E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
•History of clinical manifestation of any flavivirus infection •History of vaccination against JE (except IC51 administered in study IC51-309), Yellow fever, Dengue fever and West Nile virus •Use of any other investigational or non-registered drug (except the study vaccine) within 30 days prior to IC51 vaccination at Visit 1 and during the study period •Administration of any vaccine within 4 weeks prior to IC51 vaccination at Visit 1 •Administration of a vaccine (except the study vaccine) against a flaviviral infection, e.g. JE, tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), Yellow fever, Dengue fever or West Nile virus during the study •Immunodeficiency including post-organ-transplantation or immunosuppressive therapy •A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency •History of autoimmune disease •Administration of chronic (defined as more than 14 days) immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within 4 weeks prior to IC51 vaccination at Visit 1 and during the study. (For corticosteroids, this will mean prednisone, or equivalent, >=0.05 mg/kg/day. Topical and inhaled steroids are allowed.) •Any acute infections within 4 weeks prior to vaccination at Visit 1 •History of severe hypersensitivity reactions, in particular to a component of the IC51 vaccine (e.g. protamine sulfate), anaphylaxis or severe cases of atopy requiring emergency treatment or hospital admission •Infection with HIV (a negative test result within 30 days before screening is acceptable), HBV (Hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]) or HCV •History of urticaria after hymenoptera envenomation, drugs, physical or other provocations, or of idiopathic cause •Drug addiction within 6 months prior to enrollment (including alcohol dependence, i.e. more than approximately 60 g alcohol per day, or conditions which might interfere with the study conduct) •Inability or unwillingness to avoid more than the usual intake of alcohol during the 48 hours after vaccination •Diabetes mellitus in subjects receiving insulin therapy, severe cardiopulmonary disorders, or history of malignancy in the past 5 years •Pregnancy (positive pregnancy test during screening or at baseline), lactation or unreliable contraception in female subjects with child-bearing potential (for details, please refer to Section 6.4) •Subjects with any condition which in the opinion of the investigator makes the subject unsuitable for inclusion •Inability or unwillingness to provide informed consent and to abide by the requirements of the study •Persons who have been committed involuntarily to an institution, e.g. mental health facility or prison, will not participate in the study
