Clinical Trial Summary

The main aims of the study are to learn about side effects and a participant's immune response to Takeda's Dengue Vaccine when given twice within 3 months.

Participants will receive 2 doses of their randomized treatment (vaccine or placebo). Children, teenagers and adults will receive one dose of either the vaccine or placebo on Day 1 and the second dose of either the vaccine or placebo 3 months later. Up to 4 blood samples will be taken throughout the study.

During the study, participants will visit their study clinic 6 times.

Description:

The vaccine being tested in this study is called TDV (Live, Attenuated). TDV is being tested to prevent dengue. This study will assess the safety and immunogenicity of TDV in healthy participants.

The study will enroll approximately 480 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to receive either TDV or placebo- which will remain undisclosed to the participant, and investigator during the study:

• Cohort 1, ≥18 to ≤60 Age Group: TDV

• Cohort 1, ≥18 to ≤60 Age Group: Placebo

• Cohort 2, ≥4 to <18 Age Group: TDV

• Cohort 2, ≥4 to <18 Age Group: Placebo

This multi-center trial will be conducted in India. The overall duration of the study is approximately 9 months.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants with Solicited Local (Injection Site) Adverse Events (AEs) by Severity Within 7 Days Post Vaccination at Day 1	Solicited local AEs at injection site are defined as injection site pain, injection site erythema, and injection site swelling. The AEs will be graded by investigator as Grade 0: none, Grade 1: mild, Grade 2: moderate and Grade 3: severe.	Within 7 days postvaccination at Day 1
Primary	Number of Participants with Solicited Local Injection Site AEs, by Severity Within 7 Days Post Vaccination at Day 90	Solicited local AEs at injection site are defined as injection site pain, injection site erythema, and injection site swelling. The AEs will be graded by investigator as Grade 0: none, Grade 1: mild, Grade 2: moderate and Grade 3: severe.	Within 7 days postvaccination at Day 90
Primary	Number of Participants with Solicited Systemic AEs by Severity Within 14 Days Post Vaccination at Day 1	An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. Solicited systemic AEs assessments for children <6 years old include: drowsiness, irritability/fussiness, loss of appetite and fever, and those for children = 6 years old/adolescent/adult include: headache, asthenia, malaise, myalgia and fever. The AEs will be graded by investigator as Grade 0: none, Grade 1: mild, Grade 2: moderate and Grade 3: severe.	Within 14 days postvaccination at Day 1
Primary	Number of Participants with Solicited Systemic AEs, by Severity Within 14 Days Post Vaccination at Day 90	An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. Solicited systemic AEs assessments for children <6 years old include: drowsiness, irritability/fussiness, loss of appetite and fever, and those for children = 6 years old/adolescent/adult include: headache, asthenia, malaise, myalgia and fever.
