Phase I Study of the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Novel H5N1 Influenza Vaccine in Healthy Adults Age 18-49 Years
This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of VAX161B [STF2.HA5 H5N1], a
recombinant, inactivated, subunit influenza vaccine given as a two dose regimen at a range
of doses.
The purpose of this study is to test an investigational vaccine known as "VAX161B". VAX161B
is a vaccine for the influenza A virus subtype H5N1 avian influenza virus (bird flu). In
this study, the subject will receive the VAX161B vaccine at one of five doses to see which
does might be the best. VaxInnate want to find out how safe these vaccines are and how well
they are tolerated by people who receive them. To measure how effective each type of
vaccine is, VaxInnate will test the ability of the body to develop an immune response, which
means how well the body recognizes and defends itself against the influenza virus.
