Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 45 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female at least 18 and less than or equal to 45 years old at time of screening.
  • In good health as determined by medical history, physical examination including height and weight, and clinical safety laboratory examinations. For creatinine and alkaline phosphatase levels the applicable cut-offs for determination are the upper limits of normal only, as there is no clinical significance associated with results below the lower limits of normal for these laboratory values. For aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), the applicable cut-offs for determination are less than 1.5 times the upper limits of normal, as there is no clinical significance associated with results below the lower limits of normal for these laboratory values or with mild elevations above the upper limits of normal.
  • Laboratory values not listed in Table 3 which are obtained as part of a reference laboratory pre-determined panel will be considered as acceptable for enrollment if they are either within reference laboratory normal range or within the ranges specified for a grade I AE per the protocol Toxicology Tables in Appendix B. Values within reference laboratory normal ranges or within ranges specified for a grade I AE per the Toxicology Tables in Appendix B will be considered as discussed with the medical monitor and may be enrolled with no further discussion. Values with deviations outside the ranges specified for a grade 1 AE in the Toxciology Tables in Appendix B will be discussed further between the PI and the medical monitor prior to vaccination and assessed for impact on volunteer safety. Urinalyses obtained from female volunteers on their menses may be repeated after their menses have concluded without discussion with the medical monitor. Laboratory values which are not listed in the Toxicology Tables in Appendix B and which are out of the reference laboratory normal range will be discussed with the DMID medical monitor to determine its relevance for safety and impact on enrollment and follow-up vaccinations.
  • Blood tests negative for antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1, Hepatitis C, dengue, West Nile, and negative for Hepatitis B surface antigen.
  • No history of dengue or West Nile infection or participation in a previous dengue or West Nile vaccine trial.

About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Phase I Dose Escalation Study to Investigate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Tetravalent Chimeric Dengue Vaccine in Healthy Adult Volunteers

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and immune response to a live attenuated dengue vaccine that could protect people against all 4 types of dengue virus. Live attenuated means that while this vaccine contains 4 live dengue viruses the viruses have been attenuated (weakened) so as not to cause dengue disease in people. Dengue virus is spread to people by mosquitoes and can cause sickness and even death. Seventy-two subjects between the ages of 18-45 years old will be enrolled in this research study at Saint Louis University Center for Vaccine Development. Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 groups to receive 2 doses of the study vaccine or placebo (inactive substance). Study procedures include: maintaining a diary to record temperature and side effects, physical exam, electrocardiogram (ECG) (measures the activity of the heart), and blood samples. Participants will be involved in study related procedures for about 10 months.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a tetravalent dengue vaccine administered subcutaneously or intradermally. The hypotheses being tested in this study is whether or not a tetravalent dengue vaccine may be safely administered to healthy normal individuals by intradermal (ID) or subcutaneous (SC) injection and provide measurable levels of serum neutralizing antibodies against all four dengue virus serotypes. The study is also designed to compare safety and immunogenicity between routes of administration and dose levels. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a two-dose regimen tetravalent dengue vaccine administered either SC or ID to healthy adult volunteers. Two dose levels will be tested in a dose-escalation format. Safety and tolerability will be measured by conducting post-vaccination safety assessments including physical examinations, injection site examinations, adverse event monitoring, hematology, blood chemistry, and urine dipstick. The secondary objective of this study is to assess the immunogenicity of the vaccine, in terms of neutralizing antibodies, against all four dengue serotypes when administered at two dose levels by two routes of administration in healthy adults. Titers of serum neutralizing antibodies will be measured at pre-vaccination, after prime and boost vaccinations and assessed by comparing titers at the two dose levels as well as the two routes of administration. In addition, viremia deriving from the attenuated vaccine viruses will be measured on days 0 (baseline), 2, 4, 5/6, 7, 9, 11, and 14 after both prime and boost vaccinations. Levels of neutralizing antibodies will also be measured in samples to be obtained on days 180 and 270 for analysis and submission in a supplement to the study report. This study will enroll 72 healthy flavivirus-negative male and female subjects between the ages of 18 and 45.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of volunteers overall and in each dose group with unsolicited vaccine-associated adverse events (AEs) in each dose group.

    Measured: From time the first dose of vaccine is administered until the end of the study (Study Days 0-270 or through termination visit, if terminated early).

  2. Number of volunteers overall and in each dose group with local or systemic vaccine reactogenicity, based on evaluation of solicited adverse events (AEs) recorded on subject memory aids or during clinical assessments.

    Measured: Through 14 days after prime or boost vaccination.

  3. Number of volunteers overall and in each dose group with vaccine-associated serious adverse events (SAEs).

    Measured: From time the first dose of vaccine is administered (Day0) until the end of the study (Day 270).

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Immunogenicity: geometric mean neutralizing antibody titers (GMT) to each of the 4 dengue serotypes.

    Measured: At 14, 30, 60, and 90 days after the prime vaccination on Day 0, and at 14 and 30 days after the boost vaccination on Day 90.

  2. Viremia: incidence, duration, and titer of viremia for each of the DENVax vaccine components.

    Measured: Days 0, 2, 4, 5/6, 7, 9, 11, and 14 after each vaccination.

  3. Immunogenicity: durability of vaccine-induced immune responses based on neutralizing antibody titers to all 4 dengue serotypes.

    Measured: At 90 days and 180 days after the boost vaccination will be analyzed for inclusion in a supplemental study report.

  4. Immunogenicity: proportion of subjects seroconverting to each of the 4 dengue serotypes, where seroconversion is defined as plaque reduction neutralization assay (PRNT)50 titer greater than or equal to 10.

    Measured: Days 0 (pre-prime dose), 14, 30, 60, 90 (pre-booster dose), 104 and 120.

A Phase 1 study testing Modified Live Tetravalent Chimeric Dengue Vaccine (SC) and Modified Live Tetravalent Chimeric Dengue Vaccine (ID) in people with Dengue, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) 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 11 inclusion and 22 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 4 Feb 2013. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 volunteers overall and in each dose group with unsolicited vaccine-associated adverse events (AEs) in each dose group. (time frame: From time the first dose of vaccine is administered until the end of the study (Study Days 0-270 or through termination visit, if terminated early).). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01110551, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 4 Feb 2013.
