About this study

Official title: A Clinical Trial in Healthy Infants to Assess Lot-to-lot Consistency of Japanese Encephalitis Live Attenuated SA 14-14-2 Vaccine and Non-inferiority With Respect to an Earlier Product.

The proposed study is a four-arm double-blind randomized controlled single center trial to evaluate, by examining post-vaccination seroprotection titers, the lot-to-lot consistency of three lots of Japanese Encephalitis live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine (LJEVac) manufactured in a new good manufacture practice (GMP) facility, and to establish non-inferiority of the new vaccine in comparison to a single lot of the same vaccine manufactured in the existing facility. The study aimed to enroll a total of 1,000 Bangladeshi infants aged 10 to 12 months. In addition to providing immunogenicity data, this study provided local safety data of JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine among Bangladeshi children. This is the first step to secure licensure for this life-saving vaccine in Bangladesh as well as provide data to support WHO prequalification of JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number/Percentage of Subjects With Demonstrated Seroprotection

    Seroprotection was defined as a serum antibody titer equal to or greater than 1:10, as measured by Plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT). The end point for neutralization was the highest dilution of serum reducing the number of plaques by 50%, compared with a negative serum control.

    In 2004, a group of experts under the leadership of the WHO recommended that seroprotection (SP) against JEV be defined as a neutralizing anti-JEV antibody serum titer ≥1:10 as determined by PRNT [Hombach et al. 2005]. Accordingly, a titer of ≥1:10 was adopted as an indicator of seroprotection in this study.

    Measured: 28 days post-vaccination

  2. Geometric Mean Titers (GMT)

    Geometric Mean Titers of Neutralizing anti-JEV antibody

    Measured: 28 days post-vaccination

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Number/Percentage of Subjects With an Immediate Solicited Local or Systemic Reactogenicity Event (RE)

    Subjects were monitored for the following adverse events and categorized as events almost certainly related to receipt of the vaccine:

    Redness Swelling Tenderness Dyspnea Cyanosis Loose Stools Vomiting Convulsion Fever (37 degrees Celsius or greater, axillary) Hives (urticaria) Angioedema

    Measured: Within 30 minutes of vaccination

  2. Number/Percentage of Subjects With a Solicited Local or Systemic Reactogenicity Event Within 7 Days After Vaccination

    Collected by a home visit to observe the subject and interview his/her parent or guardian occurrence and severity of solicited injection site reactogenicity events (REs) related to vaccination and solicited systemic REs or other AEs that might or might not be related to the prior receipt of vaccine

    Measured: Within 7 days of vaccination

  3. Number/Percentage of Subjects With Other Adverse Events (AE) During the Study

    Adverse events other than solicited reactogenicities were obtained through review of medical history when subject returned to clinic. They were graded for severity and rated by the PI for possible relationship to vaccination throughout the 28 days study period.

    Measured: Between 7 and 28 days of vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Vaccine produced in existing facility and Vaccine produced in new facility in people with Japanese Encephalitis, run by PATH at 1 site in Bangladesh.

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 2 inclusion and 17 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 5 Dec 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 Bangladesh. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Nov 2018). 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/Percentage of Subjects With Demonstrated Seroprotection (time frame: 28 days post-vaccination). The study lists 2 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 5 Dec 2018.
