About this study

Official title: Characterisation of Cellular and Humoral Immune Responses Following the First Booster Immunisation With the Inactivated, Purified Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine IXIARO® in Elderly Compared to Young Individuals.

The aim of this study is to investigate the immune responses following a booster immunisation with the Japanese Encephalitis vaccine in elderly subjects (above 60 years of age) in comparison to a young study group.

Read the detailed description

The condition under investigation is the naturally aging immune system. The aim of this study is to investigate the immune responses following a booster immunisation with the Japanese Encephalitis vaccine in elderly subjects (above 60 years of age) in comparison to a young study group.Testing the difference of the JEV-antibody titre increase between young and elderly adults between visit 1 (before booster vaccination) and up to visit 4 (6 months after booster vaccination).

Testing cellular immunity (cytokine production after JEV as well as TBE stimulation) on visit 1, 2 (one week after booster immunisation) and 3 between both age groups.

Testing of surface markers of different T and B cell subsets before and after JE-booster vaccination (on visit 1-3) in comparison between both age groups.

Testing TBE-antibody titres before and after JE-booster vaccination (on visit 1-4) in both age groups.

Testing CMV serology at visit 1 in both age groups.

What is being measured

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

  1. JEV antibody titer increase/course between visit 1 (before the booster vaccination) and Visit 3

    Testing the difference of the JEV antibodies increase between young and elderly adults between Visit 1 (before booster vaccination) and Visit 3 (day 42+/-4 after Booster vaccination)

    Measured: Visit 3 day 42+/-4

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Testing the difference of the JEV antibody titer between young and elderly adults

    Testing the difference of the JEV antibody titer before the booster vaccination with IXIARO® (Visite 1, day 0) till Visit 4 (day 168 +/- 14) in comparison between the age groups

    Measured: Visit 1, day 0) till Visit 4 (day 168 +/- 14)

  2. Testing cellular immunity

    Testing cellular immunity (cytokine production of IL-2, IFN-g, TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-10, IL-21 after stimulation with JEV antigen) before the booster vaccination with IXIARO® (Visit 1, day 0), seven days (Visit 2, day 7 (+2) after and after 42 days (Visit 3, day 42 (+/-4)) after that in comparison between the age groups.

    Measured: Visit 1, day 0), seven days after booster vaccination (Visit 2, day 7 (+2).

  3. Testing of lymphocyte populations with FACS analysis

    Testing of lymphocyte populations via testing surface markers of different B and T cell subsets with FACS and bloodcount

    Measured: Visit 1, day 0), seven days after booster vaccination (Visit 2, day 7 (+2) and 42 days (Visit 3, day 42 (+/-4) after booster vaccination

  4. Testing of CMV serology

    Testing of CMV Seropositivity at the time of the booster vaccination with IXIARO® at Visit 1 (day 0) in both age groups

    Measured: Visit 1, day 0

  5. TBE titer increase/course

    Tick borne encephalitis titer before booster vaccination with IXIARO® (Visit 1, day 0), seven days after the booster vaccination (Visit 2, day 7 (+2),and 42 days (Visit 3, day 42 (+/-4) after the booster vaccination and 6 months (Visit 4, day 168 (+/- 14) after the booster vaccination and the in comparison between age groups.

    Measured: Visit 1, day 0), seven days (Visit 2, day 7 (+2), 42 days (Visit 3, day 42 (+/-4) und 6 Months (Visit 4, day 168 (+/- 14)

  6. Testing of cellular immunity-Testing of cytokine production

    Testing of cellular immunity (cytokine production of IL-2, TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-10 after stimulation mit TBE Antigen) before and seven days after the booster vaccination with IXIARO® (Visit 1, day 0; Visit 2, day 7 (+2) in comparison between the age groups

    Measured: Visit 1, day 0; Visit 2, day 7 (+2)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing IXIARO®- Japanese Encephalitis vaccine in people with Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine, run by Medical University of Vienna at 2 sites in Austria.

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 25 inclusion and 0 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 3 Jun 2019. 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 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 Studien Team (+43140160 ext. 38276, isptm-studien@meduniwien.ac.at), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

JEV antibody titer increase/course between visit 1 (before the booster vaccination) and Visit 3 (time frame: Visit 3 day 42+/-4). 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 3 Jun 2019.
