Trial design

Randomised, placebo comparator: chlorure de sodium 0,9 % b. braun, solution pour perfusion (sodium chloride). placebo volumes/doses by cohort: cohort 1 placebo 0.2 ml; cohort 2 placebo 0.5 ml; cohort 3 placebo 1.0 ml. in phase 2a group 4 placebo 1.0 ml. administered intramuscularly on day 1 and day 29.-controlled, adaptive Phase I/II trial across 1 site in France.

Randomised
Yes
Comparator
Placebo comparator: CHLORURE DE SODIUM 0,9 % B. BRAUN, solution pour perfusion (sodium chloride). Placebo volumes/doses by cohort: Cohort 1 placebo 0.2 mL; Cohort 2 placebo 0.5 mL; Cohort 3 placebo 1.0 mL. In Phase 2a Group 4 Placebo 1.0 mL. Administered intramuscularly on Day 1 and Day 29.
Adaptive
True - sequential dose-escalation in Phase 1 with staggered cohorts (three cohorts of 10 subjects each) under independent DSMB control; DSMB assesses reactogenicity and safety approximately 14 days after the second administration in each cohort before authorising progression to the next cohort; Phase 2a is parallel after Phase 1 DSMB decisions.
