Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the post-vaccination neutralizing antibody response against each dengue serotype by vaccine group.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The vaccine being tested in this study was Takeda's Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine Candidate (TDV). TDV is being tested to protect people against dengue fever. This study looked at safety and the titers of antibodies to dengue fever induced in people who were administered a high-dose of TDV (HD-TDV) compared to TDV.

The study enrolled 351 patients. Before being assigned to a treatment group participants were screened for previous exposure to the dengue virus using a Dengue immunoglobulin G (IgG) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Participants were randomly assigned in 1:1 ratio (by chance) to one of the two treatment groups-which remained undisclosed to the participant and study doctor during the study (unless there is an urgent medical need):

* HD-TDV 0.5 mL subcutaneous injection
* TDV 0.5 mL subcutaneous injection

All participants received a single injection on Day 1. Participants were asked to record any symptoms that may or may not be related to the vaccine or the injection site in a diary card for 28 days after vaccination.

This multi-center trial was conducted in Singapore. The overall time of participation in this study was 12 months. Participants made multiple visits to the clinic, including a final visit 1 year after receiving their dose of TDV.

High-dose Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine (HD-TDV)

High-dose Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine \[HD-TDV\], 0.5 mL, subcutaneous injection on Day 1. TDV comprised one molecularly-characterized and cloned TDV-2 live attenuated dengue virus strain and three recombinant live attenuated dengue virus strains: TDV-1, TDV-3 and TDV-4. TDV contained 2\*10\^4 plaque forming units (PFU), 5\*10\^4 PFU, 1\*10\^5 PFU, and 3\*10\^5 PFU of TDV-1, TDV-2, TDV-3 and TDV-4 respectively.

Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine (TDV)

Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine \[TDV\], 0.5 mL, subcutaneous injection on Day 1. TDV comprised one molecularly-characterized and cloned TDV-2 live attenuated dengue virus strain and three recombinant live attenuated dengue virus strains: TDV-1, TDV-3 and TDV-4. TDV contained 2\*10\^4 plaque forming units (PFU), 5\*10\^3 PFU, 1\*10\^5 PFU, and 3\*10\^5 PFU of TDV-1, TDV-2, TDV-3 and TDV-4 respectively.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Participant signs and dates a written informed consent form where applicable, and any required privacy authorization prior to the initiation of any trial procedures, after the nature of the trial has been explained according to local regulatory requirements.
2. Is aged 21 to 45 years of age, inclusive.
3. Is in good health at the time of entry into the trial as determined by medical history, physical examination (including vital signs) and clinical judgment of the Investigator.
4. Can comply with trial procedures and are available for the duration of follow-up.
5. Has self-declared as never having been vaccinated against Yellow Fever or Japanese Encephalitis Virus.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Has febrile illness (temperature ≥38°C or ≥100.4°F) or moderate or severe acute illness or infection at the time of enrollment.
2. Has history or any illness that, in the opinion of the Investigator, might interfere with the results of the trial or pose an additional risk to the participant due to participation in the trial, including but not limited to:

1. Known hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the vaccine components.
2. Female participants who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
3. Individuals with any serious chronic or progressive disease according to judgment of the Investigator (e.g. neoplasm, insulin-dependent diabetes, cardiac, renal or hepatic disease, neurologic or seizure disorder or Guillain-Barré syndrome).
4. Known or suspected impairment/alteration of immune function, including:

* i. Chronic use of oral steroids (equivalent to 20 mg/day prednisone ≥12 weeks/≥2 mg/kg body weight/day prednisone ≥2 weeks) within 60 days prior to Day 1 (Month 0) (use of inhaled, intranasal, or topical corticosteroids is allowed).
* ii. Receipt of parenteral steroids (equivalent to 20 mg/day prednisone ≥12 weeks/≥ 2 mg/kg body weight/day prednisone ≥2 weeks) within 60 days prior to Day 1 (Month 0).
* iii. Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products within the 3 months prior to Day 1 (Month 0) or planned administration during the trial.
* iv. Receipt of immunostimulants within 60 days prior to Day 1(Month 0).
* v. Immunosuppressive therapy such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy within 6 months prior to Day 1 (Month 0).
* vi. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and HIV-related diseases.
* vii. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
* viii. Genetic immunodeficiency.
