Safety and Immunogenicity of ChimeriVax-WN02 West Nile Vaccine in Healthy Adults
Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo Controlled Phase II Trial of the Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity of Lyophilized ChimeriVax-WN02 West Nile Vaccine in Healthy Adults
Study Overview
Status
Conditions
Detailed Description
West Nile Disease has been carried across the United States by migrating birds since it was first identified in New York city in 1999. It is transmitted by mosquitoes from birds to humans and can cause severe disease in some individuals. There is no specific treatment for West Nile Disease. The target population for a West Nile vaccine is older people, as they are more susceptible to severe disease. This trial includes a dose-finding part with a placebo control in young healthy adults, followed by a placebo-controlled examination of the chosen dose in older healthy adults.
Outcome measures include a comparison of adverse events between active treatment and placebo, a comparison of antibody and viremia measurements between dose levels and across age groups for the dose chosen for Part 2.

Exclusion Criteria: Part 2
- Clinically significant abnormalities on the Screening 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG).
An acute or chronic medical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would render vaccination unsafe or would interfere with the evaluation of responses. These conditions included, but were not limited to:

- Significant family history of cardiovascular disease in any immediate relative
- History of significant collagen vascular disease.
The unexplained presence of any of the following findings:
- Any significant episodes of confusion, memory loss, language impairment, other cognitive impairment, or other abnormal behavior if relatively abrupt in onset

Low dose steroids (≤ 10 mg prednisone or equivalent, topical or intra articular/bursal/tendon/epidural injections of corticosteroids) did not constitute a reason for exclusion.
- History of residence in or travel to Mexico or flavivirus endemic areas in the tropics (India, southeast Asia, Central America, Caribbean, or South America) for periods of 4 weeks or more within the last 10 years.
Subjects with clinically significant screening laboratory abnormalities and/or those having any of the following:

- Hepatic dysfunction defined as a bilirubin above upper limit of normal or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 2 x upper limit of normal.
- Prior history of anaphylaxis to foods, hymenoptera stings, vaccines, or drugs.
- Transfusion of blood or treatment with any blood product, including intramuscular or intravenous serum globulin within 6 months of the Screening Visit or anticipated up to Day 28, or intention to donate blood in the 28 days after vaccination.
