A Randomized, Double-blind, Equivalence Study of the Specificity of Tuberculin Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) (Aplisol®) in Comparison With a Reference Standard
Determine if investigational products and reference standard produce similar responses.
Primary:
To determine if the 2 investigational products (Aplisol formulated from the new Tuberculin
PPD drug substance and the reference standard PPD-S2) produce qualitatively similar
responses (positive or negative) in subjects who are uninfected with M. tuberculosis (Mtb)
or other mycobacteria.
Secondary:
1. To determine if the 2 investigational products have equivalent specificity for
detecting subjects currently or previously infected with Mtb;
2. To assess the tolerability of the investigational products in terms of the local and
systemic reactogenicity events.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Males or nonpregnant females, age 18 to 70 years
- Negligible risk of manifesting a positive PPD test as evidenced by:
- Prior history of negative PPD test or interferon gamma release assay (IGRA)
within 14 months before Screening
- No history of Bacillus Calmette- Guérin vaccination; or if vaccination
status is uncertain, was born in the US and did not live outside the US as
a child
- No history of Mtb or Mtb therapy (including isoniazid, rifampin,
ethambutol, pyrazinamide, or streptomycin)
- No history of infection with atypical mycobacteria, including suspicious
chest roentgenogram
- No history of high risk medical conditions (eg, HIV infection or other
immunosuppressive conditions, severe chronic renal disease [as evidenced by
a creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min], poorly controlled diabetes mellitus,
silicosis, intravenous drug use, or alcohol abuse)
- No known close contact to a confirmed Mtb case (family or social setting)
- No history of living or travelling in India, China, Sub-Saharan Africa, or
Southeast Asia in the past 6 months
- No exposure (other than casual) to high-risk environments for Mtb exposure
(eg, prisons, homeless shelters); healthcare workers are allowed
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subject is of childbearing potential and unable to use contraceptives; is planning
pregnancy; is pregnant or lactating
- History of anaphylactic type reaction or other severe reaction to PPD in the
past, including a history of blistering or sloughing
- Presence of conditions that may suppress TST reactivity, including:
Protocol No. JHP-Aplisol-03 Confidential 04 May 2012 Page 8 of 38
- Acute viral infections, including measles, mumps, chicken pox, human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV1, HIV2). Mild viral syndromes are allowed.
- Acute bacterial infections including typhoid fever, brucellosis, typhus, leprosy, or
pertussis
- Acute systemic fungal infection
- Live virus vaccinations within the past 6 weeks, including measles, mumps, polio,
varicella, or FluMist®
- Metabolic derangements (eg, poorly controlled diabetes, Cushing syndrome, chronic
renal failure [as evidenced by a creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min])
