It appears that Leishmania infections can be eliminated or prevented by T helper 1 immune responses. These findings argue that a vaccine that generates a T helper 1 response against the parasite will prevent the infection and disease. This is a phase 2, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity in Montenegro skin test (MST)-negative healthy adults of an investigational vaccine being developed for the prophylaxis of cutaneous leishmaniasis. The vaccine, identified as Leish-111f + MPL-SE, consists of a recombinant three-antigen Leishmania polyprotein (Leish-111f, 10 μg) together with the adjuvant MPL-SE (25 μg). In addition, the safety and immunogenicity of the vaccine will be compared to that of the Leish-111f protein (10 μg) given alone. The vaccine, Leish-111f protein alone or placebo will be given to each study subject three times at 4 week intervals.
