Trial summary

It concerns an investigation aiming to investigate genetic biological(s) marker(s) which allow to identify individuals who have risk of serious adverse events to the yellow fever vaccine. This testing is free of hypothesis, because these markers are still unknown. Read more about this study

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 9 months to 59 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Study population: This study will recruit cases of severe adverse event after yellow fever vaccine.

Who may be able to join

  • Evidence of a systemic reaction in two or more organs within one month of vaccination with yellow fever vaccine;
  • Laboratory evidence of yellow fever vaccine virus (at least one):
  • Positive culture for more than 7 days after vaccination; RT-PCR ≥ 3 log10 PFU/mL at any day after vaccination; Positive RT-PCR more than 14 days after vaccination; Presence of vaccine virus in tissue by culture, RT-PCR or immunohistochemistry.
  • Laboratory exclusion of relevant differential diagnosis such as leptospirosis, viral hepatitis and arboviruses.
  • Cases not obeying these strict criteria but that could be plausibly YEL-AVD or YEL-AND may be included, if approved by the investigator or co-investigators.

Who cannot join

  • Cases with adverse event after yellow fever vaccine not severe.

About this study

It concerns an investigation aiming to investigate genetic biological(s) marker(s) which allow to identify individuals who have risk of serious adverse events to the yellow fever vaccine. This testing is free of hypothesis, because these markers are still unknown. There is no intervention, and it is not possible to establish primary and secondary outcomes.

Read the detailed description

The rational for the immunological study by LATIM is the observation made by the group that individuals vaccinated with the 17DD yellow fever vaccine show significant alterations on the levels of expression of genes such as CLEC5A, IFNG, IL6, RNASEL, IRF7, IRF9, STAT2 e OAS1 (8). The study which will be conducted by the Rockefeller University will be focused in the qualitative analysis of the genome and exome of volunteers. The study in LATIM will be focused in the quantitative analysis of mRNA, which, together with the results of sequencing, may help in the search for biomarkers. As the expression of mRNA is restricted to the acute phase of the adverse event, it will be done only during the first 30 days after the beginning of the adverse event.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Drug-Related Side Effects and Adverse Reactions, run by The Immunobiological Technology Institute (Bio-Manguinhos) / Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz) at 1 site in Brazil.

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 5 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jun 2023. 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 Brazil. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Patricia MN de Oliveira, MD, PhD (552138827000, patricia.mouta@bio.fiocruz.br), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Genetic markers (time frame: Time frame: 5 years). 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 15 Jun 2023.
