Context Group A streptococcal infections and their sequelae represent a global health problem. Recent advances have allowed previous obstacles associated with group A streptococcal vaccine development to be overcome.Objective To preliminarily evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of ascending doses of a recombinant fusion peptide group A streptococcal vaccine containing N-terminal M protein fragments from serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6, 19, and 24 in healthy volunteers.Design, Setting, and Participants An open-label, uncontrolled, dose-ascending phase 1 vaccine trial of 28 healthy adult volunteers aged 18 to 50 years recruited from the metropolitan area of Baltimore, Md, between October 5, 1999, and February 26, 2003, using newspaper advertisements and posted fliers, and evaluated in the outpatient facility of the Center for Vaccine Development.Interventions Each volunteer received 3 spaced intramuscular injections of 50 mug (n=8), 100 mug (n=10), or 200 mug (n=10) of hexavalent group A streptococcal vaccine formulated with aluminum hydroxide into the deltoid muscle of alternating arms.Main Outcome Measures Assessments of clinical safety, including elicitation of antibodies that cross-react with host tissues, and immunogenicity as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and assays of opsonophagocytic- and bactericidal-antibody responses.Results One year of intensive follow-up revealed the vaccine to be well tolerated. There was no evidence of tissue cross-reactive antibodies or immunological complications. At the highest (200 mug) dose, vaccination elicited significant increases in geometric mean antibody levels to all 6 component M antigens by ELISA (all P
