Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare Live Attenuated Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (IMOJEV™) with Japanese encephalitis live attenuated vaccine (SA14 14 2 vaccine [CD.JEVAX™]) after a single dose vaccination to support product registration.

Primary Objective:
  • To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response 28 days after administration of one dose of IMOJEV™ compared to the antibody response 28 days after administration of one dose of the CD.JEVAX™ control vaccine.
Secondary Objectives:
  • To describe the immune response to Japanese encephalitis (JE) in both vaccine groups using 50% plaque reduction neutralization assay (PRNT50) assays before and after a single dose of IMOJEV™ vaccine or a single dose of CD.JEVAX™ vaccine.

  • To describe the safety of vaccination in all subjects up to 28 days and all serious adverse events up to 6-month after vaccination.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: Live attenuated Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus vaccine
  • Biological: Japanese encephalitis live attenuated vaccine (SA14 14 2 vaccine)
Phase 3

Detailed Description

All participants will receive a single dose of their assigned vaccination at Visit 1 (Day 0) and undergo immunogenicity assessment at Day 28 post-vaccination. Safety will be assessed from day of vaccination and up to 6 months post-vaccination.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion to Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Following Vaccination With Either IMOJEV™ or CD.JEVAX™ Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine [Day 28 post-vaccination]

      Immunogenicity assessed using a Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus (JE-CV) 50% Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT50). Seroconversion was defined as the percentage of participants who developed neutralizing antibody titers above 10 (1/dil) when seronegative at baseline (<1/10) or who presented a ≥4-fold rise in their neutralizing antibody titers when seropositive (≥1/10) at baseline.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Geometric Mean Titers Against the Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Before And Following Vaccination With Either IMOJEV™ or CD.JEVAX™ Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine [Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination]

      Geometric mean titers were assessed using a Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus (JE-CV) 50% Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT50). JE-CV PRNT50 antibody titer >10 (1/dil, Day 0)

    2. Number of Participants With Seroprotection Against Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Before And Following Vaccination With Either IMOJEV™ or CD.JEVAX™ Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine [Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination]

      Immunogenicity was assessed using a Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus (JE-CV) PRNT50 assay. Seroprotection was defined as the percentage of participants with a titer ≥10 (1/dil) at pre-vaccination and at Day 28 post-vaccination.

    3. Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection Site and Systemic Reactions Following Vaccination With Either IMOJEV™ or CD.JEVAX™ Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine [Day 0 up to Day 14 post-vaccination]

      Solicited injection site: Pain, Erythema, and Swelling; Solicited systemic reactions: Fever (Temperature), Vomiting, Crying Abnormal, Drowsiness, Appetite Loss, and Irritability. Grade 3 injection site: Pain - Cries when injected limb is moved or the movement of injected limb is reduced; Erythema and Swelling longest diameter ≥50 mm. Grade 3 systemic reactions: Fever >39.5°C; Vomiting ≥6 episodes per 24 hours or requiring parenteral hydration; Crying Abnormal - >3 hours; Drowsiness - sleeping most of the time or difficult to wake; Appetite Loss - refuses ≥3 feeds or most feeds; Irritability - inconsolable.
