A Study of a Bivalent Influenza Peptide Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Adults

This is a first in man study evaluating the tolerability and immunogenicity of BIPCV/IMX (V512) at increasing concentrations of influenza viral peptides A/M2+B/HA0 peptides and IMX, a saponin-based adjuvant.

Treatment and study plan

V512

Biological

Subjects received 1 of 8 formulations of the BIPCV/IMX vaccine (V512) in a 3-dose regimen of 0.5 mL injections at Day 1, Month 2, and Month 6:

0.5 mcg each of A/M2 and B/HA0 peptides with 225 mcg MAA and 20 mcg IMX; 2) 0.5 mcg each of A/M2 and B/HA0 peptides with 225 mcg MAA and 60 mcg IMX; 3) 5 mcg each of A/M2 and B/HA0 peptides with 225 mcg MAA and 20 mcg IMX; 4) 5 mcg each of A/M2 and B/HA0 peptides with 225 mcg MAA and 60 mcg IMX; 5) 5 mcg each of A/M2 and B/HA0 peptides with 225 mcg MAA and 100 mcg IMX; 6) 20 mcg each of A/M2 and B/HA0 peptides with 225 mcg MAA and 20 mcg IMX; 7) 20 mcg each of A/M2 and B/HA0 peptides with 225 mcg MAA and 60 mcg IMX; 8) 20 mcg each of A/M2 and B/HA0 peptides with 225 mcg MAA and 100 mcg IMX;

Comparator: Placebo to V512

Biological

Subjects received placebo to the BIPCV/IMX vaccine (V512) in a 3-dose regimen of 0.5 mL injections at Day 1, Month 2, and Month 6.

Primary outcomes

Safety: Safety and tolerability of BIPCV/IMX as assessed by vaccine-related SAEs; Immunogenicity: 1) A/M2 specific immunogenicity; 2) B/HA0 specific immunogenicity

Time frame: Safety: 7 months; Immunogenicity: 1) 7 months; 2) 7 months

Secondary outcomes

Persistence of A/M2 and B/HA0 immunogenicity

Time frame: Months 12, 18, and 24
