About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Evaluation of the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Booster Dose of TV003 Administered 12 Months After Initial Vaccination With TV003

Dengue viruses can cause dengue fever and other more severe forms of disease. This study will evaluate the safety and immune response to two doses of a dengue virus vaccine given 12 months apart in healthy adults.

Read the detailed description

Dengue viruses are a major health concern, particularly in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The World Health Organization (WHO) has made the development of a dengue vaccine a top priority. There are four types of dengue viruses (DEN1, DEN2, DEN3, and DEN4), each of which can cause various illnesses, including dengue fever, or the more severe disease, dengue hemorrhagic fever/shock syndrome (DHF/DSS). This study will evaluate the safety and immune response to two doses of a dengue virus vaccine (TV003) when administered 12 months apart in healthy adults. The study will also evaluate whether the candidate vaccine may protect against all four types of dengue viruses.

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the TV003 study vaccine or placebo vaccine. At study entry, participants will undergo a blood collection and physical examination, and female participants will take a pregnancy test. Participants will then receive an injection of their assigned vaccine. They will take their temperature three times a day for 16 days after each vaccination and record the results on a diary card, which research staff will review during participants' study visits. Additional study visits will occur on Days 3, 10, 14, 21, 28, 56, 90, 180, 270, and 330. All study visits will include blood collection and a physical examination; select visits will include a pregnancy test for female participants. At a study visit on Day 360, all participants will receive an injection of the same vaccine they received at study entry. Additional study visits will occur on Days 363, 370, 374, 381, 388, 416, 450, and 540, and will include the same study procedures as previously performed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TV003 VaccineBiological

    TV003 will contain an admixture of the following monovalent dengue vaccines: 10^3 PFU of rDEN1Δ30, 10^3 PFU of rDEN2/4Δ30(ME), 10^3 PFU of rDEN3Δ30/31-7164, and 10^3 PFU of rDEN4Δ30. TV003 vaccine will be administered by subcutaneous injection in participants' deltoid region of the upper arm.

  • Placebo VaccineBiological

    Placebo vaccine will be administered by subcutaneous injection in participants' deltoid region of the upper arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of vaccine-related adverse events (AEs), graded by severity

    Measured: Measured through Day 540

  2. Measurement of neutralizing antibody titers to DEN1, DEN2, DEN3, and DEN4 at Day 0 and 28, 56, and 90 days after each vaccination

    Monovalent, bivalent, trivalent, and tetravalent seropositivity and seroconversion rates will be determined at Day 0 and 28, 56, and 90 days after each vaccination.

    Measured: Measured at Day 0 and 28, 56, and 90 days after each vaccination

  3. Determination if a second dose of vaccine given at Day 360 will induce seropositivity in those vaccinees who remained seronegative to one or more DENV serotypes following the first vaccination

    Measured: Measured through Day 540

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Frequency, quantity, and duration of viremia following each vaccination

    Measured: Measured through Day 540

  2. Number of vaccinees infected with DEN1, DEN2, DEN3, and DEN4

    Infection is defined as recovery of vaccine virus from the blood or serum of a participant and/or by seropositivity to DEN virus (PRNT50 greater than or equal to 1:10).

    • Seropositivity will be defined as: PRNT50 to DEN1, DEN2, DEN3, DEN4 greater than or equal to 1:10 by Day 90 post-each vaccination

    Measured: Measured through Day 540

  3. Duration of the antibody response in recipients of the tetravalent vaccine

    The PRNT50 to DEN1, DEN2, DEN3, and DEN4 will be determined for all specimens collected at Day 180 post-each vaccination.

    Measured: Measured through Day 540

  4. Greater than or equal to 4-fold rise in serum neutralizing antibody titer by Day 450 compared with Day 360

    Measured: Measured at Day 450

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TV003 Vaccine in people with Dengue, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 2 sites 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 8 inclusion and 49 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 14 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 2 sites 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 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?

Frequency of vaccine-related adverse events (AEs), graded by severity (time frame: Measured through Day 540). 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 NCT01782300, 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 14 Jun 2017.
