A Study of Two Doses of WRAIR Dengue Vaccine Administered Six Months Apart to Healthy Adults and Children

Dengue Fever Clinical Trial

Official title: Phase II, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study of Two Doses of WRAIR Live Attenuated Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine Formulations, Administered Six Months Apart, to Healthy Adults and Children

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of two different formulations of an investigational dengue vaccine (T-DEN) against a placebo vaccine when two doses are given six months apart to adults and children.

Clinical Trial Description

In this study, children and adults at multiple sites in Puerto Rico will be randomly allocated to receive one of two T-DEN formulations or placebo. Subjects will be stratified by age group (a specific number of subjects in each of 4 age groups [12 months to 50 years of age] will be enrolled). The study includes 6 scheduled visits and 4 scheduled venipunctures. Safety follow-up for dengue may require unscheduled visits and venipunctures.

> Multiple DEN virus serotypes are endemic in Puerto Rico and all residents are considered to be at risk for dengue. The results of this phase II study will provide a basis for identifying the vaccine formulations which elicit neutralizing antibodies to all four dengue virus serotypes in a high proportion of vaccine recipients. The most immunogenic and well tolerated candidate formulation identified in this study will be considered for advancement to phase III development.
