February 27, 2018 updated by: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)

A Phase 1 Evaluation of the Safety and Protective Efficacy of a Single Dose of a Trivalent Live Attenuated Dengue Vaccine to Protect Against Infection With DENV-2

Infection with dengue viruses is the leading cause of hospitalization and death in children in many tropical Asian countries, and the development of a dengue vaccine is a top health priority. This study will evaluate the ability of a single dose of a trivalent dengue vaccine to protect against infection with an attenuated candidate DENV-2 vaccine, administered 6 months after the trivalent dengue vaccine.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

There are 4 types of dengue virus (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4), each capable of causing dengue illness ranging from a mild illness to life-threatening disease. This study will evaluate a trivalent live attenuated dengue admixture vaccine that contains 3 different monovalent dengue vaccine candidates, representing 3 of the 4 dengue serotypes (DENV-1, DENV-3, and DENV-4). Study researchers will evaluate the safety and protective efficacy of a single dose of the trivalent dengue vaccine against viremia and rash induced by infection with an attenuated DENV-2 virus (rDEN2Δ30-7169), administered 6 months after the trivalent dengue vaccine.

This study will enroll healthy adults with no history of previous flavivirus infection. At Day 0 (study entry), participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the trivalent dengue vaccine admixture or placebo. On Day 180, all participants will receive the rDEN2Δ30-7169 vaccine. Study visits will occur on Days 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 21, 28, 56, 90, 150, 180, 184, 186, 188, 190, 192, 194, 196, 201, 208, 236, 270, and 360. Visits will include physical examinations and blood collection. All participants will record their temperature 3 times a day for 16 days after each vaccination.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.
