A Double-Blind Placebo-Control Dose Escalating Study to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of dmLT by Oral, Sublingual and Intradermal Vaccination in Adults Residing in an Endemic Area
Stopped: COVID 19 cases at the site

Plain-language summary
This is a trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of double mutant heat-labile toxin LTR192G/L211A (dmLT) from Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) by oral, sublingual, or intradermal vaccination in approximately 135 healthy adult volunteers, age 18-45 years. Study duration is approximately 2.5 years, with each participant duration for up to 9 months depending on the route of dmLT administered. There is no specific hypothesis being tested in this study. The primary objective of this study is to assess the reactogenicity, safety, and tolerability of dmLT when administered in three sequential doses, over a range of dosages by oral, sublingual, or intradermal routes.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.

Exclusion criteria
. Women who are pregnant or lactating or have a positive urine pregnancy test at screening or on the day of vaccinations.
. Presence or history of a chronic medical condition\* that would, in the opinion of the investigator, render vaccination unsafe or interfere with the evaluation of the vaccine.
. Presence of a significant dermatologic condition\*, or tattoo(s), scarring or significant skin damage at the vaccination site that would impede evaluation of local reactogenicity.
. Any developmental abnormality of the palate.
. Participants diagnosed with autoimmune disorders, chronic inflammatory disorders or neurological disorders with a potential autoimmune correlation.
. Use of long-term (\> / = 2 weeks) oral steroids, intranasal or topical prednisone (or equivalent), parenteral steroids, or high-dose inhaled steroids (\> 800 microgram/day of beclomethasone dipropionate or equivalent) within the preceding 6 months.
