About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Dose Escalation, Phase I Safety, and Immunogenicity Trial of a Dengue Serotype 1 (DEN-1) Premembrane (prM) and Envelope (E) DNA Vaccine (D1ME100) in Healthy Adults Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to exame the safety of a DNA vaccine against dengue-1.

Read the detailed description

Dengue is a desease that affects 100 million people throughout the world mainly in tropical countries in the South Pacific, Asia, the Caribbean, and Africa. The disease often presents with high fever, severe headache, and joint/muscle pain that usually goes away on its own, but it can also present as a sometimes deadly hemorrhagic (bleeding) disease. Humans catch this disease by being bitten by mosquitoes that have been infected with dengue virus. Scientists at the Naval Medical Research Center have been working on vaccines to prevent dengue disease. This vaccine, referred to as D1ME, is an experimental DNA vaccine that contains genes from the dengue-1 virus. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of a new experimental vaccine against dengue and to see if the vaccine can stimulate the immune system.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Systemic and Local Reactogenicity Rates for Ungraded Symptoms

    Summary of ungraded systemic and local reactogenicity symptoms following each vaccination

    Measured: Months 0, 1 and 5

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Anti-dengue Antibody and T-cell and B-cell Responders

    Number of participants who responded, are reported. Response or a positive ELISPOT assay was defined as >65 spot forming cells per million PBMC for T-cells and >20 spot forming cells per million PBMC for B-cells

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing D1ME100 (dengue-1 premembrane/envelope DNA vaccine) in people with Dengue, run by U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command 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 2 inclusion and 17 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 20 Jun 2017. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 14 Apr 2017). 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?

Systemic and Local Reactogenicity Rates for Ungraded Symptoms (time frame: Months 0, 1 and 5). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00290147, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 20 Jun 2017.
