Official Title: A Phase I/II Trial of a Tetravalent Live Attenuated Dengue Vaccine in Flavivirus Antibody Naïve Children

Further study details as provided by Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR):

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To assess the reactogenicity in terms of solicited symptoms within the 21-day follow-up period after dose 1 of the dengue vaccine

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To assess the safety and reactogenicity of two doses of the dengue vaccine
  • To assess the immunogenicity of the dengue vaccine by seroconversion 30 days post-dose 2 of dengue vaccine
  • To assess the immunogenicity of the dengue vaccine by measurement of neutralizing antibodies to each dengue virus serotype 30 days after each dose of dengue vaccine
  • To assess the immunogenicity of the JE vaccine by measurement of neutralizing antibodies 30 days after dose 2 of JE vaccine
  • To assess the safety and reactogenicity after each dose of JE vaccine given 1 and 1.5 months after completion of the dengue vaccination course.

Estimated Enrollment: 10
Study Start Date: July 2003
Estimated Study Completion Date: May 2004
Detailed Description:

This study was a Phase I/II, open-label trial with one treatment group; 7, healthy, flavivirus naïve children between the ages of 6 and 7 years residing in Bangkok, Thailand. Seronegative status was determined by measuring neutralizing (N) antibody titers to dengue 1-4 and JE virus (JE) using HAI (1st) and PRNT (2nd) assays. Titers <10 and <10, respectively, were considered negative. Enrolled children received two doses of tetravalent dengue vaccine at study months 0 and 6, and two doses of JE vaccine (study benefit) at study months 7 and 7.5. Enrolled children attended 20 study visits, received 4 injections, and 7 venipunctures (one additional blood sample for screening). In the acute period (1 month) following vaccination, safety was assessed using symptom diary cards and clinical and laboratory evaluations. Viremia was measured 10 days post dengue vaccination. Solicited and unsolicited adverse events were assessed for 30 days following each dengue vaccination. Serious adverse events were assessed throughout the study period. In the case of illness, investigators would complete additional clinical and virologic evaluations. Dengue vaccine immunogenicity was assessed 30 days following each dengue vaccination using the PRNT50 assay. The According to Protocol (ATP) cohort was determined by evaluating the occurrence of intermittent natural dengue infection using ELISA IgM/IgG titer ratios. A long-term follow-up of dengue vaccine recipients is described in a separate protocol (Dengue-005 protocol).

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   6 Years to 10 Years
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   Yes
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • A male or female child six to nine years of age (≥ 6 years of age and <10 years of age) at the time of the first vaccination.
  • Free of obvious health problems as established by medical history and physical examination before entering into the study.
  • Seronegative for HAI and neutralizing antibodies to dengue types 1-4 and Japanese encephalitis virus
  • Written informed consents by the parent of the subject for screening and enrollment into the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Chronic administration (defined as more than 14 days) of immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months prior to the first vaccine dose or planned administration during the study (For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone, or equivalent,  0.5 mg/kg/day. Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed.)
  • Use of any investigational or non-registered drug or vaccine other than the protocol-specified vaccines within 30 days preceding the administration of the first dengue vaccine dose or planned use during the study period.
  • Planned administration / administration of a vaccine not foreseen by the study protocol and within 30 days prior or after any dengue/JE vaccine administration.
  • Any current medical condition determined to be serious by the investigator (e.g. seizures)
  • History of chronic headaches or a first order family member (parent or sibling) with a history of chronic headaches
  • Abnormal clinical laboratory screening test result (based on normal values set by the laboratory) that is deemed clinically significant by the investigator or Medical Monitor (including seropositivity for HBsAg or anti-HCV)
  • Previous vaccination against yellow fever virus, JEV, or tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBE) or existence of any flavivirus antibody
  • Any suspected or confirmed immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
  • Family history of a congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency
  • Acute illness at time of enrollment (defined as the presence of a moderate or severe illness with or without fever). All vaccines can be administered to persons with a minor illness such as diarrhea or mild upper respiratory infection without fever, i.e., oral temperature <37.5°C.
  • Administration of immunoglobulins and/or blood products within 6 months prior to study entry or planned administration during the study period
  • History of allergic disease or reactions likely to be exacerbated by any component of the vaccines (including neomycin, streptomycin, gentamicin, amikacin, tobramycin, kanamycin and bacitracin; allergy to dogs or monkeys or hypersensitivity to proteins of rodent or neural origin or to thimerosal, allergy to porcine gelatin)
  • Child whose parent has no easy access to a fixed or mobile telephone
  • Plans to move from Bangkok during the first 8.5 months after initial vaccination
  • Parental illiteracy.
