E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
- To evaluate the long-term immunogenicity of CHIKV VLP (PXVX0317) vaccine in healthy adult and adolescent participants as measured by proportion of participants maintaining an anti-CHIKV serum neutralizing antibody (SNA) titer ≥100 (seroresponse rate, also considered the presumptive seroprotection rate) at yearly intervals up to 5 years postvaccination in feeder studies EBSI-CV-317-004 and EBSI-CV-317-005. - To assess the vaccine-induced SNA titers by a booster dose of CHIKV VLP (PXVX0317) vaccine at 3, 4, or 5 years post-initial vaccination in feeder studies EBSI-CV-317-004 and EBSI-CV-317-005. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CHIKV VLP vaccine in all participants. - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of a booster vaccination and compare with safety and tolerability reported post-initial vaccination of CHIKV VLP vaccine under feeder studies EBSI-CV-317-004 and EBSI-CV-317-005 in healthy adults and adolescents. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To evaluate the long-term immunogenicity of CHIKV VLP (PXVX0317) vaccine in healthy adult and adolescent participants as measured by anti-CHIKV SNA geometric mean titers (GMTs) at yearly intervals up to 5 years post-initial vaccination in feeder studies EBSI-CV-317-004 and EBSI-CV-317-005. - To evaluate the immune response to a booster vaccination and compare this response to that reported post-initial vaccination of CHIKV VLP (PXVX0317) under feeder studies EBSI-CV-317-004 and EBSI-CV-317-005 in healthy adults and adolescents.

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Participants must meet all the following criteria to be enrolled: 1. Only within the EBSI-CV-317-004 feeder study informed consent form (ICF) (and/or assent form, as applicable), the participant voluntarily signed and agreed to be contacted or did not indicate they were not to be contacted for potential screening and enrollment in a future study (ie, EBSI-CV-317-008). 2. Able and willing to provide informed consent (and assent, as applicable) voluntarily signed by participant (and guardian, as applicable) for participation in this rollover study EBSI-CV-317-008, including possible receipt of a booster dose of CHIKV VLP (PXVX0317) vaccine. 3. Males or females, 12 years of age or older at the time of enrollment in the feeder studies. 4. Received a single dose of CHIKV VLP (PXVX0317) vaccine in one of the feeder studies, EBSI-CV-317-004 or EBSI-CV-317-005. 5. Demonstrated compliance to the feeder study conduct (ie, rollover participant was without protocol deviations that excluded them from immunogenicity analysis in feeder study EBSI-CV-317-004 or EBSI-CV-317-005) without discontinuation or early withdrawal. 6. Generally healthy, in the opinion of the investigator, based on medical history and physical examination. Additional inclusion criteria to be assessed at Prerandomization Visit (Visit 5), before Randomization A (Visit 6), and before Randomization B (Visit 8 for Group 2 and Visit 10 for Group 3) to determine eligibility for a booster dose of CHIKV VLP (PXVX0317) vaccine or placebo: 7. Women who are either: i. Not of childbearing potential (CBP): premenarche, surgically sterile (at least six weeks postbilateral tubal ligation or bilateral total salpingectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or hysterectomy), or postmenopausal (defined as a history of ≥12 consecutive months without menses prior to randomization in the absence of other pathologic or physiologic causes, following cessation of exogenous sex-hormonal treatment). For women who are postmenopausal, documented follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level of ≥40 mIU/mL must be obtained. If the FSH is <40 mIU/mL, the participant must agree to use an acceptable form of contraception. or: ii. Meet all the below criteria: • Negative serum pregnancy test at Prerandomization and Prebooster Visits • Negative urine pregnancy test immediately prior to booster dose administration • Use one of these acceptable methods of contraception (if women of CBP) for at least 6 months after booster: • Hormonal contraceptives (eg, implants, pills, patches) initiated ≥30 days prior to booster dose administration • Intrauterine device (IUD) inserted ≥30 days prior to booster dose administration • Double barrier type of birth control (male condom with female diaphragm, male condom with cervical cap) • Abstinence is acceptable only for adolescents (12 to <18 years of age) who are not sexually active. Women participants of CBP must use an acceptable method of contraception from ≥30 days prior to Randomization A or assignment to Group 1; those who are randomized to Groups 2 or 3 at Year 3 can discontinue contraception until 30 days prior to booster dose administration, if desired. Women of CBP must use an acceptable method of contraception from ≥30 days prior to Randomization B through 6 months postbooster vaccination dose (if applicable). Note: Contraception requirements do not apply for participants in exclusively same-sex relationships and these participants should have no plans to become pregnant by any other means during the same time period as women of CBP are required to use contraception. Contraception requirements do not apply to Group 4 participants (unrandomized or unboosted).

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Participants who meet any of the following criteria cannot be enrolled: 1. Received placebo treatment in the feeder study. 2. Measurable anti-CHIKV SNA at Day 1 in the feeder study. 3. History of severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis to any component of the investigational product (IP). 4. Receipt of either an investigational or licensed CHIKV vaccine (excluding prior receipt of CHIKV VLP [PXVX0317] vaccine). 5. New onset/diagnosis of any disease falling within the feeder study exclusion criteria including: i. History of any known congenital or acquired immunodeficiency that could impact response to vaccination (eg, leukemia, lymphoma, generalized malignancy, functional or anatomic asplenia, alcoholic cirrhosis). ii. Clinically significant cardiac, pulmonary, rheumatologic, or other chronic disease, in the opinion of the investigator. This may include chronic illness requiring hospitalization during the feeder study. 6.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
- For all groups using the immunogenicity evaluable population (IEP), the proportion of participants maintaining a preboost anti-CHIKV SNA titer ≥100 (seroresponse rate, also considered the presumptive seroprotection rate) at yearly intervals up to 5 years post-initial vaccination in one of the feeder studies; only prebooster data will be summarized. - For IEP participants who receive a CHIKV VLP (PXVX0317) vaccine booster (Groups 1a, 2a, and 3a), proportion of participants with a boost response is defined as a composite of:
- ≥4-fold rise in anti-CHIKV SNA titer from prebooster to postbooster measured at 21 days after booster for participants with a prebooster titer ≥100.
OR
- Anti-CHIKV SNA titer ≥100 and ≥4-fold increase in anti-CHIKV SNA titer from prebooster to postbooster measured at 21 days after booster vaccination for participants with a prebooster titer <100.
Note: Prebooster is the last SNA sample prior to booster dose, ideally the sample on boost day prior to booster dose administration but can be the time point prior if the boost day sample is missed or incorrectly processed.
