About this study

Official title: Phase II, Randomized, Double-blind, Clinical Tial of the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Tetravalent Dengue Virus Vaccine Admixture TV005 in the Elderly Aged 50-70 Years in Taiwan

Phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the safety and immunogenicity of the recombinant live attenuated tetravalent dengue virus vaccine admixture TV005 in the elderly in Taiwan

Read the detailed description

In Taiwan, people who aged 50 to 70 years accounted for over 40% among those who infected by dengue virus every year. Therefore, to understanding the immunogenicity and safety of TV005 vaccine among people aged 50 to 70 years is important for whether TV005 can be introduced into Taiwan as a major intervention to control dengue. This trial is a phase II, double-blind, multicenter, and placebo-controlled one. The investigators plan to enroll 252 subjects whose age are 50 to 70 years at four study sites. One single-dose TV005 vaccine or placebo will be given subcutaneously. After vaccination, detailed data of the subjective symptoms, physical examination, laboratory examination, and titer of neutralization antibody from all subjects will be recorded. After completion of the present trial, the investigators can clarify the immunogenicity and safety of TV005 among people aged 50 to 70 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Tetravalent live attenuated dengue vaccine admixture TV005 in people with Dengue, run by National Taiwan University Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

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 7 inclusion and 15 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 18 Jan 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 Taiwan. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Proportion of study participants with solicited local and general adverse events. (time frame: Measured through Day 21). The study lists 4 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 18 Jan 2023.
