NCT00089908

Brief Summary

Dengue fever, which is caused by dengue viruses, is a major health problem in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The purpose of this study is to test the safety of and immune response to a new dengue virus vaccine in healthy adults.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Determine the frequency of vaccine related AEs for each dose graded by severity

    Throughout study

  • Determine the amount of dengue 1 neutralizing antibody induced by the vaccine

    At Day 42

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • To assess the durability of the antibody response

    At Day 180

  • To assess the frequency, quantity, and duration of viremia in each dose cohort studied

    Throughout study

  • To compare the T cell mediated immune response against dengue viruses of those volunteers infected with the rDEN1delta30 vaccine virus with that of uninfected volunteers and placebo recipients

    Throughout study

  • If both doses of vaccine are administered, to compare the infectivity rates, safety, and immunogenicity between dose groups

    At study completion

  • To evaluate the immunopathological mechanism of vaccine-associated rash in those volunteers who are willing to undergo skin biopsy

    Throughout study

Study Arms (3)

1

EXPERIMENTAL

One subcutaneous vaccination with rDEN1delta30 vaccine (10\^3 PFU dose) into the deltoid region of either arm.

Biological: rDEN1delta30

2

EXPERIMENTAL

One subcutaneous vaccination with rDEN1delta30 vaccine (10\^5 PFU dose) into the deltoid region of either arm. This arm may enroll after Arm 1 depending on the effect of the vaccine on subjects in Arm 1.

Biological: rDEN1delta30

3

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

One subcutaneous vaccination with placebo into the deltoid region of either arm.

Biological: Placebo
