Evaluation of the Safety and Immune Response to an Investigational Dengue Type 1 Vaccine
Completed · Phase 1 · Has a placebo group
Conditions studied: Dengue Virus
In brief
Dengue viruses can cause dengue fever and other serious health conditions, primarily affecting people living in tropical regions of the world. There are four types of dengue virus, and infection with one does not offer protection against the others. This study will test whether a vaccine developed to prevent infection with dengue virus type 1 (DEN1) causes a response in people's immune system and is safe.
