About this study
Official title: Assessment of the Immunogenicity and Safety of Japanese Encephalitis Live Attenuated SA 14-14-2 Vaccine in Children in Sri Lanka
To facilitate introduction of live attenuated SA 14-14-2 Japanese encephalitis vaccine (LJEV) into the National Immunization Programme of Sri Lanka, we evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of co-administration of LJEV and measles vaccine at 9 months of age. The primary hypothesis was that the seropositivity rate at 28 days post vaccination in Japanese Encephalitis (JE) and measles concomitantly vaccinated subjects 9 months of age is greater than 80% for JE and greater than 90% for measles.
Read the detailed description
JE virus is an arbovirus that causes a devastating neurological disease resulting in high rates of mortality orneurologic sequelae. The severity of sequelae, together with the volume of cases, makes JE an important cause of encephalitis. The disease is endemic across temperate and tropical zones of Asia,and because of its zoonotic cycle, eradicating JE from the environment is unrealistic. Universal childhood vaccination is essential for disease control. In Sri Lanka, immunization against JE began in 1988. By 2006, two types of JE vaccines were available for use in Sri Lanka-inactivated mouse brain-derived vaccine and live attenuated SA-14-14-2 JE vaccine (LJEV). Only the inactivated vaccine was being used in the country's public-sector immunization program. Concern in Japan over a rare but potentially dangerous adverse event associated with a mouse brain-derived vaccine led the manufacturer in Japan to discontinue production in 2005, thus limiting global supply of inactivated JE vaccines and raising costs for remaining inactivated vaccines. In August of 2006, the World Health Organization stated in its position paper on Japanese encephalitis vaccines that the mouse brain-derived vaccine should be replaced by a new generation of JE vaccines. For Sri Lanka, switching to the less expensive LJEV was estimated in 2006 to save the National Immunization Programme (NIP) between US$8.6 and $8.9 million annually in direct vaccine costs alone. To generate local immunogenicity and safety data to guide policy for potential use of LJEV in Sri Lanka's NIP, the Ministry of Healthcare and Nutrition, in cooperation with PATH, initiated the study. The study was conducted in three peri-urban health divisions of low JE endemicity in the District of Colombo.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number and Percentage of Subjects With Demonstrated Seropositivity for Japanese Encephalitis (JE) Neutralizing Antibodies
Blood serum was collected immediately before administration (Day 0), Day 28, six months post-administration, and 1 year later. Serum neutralizing antibodies to the Beijing-1 JE strain were measured by plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) where the neutralizing titer was measured as the inverse dilution at which plaque counts were reduced by 50%. Seropositivity was defined as a titer of ≥1:10.
Measured: 1 year
Number and Percentage of Subjects With Demonstrated Seropositivity for Anti-measles Immunoglobulin G (IgG): Manufacturer Definition
Blood serum was collected immediately before administration (Day 0), Day 28, six months post-administration, and 1 year later. Serum anti-measles immunoglobulin class G (IgG) antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (Serion ELISA classic Measles Virus IgG, Serion GmbH, Würzburg,Germany). For anti-measles IgG, two definitions of seropositivity were used: per manufacturer's instruction (concentration of>200 mIU/mL, this table) and when including those with "borderline" results (≥150 mIU/mL).
Measured: 1 year
Number and Percentage of Subjects With Demonstrated Seropositivity for Anti-measles Immunoglobulin G (IgG): Including Borderline Subjects
Blood serum was collected immediately before administration (Day 0), Day 28, six months post-administration, and 1 year later. Serum anti-measles immunoglobulin class G (IgG) antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (Serion ELISA classic Measles Virus IgG, Serion GmbH, Würzburg,Germany). For anti-measles IgG, two definitions of seropositivity were used: per manufacturer's instruction (concentration of>200 mIU/mL) and when including those with "borderline" results (≥150 mIU/mL, this table).
Measured: 1 year

Number and Percentage of Subjects With Immediate Reactions, Local and Systemic Reactions, and Unsolicited Adverse Events (AE)
Subjects were monitored for immediate AEs and local reactions for 30 minutes after each injection by a study physician. Thereafter, parents recorded axillary temperature, local reactions (redness, swelling, pain, and other local reactions), and systemic symptoms (high-grade fever, anorexia, crying, diarrhea, drowsiness, insomnia, irritability, vomiting, and other systemic symptoms) in a study diary for 7 days afterwards. Study staff called the subjects' parents 2 days after vaccination and monthly through 1 year to inquire about the child's well being and review the diary card. The subject was visited at home on Day 7 to review and collect the reactogenicity diary card. The subject returned to the vaccination clinic on Day 28, 6 months, and 1 year to be examined, have a blood draw, and review any AEs or serious adverse events (SAE) with parents.
Measured: 1 year
Number of Solicited Local Reactions to LJEV: Days 0-3
Parents recorded axillary temperature, local reactions (redness, swelling, pain, and other local reactions), and systemic symptoms (high-grade fever, anorexia, crying, diarrhea, drowsiness, insomnia, irritability, vomiting, and other systemic symptoms) in a study diary for 7 days after vaccination. The subject was visited at home on Day 7 to review and collect the reactogenicity diary card.
Measured: 3 days
Number of Solicited Local Reactions to LJEV: Days 4-7

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Live, Attenuated Japanese Encephalitis SA 14-14-2 Vaccine and Live, attenuated measles vaccine in people with Japanese Encephalitis, run by PATH at 3 sites in Sri Lanka.
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 4 inclusion and 18 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 8 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 3 sites in Sri Lanka. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
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 8 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 and Percentage of Subjects With Demonstrated Seropositivity for Japanese Encephalitis (JE) Neutralizing Antibodies (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 3 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 8 Feb 2019.
