This trial will be a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind (within dosing group), dose escalation Phase 1 trial evaluating dosages of 1 mcg and 5 mcg of HydroVax-002 YFV vaccine given intramuscularly on Day 1 (the day of first vaccination is defined as Day 1) and Day 29 in healthy adults ≥ 18 and < 50 years of age. The study will consist of two dosing groups of HydroVax-002 YFV vaccine to be enrolled sequentially. Each dose group will consist of 10 individuals who receive HydroVax-002 YFV, as well as 5 total subjects who receive placebo. Each dose-group will include a sentinel subgroup consisting of 3 vaccine and 1 placebo recipient. In each of the two (1 mcg and 5 mcg) dose phases, enrollment is halted after the dose 1 vaccination of the sentinel subgroup. Following assessment of safety and reactogenicity data of Group 1 by the Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC), the vaccine dose will be increased to 5 mcg for Group 2.
This trial will be a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind (within dosing group), dose escalation Phase 1 trial, evaluating dosages of 1 mcg and 5 mcg of HydroVax-002 YFV vaccine given intramuscularly on Day 1 and Day 29 in up to 25 healthy adults healthy adults ≥ 18 and < 50 years of age. The primary objective is to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and tolerability of the HydroVax-002 YFV vaccine administered intramuscularly in a two-dose series on Days 1 and 29 at a dose of 1 mcg or a dose of 5 mcg.
