Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 286631 0
Reduction in excretion of a challenge dose of vaccine poliovirus administered 28 days after a single dose of bOPV or IPV following a challenge dose with bOPV, compared to an unvaccinated control arm. This outcome is assessed by comparision of viral shedding in stool of enrolled children.

Day 28 of study
Secondary outcome [1] 296328 0
Increase of sIgA in gingival fluids and stools 28 days after a dose of bOPV or IPV.
Timepoint [1] 296328 0
Day 28 of study
Secondary outcome [2] 296329 0
Increase in poliovirus antibody secreting cells (measured with ELISPOT) 7 days following a dose of bOPV or IPV.

Day 7 of study
Secondary outcome [3] 296330 0
Seroconversion or antibody titre boosting 28 days following a single dose of bOPV or IPV.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Healthy children aged 6-11 months, 5-6 years or 10-11-years, that reside within a relatively short and easily accessible distance (<30 km) to the study sites, and do not plan to travel away during entire the study period
Minimum age
6 Months
Maximum age
11 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
Children with known thrombocytopenia or bleeding disorders; children acutely ill or with signs of acute infection (e.g. fever > 101 F) at the time of enrolment; residence >30 km from study site; or families expecting to be absent during the 60-day study period. A diagnosis or suspicion of immunodeficiency disorder (either in the participant or in a member of the immediate family) will also render the child ineligible for the study.

Summary
Brief summary
This trial will provide the first data on mucosal immunity in children living in a community setting of Pakistan and will assess which polio vaccines are more efficient in boosting mucosal immunity, which would provide an effective barrier to subsequent excretion and community spread of poliovirus. The data from this trial will likely have programmatic implications, especially in determining whether the current age range for polio campaigns (children aged <5 years) should be re-evaluated. Additionally, the trial will compare different markers of mucosal immunity such as measurement of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) levels in gingival fluid or stools and ELISPOT test, with the gold standard test, which is the measurement of vaccine virus shedding after a challenge with a known dose of OPV. Identifying new surrogate markers of mucosal immunity is important because the challenge test requires high workload and resources, and its use in the post-eradication era may not be possible.
