Brief Summary:
The objective of this study is to determine the minimum dose of ACAM2000 needed to produce a cutaneous reaction in at least 90% of a population of healthy adults at least 28 years of age and previously vaccinated against smallpox.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Smallpox Biological: ACAM2000 Smallpox Vaccine Biological: Vaccinia virus (calf lymph) smallpox vaccine: Dryvax® Phase 2

Detailed Description:

Specifically, the objectives of this study are to:

  1. Compare the safety and tolerability of four dose levels of ACAM2000 and a standard dose of Dryvax® in healthy adults at least 28 years of age and previously vaccinated to smallpox. Safety and tolerability will be determined by examination of the local cutaneous reaction, adverse events, physical examinations, vital signs, structured interviews, and laboratory analysis.

  2. Determine the immunogenicity of four dose levels of ACAM2000 and a standard dose of Dryvax® in healthy adults at least 28 years of age by comparing:

    1. the proportion of subjects at each dose level who develop a major cutaneous reaction
    2. the proportion of subjects in each treatment group who develop neutralizing antibodies, including the fold-increase in antibody titer between Baseline and Day 30 sera; and the geometric mean vaccinia neutralizing antibody titer on Day 30.
  3. Determine the minimum dose of ACAM2000 that is calculated to produce a major cutaneous reaction in at least 90% of a population of healthy adults at least 28 years of age, with a history of smallpox vaccination.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The Neutralizing Antibody Response Titers Post-vaccination With ACAM2000 or Dryvax® Smallpox Vaccine [ Time Frame: Day 30 post-vaccination ]
    The neutralizing antibody response titers were determined by the Plaque-Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT50)

  2. Participants With ≥ 4-fold Increase in Plaque-Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT50) Titers Post-vaccination With ACAM2000 or Dryvax® Smallpox Vaccine. [ Time Frame: Day 30 post-vaccination ]
  3. Number of Participants Reporting Adverse Events of Severe Intensity Post-vaccination With ACAM2000 or Dryvax® Smallpox Vaccine [ Time Frame: Days 0 to 30 post-vaccination ]

Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Rash Events Post-vaccination With ACAM2000 or Dryvax® Smallpox Vaccine [ Time Frame: Days 0 to 30 post-vaccination ]
  2. Selected Hematology Parameters (Hematocrit, Lymphocyte, and Eosinophil) at Baseline and Day 15 Post-vaccination With ACAM2000 or Dryvax® Smallpox Vaccine [ Time Frame: Days 0 (Baseline) and 15 post-vaccination ]
  3. Selected Hematology Parameters (Red Bood Cell and Platelets) at Baseline and Day 15 Post-vaccination With ACAM2000 or Dryvax® Smallpox Vaccine [ Time Frame: Days 0 (Baseline) and 15 post-vaccination ]
  4. Clinical Chemistry Parameters (Creatinine and Glucose) at Baseline and Day 15 Post-vaccination With ACAM2000 or Dryvax® Smallpox Vaccine [ Time Frame: Days 0 (Baseline) and 15 post-vaccination ]
  5. Clinical Chemistry Parameters (Aspartate Transaminase and Alanine Transaminase) at Baseline and Day 15 Post-vaccination With ACAM2000 or Dryvax® Smallpox Vaccine [ Time Frame: Days 0 (Baseline) and 15 post-vaccination ]
