E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
1. To compare the dengue virus-neutralizing antibody geometric mean titers (GMTs) for each of the 4 dengue serotypes at Day 28 postvaccination for participants administered the V181 Low Potency Level versus V181 Mid Potency Level 2. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 different V181 potency levels with respect to the proportion of participants experiencing serious adverse events (SAEs) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of 3 different V181 potency levels with respect to the proportion of participants experiencing solicited adverse events (AEs) |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Is healthy based on review of medical history and physical examination, according to the clinical judgement of the investigator. 2. Is male or female, from 18 years to 50 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent. 3. Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following for at least 90 days after administration of study intervention: • Abstain from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent OR • Must agree to use contraception unless confirmed to be azoospermic (vasectomized or secondary to medical cause) as detailed below: - Agree to use a male condom plus partner use of an additional contraceptive method when having penile-vaginal intercourse with a WOCBP who is not currently pregnant. • Contraceptive use by men should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. 4. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: • Is not a WOCBP OR • Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis), for at least 90 days after administration of study intervention. The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (ie, noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study intervention. • A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulations) before the first dose of study intervention. • If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive. • The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy. • Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. 5. The participant (or legally acceptable representative) has provided documented informed consent for the study. The participant may also provide consent for Future Biomedical Research. However, the participant may participate in the main study without participating in Future Biomedical Research |

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Has known history of dengue or zika natural infection. 2. * Has an acute febrile illness (temperature ≥38.0°C [≥100.4°F] oral or equivalent) occurring within 72 hours before receipt of study vaccine/placebo. 3. Has a serious or progressive disease according to the investigator, including but not limited to cancer; uncontrolled diabetes; severe cardiac, renal, or hepatic insufficiency; or systemic autoimmune or neurologic disorder. 4. Has known or suspected impairment of immunological function, including but not limited to congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, HIV infection, hematologic malignancy, or treatment for autoimmune diseases. 5. Has a condition in which repeated venipuncture or injections pose more than minimal risk for the participant, such as hemophilia, thrombocytopenia, other severe coagulation disorders, or significantly impaired venous access. 6. Has a known hypersensitivity to any component of the study vaccine/placebo, or history of severe allergic reaction (eg, swelling of the mouth and throat, difficulty breathing, hypotension or shock) that required medical intervention. 7. Has received a dose of any dengue vaccine (investigational or approved) before study entry, or plans to receive any dengue vaccine (investigational or approved) for the duration of the trial. 8. * Has received other licensed non-live vaccines within 14 days before receipt of study vaccine/placebo or is scheduled to receive any licensed non-live vaccine within 28 days following receipt of study vaccine/placebo. Exception: Inactivated influenza vaccine may be administered but must be given at least 7 days before receipt of study vaccine/placebo or at least 28 days after receipt of study vaccine/placebo. 9. * Has received a licensed live vaccine within 28 days before receipt of study vaccine/placebo or is scheduled to receive any live vaccine within 28 days after receipt of study vaccine/placebo. 10. Has received systemic corticosteroids (equivalent of ≥2 mg/kg/day of prednisone or ≥20 mg/d for persons weighing >10 kg) for ≥14 consecutive days and has not completed treatment at least 30 days before study entry or is expected to receive systemic corticosteroids at aforementioned dose and duration within 28 days after receipt of study vaccine/placebo. 11. Has received systemic corticosteroids exceeding physiologic replacement doses (approximately 5 mg/day prednisone equivalent) within 14 days before vaccination. 12. Has received immunosuppressive therapies, including chemotherapeutic agents used to treat cancer or other conditions, treatments associated with organ or bone marrow transplantation, or autoimmune disease, within 6 months before receipt of study vaccine/placebo or plans to receive immunosuppressive therapies within 28 days after receipt of study vaccine/placebo. 13. Has received a blood transfusion or blood products (including immunoglobulins) within 6 months before receipt of a study vaccine/placebo or plans to receive a blood transfusion or blood products (including immunoglobulins) within 28 days after receipt of study vaccine/placebo. 14. Has participated in another clinical study of an investigational product within 6 months before signing the informed consent, or plans to participate in another interventional clinical study at any time during the duration of the current clinical study. Participants enrolled in observational studies may be included; these will be reviewed on a case-bycase basis for approval by the Sponsor. 15. Has any other reason that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the evaluation required by the study. Reasons may include, but are not limited to, being unable to complete the eVRC, being unable to complete visits including non-office visit contacts (eg, telephone), or being unable to comply with study procedures. 16. Has planned donation of blood, eggs, or sperm at any time from signing the informed consent through 90 days postvaccination. 17. Is or has an immediate family member (eg, spouse, parent/legal guardian, sibling, or child) who is investigational site or Sponsor staff directly involved with this study.
If a participant meets any of the exclusion criteria marked with an asterisk (*), the Day 1 visit may be rescheduled for a time when these criteria are no longer met, as long as the study is still open to enrollment. |
