E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
The purpose of this study is to describe the neutralizing antibody response against each dengue serotype at 1 month post second dose of TDV or placebo in dengue-naive adolescent participants. |
|
E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
Dengue fever is caused by infection with dengue virus, a RNA virus that occurs as 4 recognized serotypes: DENV-1, -2, -3, or -4. These viruses are transmitted from human to human by mosquitoes. |

Individuals participating in any clinical trial with another investigational product 30 days prior to Day 1 (M0) or intent to participate in another clinical trial at any time during the conduct of this trial. 12. Individuals who received any other vaccine within 14 days (for inactivated vaccines) or 28 days (for live vaccines) prior to enrollment in this trial or who are planning to receive any vaccine within 28 days of trial vaccine administration. 13. Individuals involved in the trial conduct or their first degree relatives. 14. Individuals with history of substance or alcohol abuse within the past 2 years. 15. Female subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding. 16. Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active, and who have not used any of the acceptable contraceptive methods for at least 2 months prior to Day 1 (M0). a. Of childbearing potential is defined as status post onset of menarche and not meeting any of the following conditions: bilateral tubal ligation (at least 1 year previously), bilateral oophorectomy (at least 1 year previously) or hysterectomy. b. Acceptable birth control methods are defined as one or more of the following: i. Hormonal contraceptive (such as oral, injection, transdermal patch, implant, cervical ring). ii. Barrier method (condom with spermicide or diaphragm with spermicide) each and every time during intercourse. iii. Intrauterine device. iv. Monogamous relationship with vasectomized partner (partner must have been vasectomized for at least 6 months prior to Day 1 [M0]). Other contraceptive methods may be considered in agreement with the Sponsor and will be approved by the appropriate ethics committee. 17. Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active, and who refuse to use an acceptable contraceptive method up to 6 weeks after the last dose of trial vaccine (Day 90 [M3]). In addition, they must be advised not to donate ova during this period. 18. Any positive or indeterminate pregnancy test. 19. Previous and planned vaccination (during the trial conduct), against any flaviviruses including dengue, yellow fever (YF), Japanese encephalitis (JE) viruses or tick-borne encephalitis. 20. Previous participation in any clinical trial of a dengue or other flavivirus (eg, West Nile [WN] virus) candidate vaccine, except for subjects who received placebo in those trials. 21.
