About this study

Official title: Observer-blind, Single Center, Controlled Study of 2 Doses of Various Formulations of the WRAIR Live Attenuated Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine Compared to a Placebo Control, Administered on a 0-6-month Schedule, to Healthy Adults

This descriptive study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of 5 different formulations of the WRAIR dengue vaccine compared to a placebo.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be randomized into one of 6 groups. One group will receive a placebo vaccine and the others will receive one of 5 different dengue vaccine formations. Each subject will receive two doses six months apart. Study subjects who elect to participate in a mosquito transmissibility component of the study will undergo mosquito feedings during each of the two assigned follow-up visits after vaccine dose 1. All subjects will have 11 venipunctures during 11 visits (i.e., screening plus 10 study visits) over a period of nine months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Live attenuated tetravalent dengue vaccine in people with Dengue, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Feb 2019). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms (time frame: During the 21-day (Days 0-20) follow-up after Dose 1 of the study vaccine). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Feb 2019.
