This clinical trial will evaluate safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy (prevention of Mtb infection as measured by IGRA conversions) of H56:IC31 in remotely BCG vaccinated adolescents.
This clinical trial will evaluate safety, immunogenicity, and prevention of Mtb infection, (measured by IGRA conversion) of H56:IC31 in remotely BCG vaccinated adolescents. A TB vaccination strategy incorporating H56:IC31 in adolescents or young adults, if found to prevent Mtb infection, would likely have a major impact on TB disease, TB transmission, and control of the epidemic. If vaccination with H56:IC31 is shown to prevent infection with Mtb in this proof of concept study in adolescents, additional larger scale studies examining the impact on TB disease in more diverse populations would be warranted. Primary objectives * To evaluate the safety profile of H56:IC31 compared to placebo in HIV-uninfected, remotely BCG vaccinated adolescents. * To evaluate prevention of Mtb infection by H56:IC31 compared to placebo, as measured by rates of conversion using an ESAT-6 free IGRA. Secondary objectives * To evaluate prevention of Mtb infection by H56:IC31 compared to placebo, as measured by rates of sustained conversion using an ESAT-6 free IGRA. * To evaluate trends in ESAT-6 free IGRA prolonged/sustained conversions and late reversions (i.e., through more than 6 months post initial conversion) in ESAT-6 free IGRA converters. * To investigate the immunogenicity of H56:IC31 in HIV-uninfected, remotely BCG vaccinated adolescents.
