A Study to Evaluate Vaxart's Oral Bivalent GI.1/GII.4 Norovirus Vaccine in Healthy Lactating Females and Their Nursing Infants

Plain-language summary
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of an oral bivalent GI.1/GII.4 norovirus vaccine administration in healthy lactating female participants and to assess the short-term immunogenicity of oral bivalent GI.1/GII.4 norovirus vaccine administration in healthy lactating female participants and its association with the immunogenicity response in breastmilk.

Inclusion criteria
. Lactating females aged ≥ 18 years at the time of enrolment and their breastfed infants aged \>30 days to 11 months of age at the time of the participants' study drug administration.
. In stable and good general health, without significant medical illness, based on medical history, physical examination (including vital signs), and clinical judgment of the investigator.
. Lactating females willing and able to provide informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in the protocol.
. Lactating females who are willing to provide consent for their breastfed infant.
. Negative pregnancy tests at screening and prior to dose on Day 1.
. Available for all planned visits and tele-health appointments, and ability to comply with all study-related evaluations (including but not limited to having the ability and willingness to swallow multiple small enteric-coated tablets per study dose, express/pump breastmilk, and collect infant stool samples).
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.

. Plan to continue breastfeeding as the main source of the infant's nutrition for at least 1 month (longer is preferred with goal of 6 months post dose if possible) from the time of study drug administration. Exclusive breastfeeding is acceptable but not necessary.

Exclusion criteria
. Presence of a fever ≥ 38.0°C measured orally at baseline, on Day 1 prior to vaccination. (Assessment may be repeated once during screening period).
. Acute disease within 72 hours prior to vaccination, defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness (as determined by the Investigator through medical history and physical exam). (Assessment may be repeated once during screening period).
. Participants who have received antipyretic/analgesic medications within 24 hours prior to the intended vaccine administration.
. Positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C virus (HCV) tests at the screening visit.
