About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label Clinical Trial With Dengue-1-Virus Live Virus Human Challenge (DENV-1-LVHC) Assessment of Healthy U.S. Adults Previously Primed With Tetravalent Dengue Virus Purified Inactivated Vaccine (TDEN-PIV) and Boosted With Tetravalent Dengue Virus Live Attenuated Vaccine Formulation (TDEN LAV)

The purpose of this research study is to test the protection of volunteers previously vaccinated with Tetravalent Dengue Virus (TDEN) Purified Inactivated Vaccine (PIV) with alum and boosted with TDEN live attenuated vaccine (LAV) formulation against a weakened form of an experimental dengue virus challenge. The Investigators will also include people that have not received the study vaccine. The Investigators are collecting information about how the vaccine protects against a dengue virus challenge as well as adding to knowledge about the safety of the challenge.

The purpose of this research study is to test the protection of volunteers previously vaccinated with Tetravalent Dengue Virus (TDEN) Purified Inactivated Vaccine (PIV) with alum and boosted with TDEN live attenuated vaccine (LAV) formulation against a weakened form of an experimental dengue virus challenge. The Investigators will also include people that have not received the study vaccine. The Investigators are collecting information about how the vaccine protects against a dengue virus challenge as well as adding to knowledge about the safety of the challenge. The information will help Investigators develop vaccines to protect people from dengue. Participation is voluntary. The duration of participation will last for 180 days (six months). After participants are exposed to the weakened dengue virus, the Investigators will follow them closely to measure their symptoms. Like the flu, participants might expect to have a headache, rash, body aches, fever and chills or they may experience no symptoms whatsoever. If a participant does develops symptoms, the Investigators will monitor him/her closely in a local hotel or a wing of our hospital to ensure safety and to treat symptoms if they occur. Participants will be compensated for their time.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Dengue 1 Live Virus Human Challenge (DENV-1-LVHC) in people with Dengue, run by University of Maryland, Baltimore at 1 site in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 26 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 27 Feb 2025. 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 United States. 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 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.

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 27 Feb 2025). 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 Solicited Injection Site Adverse Events (time frame: Days 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7). The study lists 9 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 NCT04786457, 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 27 Feb 2025.
