Evaluating the Safety and Immune Response to Two Admixtures of a Tetravalent Dengue Virus Vaccine

Completed · Phase 1 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Dengue

In brief

Dengue viruses can cause dengue fever and other serious health conditions, primarily affecting people living in tropical regions of the world. This study will evaluate the safety and immune responses to two formulations of a tetravalent dengue virus vaccine in healthy adults who have previously been infected with a dengue virus or other flavivirus or have previously received a flavivirus vaccine.

You may qualify if…

• In good general health, as determined by physical examination, laboratory screening, and review of medical history
• Documented history or serologic evidence of previous dengue virus infection or other flavivirus infection (e.g., yellow fever virus [YFV], St. Louis encephalitis virus [SLE], West Nile virus [WNV], Japanese encephalitis virus [JEV], or tick-borne encephalitis virus [TBEV]) or documented previous receipt of a flavivirus vaccine (licensed or experimental)
• Available for the duration of the study, approximately 26 weeks post-second vaccination

• Behavioral, cognitive, or psychiatric disease that in the opinion of the investigator affects the ability of the participant to understand and cooperate with the requirements of the study protocol
• Screening laboratory values of Grade 1 or above for absolute neutrophil count (ANC), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and serum creatinine, as defined in the protocol
• Any other condition that in the opinion of the investigator would jeopardize the safety or rights of a participant in the trial or would render the participant unable to comply with the protocol

• Use of corticosteroids (excluding topical or nasal) or immunosuppressive drugs within 42 days prior to or following vaccination. Immunosuppressive dose of corticosteroids is defined as greater than or equal to 10 mg prednisone equivalent per day for greater than or equal to 14 days.
• Receipt of a live vaccine within 28 days or a killed vaccine within the 14 days prior to vaccination or anticipated receipt of any vaccine during the 42 days following vaccination
• Asplenia
• Receipt of blood products within the 6 months prior to study entry, including transfusions or immunoglobulin or anticipated receipt of any blood products or immunoglobulin during the 42 days following vaccination
• Anticipated receipt of any investigational agent in the 42 days before or after vaccination

• Refusal to allow storage of specimens for future research
• Additional Inclusion Criteria for Second Dose of Vaccine:
• In good general health, as determined by physical examination and review of medical history
• Available for the duration of the study, approximately 6 months post-vaccination
• Female participants of childbearing potential must be willing to use effective contraception for the duration of the trial. More information on this criterion can be found in the protocol.
