  • Subjects who have an acute illness with or without elevated body temperature (>=37.5°C) within 3 days prior to the scheduled first vaccination will not be vaccinated. Subjects may be included at a repeat visit provided that (1) the illness has resolved (body temperature < 37.5 °C), (2) the repeat visit is no more than 14 calendar days after the Screening Visit, and (3) the center is still open for recruitment.
  • If subjects have received antipyretics within 4 hours prior to the scheduled time of vaccination, the vaccination should be performed at a later date, as long as the center is still open for recruitment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) Vaccine (Inactivated) in people with Encephalitis, Tick-Borne, run by Pfizer at 8 sites in 2 countries.

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 7 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 19 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Czechia, Austria. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 Jan 2024). 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?

Seropositivity Rate as Determined by Neutralization Test (NT) 28 Days After the Second Vaccination (time frame: 28 days after Vaccination 2). 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 Jan 2024.
