Brief Summary

Dengue fever, caused by dengue viruses, is a major health problem in the 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

  • Compare the immunogenicity of the two 2-dose regimens of the rDEN2/4Δ30(ME) candidate vaccine as assessed by neutralizing antibody titers to DEN2

    At 4 and 6 weeks after each vaccination

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Assess the frequency, quantity, and duration of viremia after each dose of vaccine.

    Throughout study

  • Determine the number of vaccinees infected with rDEN2/4Δ30(ME)

    Throughout study

  • Comparison of infectivity rates, safety, and immunogenicity between dose 1 and dose 2 withhin cohort and between cohorts

    Throughout study

  • Evaluation of the phenotype and activation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells at primary infection and upon reinfection with the DEN2/4Δ30(ME) vaccine.

Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Good general health as determined by means of the screening procedures.
  • Available for the duration of the study (32 weeks for cohort 1 and 23 weeks for cohort 2)

You may not qualify if:

  • Evidence of clinically significant neurologic, cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, rheumatologic, autoimmune, or renal disease by history, physical examination, and/or laboratory studies
  • Behavioral, cognitive, or psychiatric disease that in the opinion of the investigator will affect the ability of the volunteer to understand and cooperate with the requirements of the study protocol
  • Neutropenia as defined by an ANC ≤1500/mm3
  • ALT level above the laboratory-defined upper limit of normal
  • Serum creatinine level above the laboratory-defined upper limit of normal
  • Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would jeopardize the safety or rights of a volunteer participating in the trial or would render the subject unable to comply with the protocol.
  • Medical, occupational, or family problems as a result of alcohol or illicit drug use during the past 12 months
  • History of a severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis
  • Severe asthma (emergency room visit or hospitalization within the last 6 months)
  • Positive HIV-1 serology by screening and confirmatory assays
  • Positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) by screening and confirmatory assays
  • Positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
  • Known immunodeficiency syndrome
  • Use of corticosteroids (excluding topical or nasal) or immunosuppressive drugs within 30 days of starting this study
  • Receipt of a live vaccine within the 4 weeks or a killed vaccine within the 2 weeks prior to entry into the study
  • +6 more criteria
