomaly as determined by medical history, physical examination, and clinical assessment of the investigator

Parent(s) or guardian(s) willing and able to provide written informed consent prior to performance of any study-specific procedure

Resides in study area and parent understands and is able and willing to adhere to all study visits and procedures (as evidenced by a signed informed consent form [ICF] and assessment by the investigator)

Parent agrees for participant to receive all routine infant and childhood immunizations as per the approved protocol-adjusted schedule

Disqualifiers

For all participants, the presence of anyone under 10 years of age in the participant's household (living in the same house or apartment unit) who does not have complete "age appropriate" vaccination status with respect to poliovirus vaccines at the time of study vaccine administration. For household members younger than 10 years of age, "age appropriate" vaccination is complete series of trivalent Oral Poliovirus Vaccine (tOPV) or at least three doses of bivalent (types 1 and 3) Oral Poliovirus Vaccine (bOPV) plus a booster fractional dose of IPV (fractional dose Inactivated Polio Vaccine; fIPV). Note: A vaccination series of tOPV or at least three doses of bOPV with our without a booster fractional dose of IPV will be considered sufficient.

For all participants, having a member of the participant's household (living in the same house or apartment unit) who has received OPV based on the vaccination records in the previous 3 months before study vaccine administration.

Any participating children attending day care or pre-school during their participation in the study until one month after their last study vaccine administration.

Moderate or severe (grade ≥ 2) acute illness at the time of enrollment/first study vaccination - temporary exclusion. Participant with mild (grade 1) acute illnesses may be enrolled at the discretion of the investigator.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Frequency of serious adverse events (SAEs) from the time of first study vaccination through the end of the study

Serious adverse event is any adverse event that results in any of the following outcomes: 1. Death 2. Is life-threatening (life-threatening means that the study participant was, in the opinion of the site PI or PATH, at risk of death at the time of the event; it does not refer to an event which hypothetically might have caused death if it were more severe). 3. Requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 4. Results in persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions 5. Important medical event that may not result in one of the above outcomes but may jeopardize the health of the study participant and require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in the above definition of serious adverse event

Time frame
From Day 1 to end of study, up to Day 197 (young children and neonates) or Day 225 (infants)
2

Frequency of solicited adverse events (AEs) for 7 days (day of vaccination and 6 following days) after each vaccination

Solicited AEs are pre-specific AEs that are common or known to be associated with vaccination that are actively monitored as potential indicators of vaccine reactogenicity. The following specific solicited AEs will be monitored for this trial: * Fever (axillary temperature ≥ 37.5°C) * Vomiting * Diarrhea * Irritability * Decreased feeding or appetite * Fatigue or decreased activity

Time frame
From vaccination to 7 days post vaccination
3

Frequency of unsolicited AEs for 28 days (day of vaccination and 27 following days) after each vaccination

Unsolicited AEs are any AEs reported spontaneously by the participant's parent, observed by the study personnel during study visits or identified during review of medical records or source documents. In the absence of a diagnosis, abnormal physical examination findings or abnormal clinical safety laboratory test results that are assessed by the investigator to be clinically significant will be reported as an AE.

Time frame
From vaccination to 28 days post vaccination
4

Post-vaccination frequency of seroconversion of type 1 anti-polio serum neutralizing antibody (NAb).

Following two doses of nOPV1, at dose levels of 10\^6.5 and 10\^7.0 CCID50/dose, compared to mOPV1, in healthy neonates. For unvaccinated neonates, seroconversion will be defined as either a minimum 4-fold higher antibody titer relative to the expected level of maternal antibody and seropositivity (reciprocal titer ≥ 8) at the post-vaccination time point among those initially seropositive, or post-vaccination seropositivity among those initially seronegative.

Time frame
28 days post second vaccination

Secondary outcomes

1

To assess the seroconversion rate elicited by nOPV1 at dose levels of 10\^5.5, 10\^6.0 and 10\^6.5 CCID50/dose following one or two doses in healthy young children compared to mOPV1. To assess the seroconversion rate elicited by nOPV1 at dose levels of 10\^5.5 and 10\^6.0 CCID50/dose following one or two doses in healthy infants compared to mOPV1.
