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 50 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • Adult male or female between 18 and 50 years of age, inclusive.
  • Good general health as determined by physical examination, laboratory screening, and review of medical history.
  • Available for the duration of the study, approximately 26 weeks post-vaccination.
  • Willingness and availability for potential inpatient admission in the inpatient unit following receipt of rDEN3Δ30.
  • Willingness to participate in the study as evidenced by signing the informed consent document.
  • Females Only: Female subjects of childbearing potential willing to use effective contraception beginning long enough before dosing to ensure method specific efficacy for the duration of the trial. Reliable methods of contraception include hormonal birth control, condoms with spermicide, diaphragm with spermicide, surgical sterilization, intrauterine device, and abstinence (greater than or equal to 6 months since last sexual encounter). All female subjects will be considered having childbearing potential except for those with hysterectomy, tubal ligation, tubal coil (at least 3 months prior to vaccination), or post-menopausal status documented as at least 1 year since last menstrual period.

Who cannot join

  • Females Only: Currently pregnant, as determined by positive beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test, or breastfeeding.
  • Evidence of clinically significant neurologic, cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, rheumatologic, autoimmune, or renal disease by history, physical examination, and/or laboratory studies.
  • Behavioral, cognitive, or psychiatric disease that in the opinion of the investigator affects the ability of the subject to understand and cooperate with the requirements of the study protocol.
  • Confirmed screening laboratory values of Grade 1 or above for absolute neutrophil count (ANC), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and serum creatinine, as defined in this protocol. Confirmation will be obtained by repeating the test to ensure the abnormal value was not due to aberrancy.
  • Any other condition that in the opinion of the investigator would jeopardize the safety or rights of a subject participating in the trial or would render the subject unable to comply with the protocol.
  • Any significant alcohol or drug abuse in the past 12 months that has caused medical, occupational or family problems, as indicated by subject history.

  • Receipt of a live vaccine within 28 days or a killed vaccine within the 14 days prior to vaccination or anticipated receipt of any vaccine during the 28 days following vaccination.
  • Asplenia.
  • Receipt of blood products within the past 6 months, including transfusions or immunoglobulin or anticipated receipt of any blood products or immunoglobulin during the 28 days following vaccination.

  • Subject has definite plans to travel to a dengue-endemic area during the study.
  • Known allergy to antipyretics.
  • Refusal to allow storage of specimens for future research.
  • Other Treatments and Ongoing Exclusion Criteria:
  • The following criteria will be reviewed on days 28 and 56 post-vaccination. If any become applicable during the study, then the subject will not be included in further immunogenicity evaluations, as of the exclusionary visit. The subject will, however, be encouraged to remain in the study for safety evaluations for the duration of the study.
  • Ongoing Exclusion Criteria:
  • Use of any investigational drug or investigational vaccine other than the study vaccine during the 28-day period post-vaccination.
  • Chronic administration (greater than or equal to 14 days) of steroids (defined as prednisone equivalent of greater than or equal to 10 mg per day), immunosuppressants, or other immune-modifying drugs initiated during the 28-day period post-vaccination (topical and nasal steroids are allowed).
  • Receipt of a licensed vaccine during the 28-day period post vaccination.
  • Receipt of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products during the 28-day period post vaccination.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Evaluation of the Safety and Immunogenicity of rDEN3Δ30, a Live Attenuated Monovalent Dengue Virus Vaccine

Infection with dengue viruses is the leading cause of hospitalization and death in children in many tropical Asian countries, and the development of a dengue vaccine is a top health priority. This study will evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a live attenuated monovalent dengue virus vaccine (rDEN3Δ30) in healthy adults with no history of previous flavivirus infection.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a live attenuated monovalent dengue virus vaccine (rDEN3Δ30) in healthy flavivirus-naive adults.

Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the rDEN3Δ30 vaccine or placebo at Day 0. Study visits will occur on Days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 21, 28, 56, 90, and 180. Visits will include physical examinations and blood collection. All participants will record their temperature 3 times a day from Day 0 through Day 16. Some participants may be admitted to the clinic for an inpatient (overnight) stay during the first 16 days of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing rDEN3∆30 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 6 inclusion and 31 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 30 Nov 2016. 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) (time frame: Measured through Day 28 post-vaccination). The study lists 2 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 30 Nov 2016.
