Brief Summary:
As poliovirus eradication progresses rapidly strategies to discontinue oral poliovirus vaccination need to be established One strategy would be to use inactivated poliovirus vaccine IPV transitionally and this has already occurred in the United States It is not clear however if 3 doses of IPV provide sufficient immunogenicity when administered according to World Health Organization WHOExpanded Programme on Immunization EPI schedule in a tropical developing area where no wild-poliovirus circulates

Detailed Description:
The proposed study will be a prospective randomized clinical trial of the immunogenicity of IPV among two groups of infants using different immunization schedules WHOEPI and US
Study will begin with an enrollment period up to 10 months All infants born at San Lucas Hospital will be eligible unless otherwise excluded The study will continue until 10 months after the last infant is enrolled There will be four or five study visits depending on the cohort
Study Population
Infants will be identified at birth at San Lucas Hospital all babies born during the enrollment period at the selected hospital will be considered eligible Mothers will be approached in the hospital by the study -nurse after infants birth and be informed about the study Inclusion and exclusion criteria will be assessed at this time and if the mother agrees to the study informed consent will be obtained
Randomization will be based on what day the baby was born Even days will be assigned to the WHO schedule and odd days to the US schedule The mother will be told which cohort the infant is in and given an immunization card with dates that the infant is to return to receive vaccinations The card will also include study contact phone numbers
The study will be implemented through the Ponce School of Medicine at San Lucas Hospital in Ponce Puerto Rico This teaching hospital has a 24 bed well-baby nursery where approximately 150 babies are born per month
Interventions
To avoid confusion inconvenience and error and to limit differences among participants diphteria-tetanus-acellular pertussis DTaP Haemophilus influenzae type B Hib pneumococcal conjugate vaccine PCV and hepatitis B HepB if appropriate will be administered along with inactivated poliovirus vaccine IPV on first 3 visits in both cohorts Both schedules meet the parameters of Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices ACIP minimum interval at least 4 weeks between doses and minimum age of 6 weeks of age 2
Cohort A-WHOEPI Schedule
Initial Study Visit Visit 1 will be scheduled for 6 weeks 42 days and 46 days after birth Blood will be drawn sera 1 immediately prior to administration with first dose of IPV and other recommended vaccines Mother will be reminded of infants next appointment in 4 weeks
Study Visit 2 Visit 2 will be scheduled for 4 weeks after last vaccination 28 days and 32 days The 2nd dose of IPV and other recommended vaccines will be administered at this time Mother will be reminded of infants next appointment in 4 weeks
Study Visit 3 Visit 3 will be scheduled for 4 weeks after last vaccination 28 days and 32 days The 3rd dose of IPV and other recommended vaccines will be administered at this time Mother will be reminded of infants next appointment in 4 weeks
Study Visit 4 Visit 4 will be scheduled for 4 weeks after last vaccination A blood sample will be drawn from participant Study visit should take place no earlier than 28 days since previous vaccination nor later than the 45th day
Study Visit 5 According to ACIP recommendations the 3rd dose of Hepatitis B has to be administered after 6 months of age For this reason Visit 5 will be scheduled when the child is 24 weeks of age in order to receive the 3rd dose of Hepatitis B vaccine
Cohort B-US Schedule
Initial Study Visit Visit 1 will be scheduled for 8 weeks after birth 52 days and 60 days Blood will be drawn sera 1 immediately prior to administration of the first dose of IPV and other recommended vaccines Mother will be reminded of infants next appointment in 8 weeks
Study Visit 2 Visit 2 will be scheduled for 8 weeks after last vaccination 52 days and 60 days The 2nd dose of IPV and other recommended vaccines will be administered Mother will be reminded of infants next appointment in 8 weeks
Study Visit 3 Visit 3 will be scheduled for 8 weeks after last vaccination 52 days and 60 days The 3rd dose of IPV and other recommended vaccines will be administered at this time Mother will be reminded of infants next appointment in 4 weeks
Study Visit 4 Visit 4 will be scheduled for 4 weeks after last vaccination A blood sample will be drawn from participant Study visit should take place no earlier than 28 days since previous vaccination nor later than the 45th day
Specimens CollectionHandling
Blood will be drawn to obtain serum neutralizing antibody titers prior to the first dose of IPV and subsequent to the 3rd dose of IPV If 2 of children in either arm do not respond to any of the 3 types of poliovirus two additional blood specimens will be offered to test immunity before and after the 4th dose of IPV among non responders
A minimum of 500 µl will be collected at each bleed preferably via vein using a 23-25 gauge butterfly into a vacutainer tube heel stick is acceptable if infant is noted to have poor venous access Specimens will be labeled with a unique identifier and be kept cold 2-8 C not frozen until specimen is spun down and sera separated which should be done at end of each day specimens should not sit out for 12 hours
Sera will be aliquoted and batch-stored at -20 C A batched frozen shipment on dry ice will be made to CDC after Phase 1 all participant study visits are complete
Lab Evaluation and Methods
Sera will be tested for levels of neutralizing antibody titers against poliovirus types 1 2 and 3 at CDC by means of a modified microneutralization assay 13 Approximately 80 to 100 median tissue culture infective dose TCID50 of each vaccine virus serotype and serial dilutions of serum starting at 18 and ending at 11024 are incubated at 37 C for 25 hours before 75x103 Hep-2C cells are added to the wells After incubation for 5 days at 37 C each plate is stained with 005 crystal violet in 25 ethyl alcohol with the optical density in each well measured by a spectrophotometer Each specimen will be run in triplicate with the final titer estimated by the method of Spearman-Karber Seropositivity will be defined as a neutralization titer of greater than 18 It is estimated that serology results will be available 60 days after receipt of specimens at CDC
Analysis
This study is designed to examine and compare seroconversion in response to IPV given according to the WHOEPI and US schedules Our primary interest is to determine whether the seroconversion rate among children receiving the WHOEPI schedule is no lower than 10 less than the rate among those using the US schedule To determine the required number of study participants we will assume that the seroconversion rate using the US schedule will be 85 and we want power of 80 to find a significant difference between the rates if the rate among the WHOEPI schedule group is 75 or lower Using a one-tailed test and realizing that one-sided significance levels are uncommon in epidemiologic studies and give us a confidence level of only 90 and not the standard 95 based on the normal approximation of the binomial distribution a sample size of 220 subjects per arm will satisfy these criteria To compensate for expected attrition of 14 a goal of 250 infants will be set for each arm
Study Drug
IPV is an FDA licensed drug No investigational drugs are being used for the purpose of this study No routine vaccinations are being withheld for the purpose of this study Those participants randomized to the WHOEPI schedule will receive their vaccines on a different time schedule than they would usually follow in Puerto Rico However both schedules meet the parameters of the Advisory Committee of Immunization Practices ACIP 2 Because participants will be followed closely for up to 6 months of life it is likely that they will receive their vaccinations in a more timely manner than they might if not a part of the study Parents will be given a unique immunization card showing the schedule their infant will follow all vaccines administered will be recorded The card will indicate that they are enrolled in a study and list study staff names and contact telephone numbers
Informed Consent Procedures
Prior to infant vaccination parents will be given standard vaccine information statements VIS and informed consents in Spanish or English as they would if they were to immunize their child with their pediatrician or health clinic Information and risks of all administered vaccines will not be discussed in the study informed consent as the form would be overwhelmingly long
Confidentiality
Confidentiality will be assured by keeping all identifying material in a locked cabinet in a locked office All personal identifiers will be removed before data and specimens are shipped to CDC Records will be held confidential to the fullest extent allowed by state and federal laws
Information collected for this study will include only a minimum degree of sensitive personal information in the form of demographic data Its disclosure should pose negligible risk to participant and orparent Parents will be provided with the usual written information discussing pros and cons on each vaccine to be administered
