ID Biomedical Corp. has initiated expanded human safety and immunogenicity studies of the company's subunit intranasal influenza vaccine.
The first group of healthy adult volunteers has been enrolled in the study, which is being conducted at the University of Rochester, New York, under the direction of Dr. John Treanor, Associate Professor of Medicine and principal investigator. Target enrollment is 100 subjects.
This study will provide expanded safety data for the prototype monovalent intranasal flu vaccine. As a follow-up to positive results in a recently reported Phase I trial, this study will characterize the immune responses elicited by several vaccine regimens in persons who have had a variety of previous immunologic experience with influenza.
"The results from this clinical trial will help us determine the most attractive doses and dosing regime to investigate in subsequent clinical trials," said Dr. Louis Fries, ID Biomedical. "Our next clinical trial, scheduled for this fall, will study our trivalent flu vaccine in healthy adults prior to moving to Phase II testing. The information we're gathering now will help us optimize the design of that trial."
Results from a previous human trial, reported by Treanor on April 24, 2001 at the ...
