Brief Summary:
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a type of bacteria that can cause infections of the ears, sinuses or lungs. It can also cause more serious infections of the blood or brain. The elderly and young children are more vulnerable to these types of infections.
The vaccines available at present are effective only on a certain number of strains of the bacteria. The PnuBioVax vaccine is being developed to work on a broader range of strains. This study will be looking at the safety and tolerability of the study drug for three different dosages: 50 μg, 200 μg, and 500 μg compared to placebo.
The population eligible to take part in the study are healthy male and female subjects between 18 and 40 years of age.
Volunteers for the study will be recruited through advertisements. Each volunteer will have received an information sheet concerning the study and will have agreed to participate in writing. Volunteers will be given at least 48 hours between reading the information leaflet and agreeing to participate. Only subjects who agree to undertake precautions to avoid pregnancy of either themselves of their partner during the study period will be eligible. Volunteers will give signed consent for their physician to be notified about their participation in the trial.

Detailed Description:
This is a phase I study to assess the safety and immunogenicity of PnuBioVax administered on three occasions 28 days apart at dose levels of 50 µg, 200 µg, and 500 µg in healthy adult subjects.
The study will involve 8 visits in total; screening period to determine eligibility, 3 treatment periods comprising of an overnight stay at the clinic (days 1, 29 and 57) and 4 outpatient follow up visits (7 days after each dosing period and one on day 85). Volunteers will also be requested to complete a diary card from day 1 to day 85.
36 Volunteers will take part in this study and will be randomly assigned to each sequential dose group as follows:
* Cohort 1: up to 3 doses of 50 µg of PnuBioVax or placebo
* Cohort 2: up to 3 doses of 200 µg of PnuBioVax or placebo
* Cohort 3: up to 3 doses of 500 µg of PnuBioVax or placebo Within each cohort, nine subjects will receive PnuBioVax and three subjects will receive placebo. Each subject will receive administrations of PnuBioVax or placebo on Days 1, 29 and 57.
The lowest dose of PnuBioVax will be evaluated first (i.e. Cohort 1). Dose escalation will only proceed in the subsequent cohorts if blinded safety data (adverse events, injection site reactions, concomitant medication, vital signs and routine laboratory assessments) from day 8 from the 12 subjects in the preceding cohort have been reviewed by the Sponsor and Principal Investigator and are found to be satisfactory. The Sponsor and Principal Investigator will also review the safety data after each subsequent dose to ensure repeat dosing does not give rise to safety issues.
Subjects will be followed up 7 days after each vaccination and also by telephone 14 and 21 days following each vaccination. Subjects will also be requested to record any adverse events in a daily diary. Haematology, biochemistry and vital signs will be measured at each follow up visit (except day 85) and a full safety follow up will be completed 7 days after the third dose (day 64).
Bloods will be drawn for evaluation of the immune response to the PnuBioVax, 28 days following the first, second and third administrations (Days 29, 57 and 85). The blood draw at day 85 will also be used for exploratory analyses.
The presence of autoantibodies will be assessed at screening (baseline level), and day 85 by measurement of anti nuclear antibody (ANA) levels.
The study will involve 8 visits in total; screening period to determine eligibility, 3 treatment periods comprising of an overnight stay at the clinic (days 1, 29 and 57) and 4 outpatient follow up visits (7 days after each dosing period and one on day 85).
