Immune response of fractional doses of Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine (IPV) administered intradermally in the Sultanate of Oman
ISRCTN ISRCTN17418767
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
Public title Immune response of fractional doses of Inactivated Poliovirus Vaccine (IPV) administered intradermally in the Sultanate of Oman
Scientific title
Acronym N/A
Serial number at source RPC189
Study hypothesis 1. Does a schedule of three fractional 0.1 ml IPV doses administered intradermally (intervention) provide comparable seroconversion and titre with a three-dose schedule of full 0.5 ml IPV doses (control) administered intramuscularly at 2, 4, and 6 months?
2. What is the contribution to seroconversion and titre in each group after the first, second and third dose of study vaccines?
3. What is the influence of maternally-derived antibodies on seroconversion and titre?
4. Does each study arm have comparable adverse events - systemic and local (the intervention group receives fractional doses by needle-free device, while the control group receives full doses by intramuscular injection by needle and syringe)?
5. Is resistance to excretion of poliovirus type 1 (an indication of mucosal immunity) following a challenge dose with monovalent type 1 Oral Poliovirus Vaccine (mOPV1) similar among the two study groups?
Ethics approval Ethics approval received from:
1. World Health Organization (WHO) Research Ethics Review Committee on the 29th January 2007 (ref: RPC189)
2. Ethical Review Committee of the Ministry of Health, Muscat, Oman on the 30th August 2006 (ref: 502)
Study design Randomised controlled clinical trial
Countries of recruitment Oman
Disease/condition/study domain Poliomyelitis vaccination
Participants - inclusion criteria 1. Healthy Omani newborns (greater than 2.5 kg, apgar score greater than 9 at five minutes)
2. Living within the catchment area of the participating study site
3. Newborns delivered by caesarean section
Participants - exclusion criteria 1. Newborns requiring hospitalisation (except if in hospital because of maternal admission)
2. Birth weight below 2.5 kg
3. Apgar score less than 9 at five minutes
4. Non-Omani
5. Residence outside the catchment area, or families expecting to move away during the study period
6. A diagnosis or suspicion of immunodeficiency disorder (either in the participant or in a member of the immediate family) will also render the newborn ineligible for the study

Patient information material
Target number of participants 400
Interventions Patients will be randomised between:
1. A fractional dose of IPV (0.1 ml or 1/5 of a dose) administered intradermally by needle-free device - potency of IPV is 40-8-32-D antigen units
2. A full dose of IPV (0.5 ml) administered intramuscularly by needle and syringe - potency of IPV is 40-8-32-D antigen units
