What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Japanese Encephalitis Seroconversion Following ChimeriVax™-JE or STAMARIL® Alone or the Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL®, or Placebo Vaccination.

    Neutralising antibody titer against homologous Japanese encephalitis (JE), yellow fever (YF), and other relevant wild type JE strains were determined using a 50% serum dilution plaque reduction neutralisation test. Seroconversion post-vaccination was defined as the appearance of neutralising antibody titer when not present at Day 0, or at least a four-fold rise in neutralising antibody titer between the pre-vaccination (Day 0) and the post-vaccination samples.

    The 30 Days post-JE seroconversion is: Day 30 for Group 1 (ChimeriVax™-JE then STAMARIL®) and Group 3 (Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL, then Diluent); Day 60 for Group 2 (STAMARIL® then ChimeriVax™-JE) and Group 4 (Diluent then Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL).

    Measured: Pre-vaccination (Day 0 or 30) and post-vaccination (Day 30 or 60)

  2. Number of Participants With Yellow Fever Seroconversion Following ChimeriVax™-JE or STAMARIL® Alone or the Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL® or Placebo Vaccination.

    Neutralising antibody titer against yellow fever strains was determined using a 50% serum dilution plaque reduction neutralisation test. Seroconversion at a later post vaccination timepoint ws defined as the appearance of neutralising antibody titer when not present at Day 0, or at least a four-fold rise in neutralising antibody titre between the pre-injection Day 0 and later post vaccination samples.

    The Day 30 post-JE seroconversion is: Day 30 for Group 1 (ChimeriVax™-JE then STAMARIL®) and Group 3 (Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL, then Diluent); Day 60 for Group 2 (STAMARIL® then ChimeriVax™-JE) and Group 4 (Diluent then Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL).

    Measured: Pre-vaccination (Day 0 or 30) and post-vaccination (Day 30 or 60)

  3. Number of Participants Who Seroconverted to Japanese Encephalitis 30 Days Post ChimeriVax™-JE Vaccination

    Neutralising antibody titer against homologous JE, YF, and other relevant wild type JE strains was determined using a 50% serum dilution plaque reduction neutralisation test. Seroconversion at a later post vaccination timepoint was defined as the appearance of neutralising antibody titer when not present at Day 0, or at least a four-fold rise in neutralising antibody titer between the pre-injection Day 0 and post-vaccination samples.

    Measured: Day 0 (Pre-vaccination) through Day 30 post-vaccination

  4. Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events Post Vaccination With ChimeriVax™-JE or STAMARIL® Alone or the Co-Administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL®, or Placebo

    Solicited Local Adverse Events: Injection Site Pain, Erythema, Swelling, Hemorrhage, Venipuncture site Hemorrhage. Solicited Systemic Adverse Events: Fatigue, Malaise, Pyrexia, Chills, Headache, Dizziness, Myalgia, Abdominal Pain, Diarrhea, Nausea, Pharyngolaryngeal Pain.

    All solicited local reactions associated with ChimeriVax™-JE are presented in Group 1, those associated with STAMARIL® in Group 2, those associated with co-administered vaccines in Group 3, and those associated with diluent in Group 4. The solicited systemic adverse events are reported according to the participants' randomized study groups.

    Measured: Day 0 up to Day 60 post-vaccination

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) to Japanese Encephalitis (Homologous Virus) Following ChimeriVax™-JE or STAMARIL® Alone or the Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL®, or Placebo Vaccination.

    Neutralising antibody titer against homologous Japanese encephalitis (JE) and other relevant wild type JE strains was determined using a 50% serum dilution plaque reduction neutralisation test.

    Post-vaccination 15 (30) Days JE seroconversion is: Day 15 (30) for Group 1 (ChimeriVax™-JE then STAMARIL®) and Group 3 (Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL, then Diluent); Day 45 (60) for Group 2 (STAMARIL® then ChimeriVax™-JE) and Group 4 (Diluent then Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL)

    Measured: Day 0 through 6 months post-vaccination

  2. Geometric Mean Titers to Yellow Fever (Homologous Virus) Following ChimeriVax™-JE or STAMARIL® Alone or the Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL®, or Placebo

    Neutralising antibody titer against homologous yellow fever was determined using a 50% serum dilution plaque reduction neutralisation test.

    Post vaccination 15 (30) Days Yellow Fever seroconversion is: Day 15 (30) for Group 1 (ChimeriVax™-JE then STAMARIL®) and Group 3 (Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL, then Diluent); Day 45 (60) for Group 2 (STAMARIL® then ChimeriVax™-JE) and Group 4 (Diluent then Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL).

    Measured: Day 0 through 6 months post-vaccination

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 13 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 20 Sep 2012. 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 Australia. 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 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 20 Sep 2012). 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?

Number of Participants With Japanese Encephalitis Seroconversion Following ChimeriVax™-JE or STAMARIL® Alone or the Co-administration of ChimeriVax™-JE and STAMARIL®, or Placebo Vaccination. (time frame: Pre-vaccination (Day 0 or 30) and post-vaccination (Day 30 or 60)). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00982137, 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.
