Clinical Trial Summary

This study used 3 different formulations of tetravalent CYD dengue vaccine.

The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the neutralizing antibody response after 2 doses of two different formulations of tetravalent dengue vaccine administered at Month 0 and Month 6.

The secondary objectives were:

• To evaluate the safety of the 3 formulations of tetravalent CYD dengue vaccine.

• To describe the neutralizing antibody responses to each of the 3 vaccine formulations.

• To describe vaccine viremia after the first and second dose of each of the 3 vaccine formulations in a subset of participants.

Description:

All participants provided blood samples for immunogenicity assessments, while vaccine viremia was assessed in a subset of participants in each group.

Safety was assessed in all participants as follows: solicited adverse event (AE) prelisted in the diary card were collected for 7 days after vaccination for solicited injection site reactions and 14 days for solicited systemic reactions , unsolicited AEs were collected for 28 days after vaccination, and serious adverse event (SAE) information collected throughout the study up to 6 months after vaccination.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Percentage of Participants With Antibody Titers of >= 10 1/Dilution (1/Dil) Against Each Dengue Virus Serotype Strain: CYD Vaccine 5555 and 5553 Formulation	Percentage of participants with antibody titers >= 10 (1/dil) against each serotypes (1, 2, 3 and 4) of the dengue virus strains was assessed by dengue plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT).	Pre-injection 1 (Day 0), 30 days post-injection 2 (Month 7)
Secondary	Percentage of Participants With Antibody Titers of >=10 1/Dil Against Each Dengue Virus Serotype Strain	Percentage of participants with antibody titers >= 10 1/dil against each serotypes (1, 2, 3 and 4) of the dengue virus strains was assessed by PRNT.
