E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Immunogenicity: STAGE1: •To demonstrate the non-inferiority (NI) of the immune response elicited against each dengue serotype by the CYD dengue vaccine given as a 2-dose schedule (Group2) compared to the immune response elicited by CYD dengue vaccine given as a 3-dose schedule (Group1), in subjects seropositive at baseline, 28 days post-final injection and 1 year after last injection, both in terms of Geometric Mean Ratio (GMR). STAGE2: •To demonstrate the NI of the immune response elicited against each dengue serotype, in subjects seropositive at baseline, 28 days after administration of a booster dose of CYD dengue vaccine, in terms of geometric mean of titer ratio(GMTR, within a group) or GMR(between groups): Booster Dose at 1Year •Post-Year 1 booster Group 1/post-Dose-3 Group 1 (GMTR) •Post-Year 1 booster Group 2/post-Dose 3 Group 1 (GMR) Booster Dose at 2Years •Post-Year 2 booster Group 1/post-Dose 3 Group 1 (GMTR) •Post-Year 2 booster Group 2/post-Dose 3 Group 1 (GMR) |

E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Immunogenicity: To describe the neutralizing Ab levels of each dengue serotype at 28D (STAGE1): -post-Inj 3 to the Ab levels immediately before receiving booster injection, by baseline serostatus in all 3grps -post-Inj 2 and 28D post-Inj3 from Grp1 in a primary series schedule by baseline serostatus To demonstrate the superiority of the immune response elicited: -by the dengue vaccine given as a 2dose schedule (Grp2) compared to that given as a 3dose schedule (Grp1) in subjects seropositive at baseline 28D post-final inj and 1Y post-final inj, both in terms of GMR (STAGE1) -against each dengue serotype in subjects seropositive at baseline 28D after administration of a booster dose of dengue vaccine in terms of GMTR or GMR(STAGE2) To describe the seroconversion rate 28D after booster injection in all 3groups Safety: To describe all hospitalized VCD cases that have occurred at any time during the trial To evaluate the safety profile of dengue vaccine after any injection |
