Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Number of Subjects With Frequency of Cluster of Differentiation 8 (CD8+) T Cells Expressing at Least One Cytokine to at Least 1, 2, 3 or All 4 Antigens
Time Frame: At Day 14
Among expressed cytokines were interleukin-2 (IL-2), tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interferon gamma (INF-γ), as determined by intracellular cytokine staining (ICS).
Number of Subjects With Solicited Local Symptoms
Time Frame: During the 7 Day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period
Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = pain that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 50 millimeters (mm) of injection site.
Number of Subjects With Solicited General Symptoms
Time Frame: During the 7 Day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period
Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, temperature \[defined as axillary temperature equal to or above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)\], gastrointestinal symptoms \[nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and/or abdominal pain\] and headache. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever \> 39.0 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.
Number of Subjects With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame: During the 32 Day (Days 2-29) post-chloroquine administration and during the 30 Day (Days 0-29) post-vaccine administration period
An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset out-side the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 AE = an AE which prevented normal, everyday activities. Related = AE assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.
Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: During the entire study period (from Day 0 up to Day 360)
Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.
Number of Subjects With AEs of Specific Interest and Immune-Mediated Disorders (IMDs)
Time Frame: During the entire study period (from Day 0 up to Day 360)
Adverse events of specific interest include auto-immune diseases (AID) and immune mediated disorders such as neurological/demyelinating events, rheumatic and connective diseases, autoimmune endocrine diseases, inflammatory bowel diseases, autoimmune blood disorders, inflammatory skin disorders, other autoimmune/inflammatory events.
Levels of Haematological and Biochemical Parameters
Time Frame: At Day 180
Among haematological and biochemical parameters determined were alanine aminotransferase \[ALT\], aspartate aminotransferase \[ASA\], basophils \[BASO\], creatinine \[CREA\], eosinophils \[EOS\], haematocrit \[HAEM\], haemoglobin \[HAEMO\], lymphocytes \[LYMPH\], monocytes \[MONO\], neutrophils \[NEU\], platelets \[PLA\], red blood cells \[RBC\], urea \[UR\] and white blood cells \[WBC\]. Levels of haematological/biochemical parameters assessed in relation to normal laboratory values were - unknown, below, within and above.
