Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Healthy adult males or females, 18-64 years of age (inclusive) at the planned start of the study (first vaccination on Day 0)
  • Signed Informed Consent
  • Women who are not post-menopausal or surgically sterile must have a negative serum/urine pregnancy test at screening and within 24 hours of each vaccination with understanding (through Informed Consent process) to not become pregnant and to employ an effective form of birth control for the duration of the study. Acceptable forms of birth control are: abstinence, hormonal contraceptives (oral, injectable, implant, patch, ring), double-barrier contraceptives (condom or diaphragm, with spermicide), and IUD.

Exclusion criteria

  • Laboratory abnormalities [as determined by the Toxicity Grading Scale (grade 1 4)] at laboratory screening
  • Abnormalities at physical examination [as determined by the Toxicity Grading Scale (grade 1-4)]
  • Known allergies to any component of the vaccine
  • Known allergies to adhesives
  • Participated in research involving investigational product within 30 days before planned date of first vaccination or within 90 days after first vaccination
  • Donated blood or blood products such as plasma within 30 days prior to planned date of first vaccination or within 90 days after first vaccination
  • Ever received investigational enterotoxigenic E. coli, LT, or LT (R192G) or NasalFlu, Berna Biotech, Ltd
  • Ever received cholera toxin or vaccine (e.g. Orochol™, Dukoral™)
  • History of diarrhea while traveling in a developing country within the last year
  • History of abdominal surgery (excluding C-section, hysterectomy, cosmetic surgery, liposuction, appendectomy, cholecystectomy, ventral hernia repair, and other surgeries not pertaining to gastrointestinal problems) or history of, or recent acute gastrointestinal illness
  • Positive serology for HIV-1, HIV-2, HBsAg, or HCV
  • Medical history of acute or chronic skin disease at vaccination area(s)
  • Active skin allergy
  • Signs of acute skin infection, sunburn or skin abnormalities at the vaccination area(s) including fungal infections, severe acne, or active contact dermatitis, or a history of keloid formation
  • Excessively hirsute and unwilling to clip hair at the vaccination area(s)
  • Visible tattoos or marks (tattoos/scars) at the vaccination area(s) that would prevent appropriate dermatologic monitoring of the vaccination site(s)
  • Fever greater than or equal to 38.0°C (100.4°F) at the time of planned vaccination
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Acute illness at screening and unresolved at time of planned vaccination
  • Employee of the investigational site

Primary outcomes

  1. Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) After First and Second Vaccination With LT Vaccine Patch and Comparison Against Placebo

    Time frame: Day 0, Day 14, Day 21, Day 28, Day 35, Day 90, Day 194

  2. Geometric Mean Fold Ratio (GMFR) After First and Second Vaccination With LT Vaccine Patch and Comparison Against Placebo

    Time frame: Day 14, Day 21, Day 28, Day 35, Day 90, Day 194

    GMFRs relative to the baseline titer were determined at each post-baseline time point. All GMFRs were based on log10-transformed data.

  3. Seroconversion (SCR) After First and Second Vaccination With LT Vaccine Patch and Comparison Against Placebo

    Time frame: Day 14, Day 21, Day 28, Day 35, Day 90, Day 194

    Definition of SCR:

    • Seroconversion IgG: ≥ 2-fold rise of LT IgG titer relative to baseline
    • Seroconversion IgA: ≥ 4-fold rise of LT IgA titer relative to baseline

Secondary outcomes

  1. Evaluation of Safety of LT Vaccine Patch After First and Second Vaccination Compared to Placebo Patch

    Time frame: 13 months

    LT subjects (Group 1) were followed for six months longer (until Day 380) than Placebo subjects (Group 2) (until Day 194)

  2. Evaluation of Residual LT in the Patch and on the Skin at the Patch Site Post-wear

    Time frame: 1 month

  3. Evaluation of LT-specific Immune Responses One-year After Original Treatment Regimen in LT Patch Group

    Time frame: 13 months

    GMT

  4. Evaluation of LT-specific Immune Responses One Year After Original Treatment Regimen in LT Patch Group

    Time frame: 13 months

    GMFR

  5. Evaluation of LT-specific Immune Responses One Year After Original Treatment Regimen in LT Patch Group

    Time frame: 13 months
