A Phase III, Multicenter, Double Blind, Randomized Study of SII Yellow Fever Vaccine to Compare Safety and Immunogenicity With STAMARIL® In Healthy Infants

The study is designed as a Phase III, double-blind, multi-center, randomized, active-controlled study in which four groups of participants (n=554 per group) will receive either one of three different manufacturing lots of SII-YFV or STAMARIL® - a licensed and WHO pre-qualified YFV.

Detailed Description

The study is designed as a Phase III, double-blind, multi-center, randomized, active-controlled study in which four groups of participants (n=554 per group) will receive either one of three different manufacturing lots of SII-YFV or STAMARIL® - a licensed and WHO pre-qualified YFV.

A single dose of either SII-YFV or STAMARIL® will be administered concomitantly with an MMR and a Men A vaccine. The study will start only after the approval from the applicable ethics committees and national regulatory agencies. Following parental / guardian consent, participants will be screened for eligibility based on the defined inclusion and exclusion criteria for the trial. There will be three scheduled visits during the study. A screening and vaccination visit (Day 0) followed by additional study visits on Day 28 and on Day 180 post-vaccination.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: SII Yellow Fever Vaccine Lot A

SII-YFV Lot A:

SII Yellow Fever vaccine is Live attenuated Yellow Fever Virus (17D-213 Strain) not less than 1000 IU/dose propagated in specific pathogen-free chick embryos.

Diluent: 0.5 mL of sterile water for injection

In this arm a total of 554 participants will be enrolled. All participants will receive a single dose of SII-YFV Lot A will be administered concomitantly with an MMR and a Men A vaccine.

SII YF vaccine:

Live attenuated Yellow Fever Virus (17D-213 Strain) not less than 1000 IU/dose propagated in specific pathogen-free chick embryos.

SII-YFV contains the 17D-213 vaccine strain, a derivative of 17D-204 strain which is used in many currently produced yellow fever vaccines. SIIPL imported the YF WHO Primary Seed Virus lot 213-77 from National Institute for Biological Standards and Control (NIBSC) for preparation of the master seed virus, working seed virus and the vaccine.

After reconstitution, 1 dose (0.5 mL) contains:

  • Yellow fever virus 17D-213 strain (live, attenuated) not less than 1000 IU propagated in specific pathogen-free chick embryos
  • Excipients with known effects:
  • This product contains approximately 5 mg of sorbitol per dose.
Experimental: SII Yellow Fever Vaccine Lot B

SII-YFV Lot B:

After reconstitution, 1 dose (0.5 mL) contains:

  • Yellow fever virus 17D-204 strain (live, attenuated) not less than 1000 IU propagated in specific pathogen-free chick embryos
  • Excipients with known effects:
  • This product contains approximately 8 mg of sorbitol (E420) per dose.
