About this study

The main target populations for the tetravalent live attenuated dengue virus vaccine are indigenous populations, especially infants less than 2 years old, residing in areas of the world endemic for dengue and at risk of developing dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The presence of maternal dengue antibody during the first year of life makes it unlikely that a vaccine given during that time will have long-term efficacy, as the vaccine virus would likely be neutralized prior to necessary replication. Children older than 18 months may have preexisting flavivirus antibody. Therefore, vaccination of infants living in Thailand early in the second year of life (between the ages of 12 and 18 months) seems most beneficial. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a two-dose schedule of a tetravalent live attenuated dengue vaccine in flavivirus antibody naïve infants beginning at 12-15 months of age.

  • To assess the kinetics of dengue neutralizing antibodies to each dengue virus serotype one and four years following dose 2 of dengue/control vaccination in the setting of potential wild-type dengue virus exposure.
  • To assess the immunogenicity, the safety and reactogenicity of a booster dose of dengue vaccine administered at Year 3 following primary vaccination.
Read the detailed description
  • This is a Phase I/II, randomized, observer-blind, controlled trial. Thirty-four flavivirus naïve infants will be randomized to the vaccine group and 17 infants to the control group.
  • Infants receive dengue vaccine at study months 0 and 6 or control vaccine (Varicella vaccine at study month 0 and Haemophilus influenzae Type b Conjugate vaccine at study month 6). Both are licensed for use in Thailand.
  • All infants subsequently receive an inactivated JE vaccine approximately one and 1.5 months following dengue vaccine dose 2.
  • Infants are monitored daily for 21 days following each dengue or control vaccination and 7 days after each JE vaccination for solicited adverse events. Unsolicited events will be recorded up to 31 days (days 0-30) after dengue/control vaccinations and each day after dose 1 of JE vaccine until the concluding study visit.
  • Study duration (excluding screening) is approximately 8.5 months for each subject.
  • Each enrollee is followed a four year period following dose 2 of dengue/control vaccination to assess for dengue-related hospitalizations and dengue antibody kinetics.
  • Investigators will administer a 3rd dose of tetravalent dengue vaccine to all subjects who received 2 doses of dengue vaccine (0 and 6 months) during the primary phase of the study. The 3rd dose will be administered 3 years following the primary vaccination series. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and sera will be collected at the time of dose 3, and twice again at one month and one year following dose 3 from dengue group subjects.

Investigators will address the following questions:

  1. Is a 3rd dose of live virus tetravalent dengue vaccine safe in Thai toddlers/children?
  2. Is a 3rd dose of live virus tetravalent dengue vaccine required in toddlers/children to induce optimal immune (neutralizing antibody, cellular mediated immunity) responses?
  3. Is there evidence of T and B cell memory following a primary dengue vaccination series (dose 1 and 2)?
  4. How does a 3rd dose of live virus tetravalent dengue vaccine impact B and T cell memory?

  • Tetravalent live attenuated dengue vaccineBiological

    DEN candidate vaccine: One dose of the tetravalent, live attenuated DEN vaccine candidate, F17, contains dengue serotype 1, 2, 3 and 4 vaccines. This formulation contains 50 mcg/mL neomycin base, 5.5% lactose, and 1.9 g/dL human serum albumin; for subcutaneous injection.

    Infants received dengue vaccine at study months 0 and 6 or control vaccine (varicella vaccine at study month 0 and Haemophilus influenzae Type b Conjugate vaccine at study month 6). Both control vaccines are licensed for use in Thailand.

    All infants subsequently received an inactivated JE vaccine approximately one and 1.5 months following dengue vaccine dose 2. The licensed JE vaccine in liquid form, was dosed at 0.25 ml for subcutaneous injection.

    A booster dose of DEN vaccine was given to all subjects previously vaccinated with DEN vaccine in Dengue -001. The booster dose was administered approximately 42 months after dose 2 (at the Year 3 visit).

  • Varicella vaccine and Haemophilus influenzae Type b Conjugate vaccineBiological

    Infants received dengue vaccine at study months 0 and 6 or control vaccine (varicella vaccine at study month 0 and Haemophilus influenzae Type b Conjugate vaccine at study month 6). Both control vaccines are licensed for use in Thailand.

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 23 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 19 Jan 2018. 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 Thailand. 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 combined 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.

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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Jul 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Reactogenicity in Terms of Solicited Symptoms After Dose 1 of the Dengue Vaccine vs. Control Vaccine. (time frame: 21-day follow-up period after Dose 1). The study lists 5 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 NCT00322049, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Jan 2018.
