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 Manufactured in a New Good Manufacturing Practices Facility and Non-inferiority With Respect to an Earlier Product.

The proposed Japanese Encephalitis (JE)Vaccine 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 JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine manufactured in a new 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 will enroll a total of 1,000 Bangladeshi infants aged 10 to 12 months. In addition to providing immunogenicity data, JEV05 will provide local safety data of JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine among Bangladeshi children. This will be 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.

Read the detailed description

Vaccination is the most effective intervention to prevent JE and its associated morbidity and mortality (http://www.who.int.nuvi/Je/en). JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine has been used in Asia for more than two decades in over 400 million children. Chengdu Institute of Biological Products (CDIBP), a Chinese manufacturer, has been producing JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine since 1988. It has been demonstrated to be both safe and immunogenic in several observational and case-control studies providing protection for at least 5 years following a single dose. JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine is licensed for use in China, India, Nepal, South Korea, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Countries that have introduced JE vaccine into their national immunization programs have experienced dramatic reductions in JE incidence, leading WHO to declare vaccination the preferred JE control strategy.4

In order for JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine to be available for purchase through UNICEF and GAVI for broader international use, including in Bangladesh, JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine needs to undergo WHO prequalification. With technical support from PATH, CDIBP has established a new GMP facility, Building 208 JE production unit, maintaining WHO standards. A GMP Certificate for the new facility was issued on 11/16/2011. This certificate provides market authorization to distribute the new vaccine in China. To achieve WHO prequalification, JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine produced in this new GMP facility needs to be shown to be similarly safe and immunogenic to JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine produced in the existing facility, the JE viral vaccine production plant, and needs to demonstrate lot-to-lot consistency.

The proposed JEV05 study is a four-arm double-blind randomized controlled single center trial testing the immunogenicity of four lots of JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine - three lots manufactured in the new GMP facility and one lot from the existing facility - in a total of 1000 Bangladeshi infants aged 10 to 12 months. The study will be conducted in the Matlab Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) intervention area, a rural site where many vaccine trials have been conducted.

A 5 ml blood sample will be collected from each child before vaccination and at 28 days post-vaccination. The sera will be tested using a plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) with JE neutralizing antibody titers > 1:10 considered seroprotective. The JEV05 trial will provide immunogenicity data on the three vaccine lots produced in the new GMP facility compared to a vaccine lot produced in the prior existing plant. It will also provide local immunogenicity and safety data of JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine among Bangladeshi children. This will be 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. Immunogenicity of different lots of vaccines

    JE immunogenicity will be parameterized as the percentage of children with demonstrated seroprotection (defined as a serum antibody titer of ≥ 1:10 as measured by PRNT) at 28 days post-immunization with JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine.

    Measured: 8 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing JE Vaccine existing facility, JE vaccine new plant lot 1 and JE vaccine new plant lot 2 in people with Healthy Infants, run by International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh 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 29 Nov 2016. 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?

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?

Immunogenicity of different lots of vaccines (time frame: 8 months). 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 NCT01635816, 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 29 Nov 2016.
