Phase 2
Conditions
Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis
Interventions
Biological: VEE C-84
Registration Number
NCT00582088
Lead Sponsor
U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command
Brief Summary

The study is designed to assess the safety and immunogenicity of Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis Vaccine, Inactivated, Dried, C-84, TSI GSD 205, as a booster vaccination.

Detailed Description

Study Objectives:

Primary:

To assess safety of Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis Vaccine, Inactivated, Dried, C-84, TSI GSD 205, as a booster vaccination as a single dose or a three-dose series, and To assess immunogenicity of Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis Vaccine, Inactivated, Dried, C-84, TSI GSD 205, as a booster vaccination as a single dose or a three-dose series

Secondary:

To assess incidence of VEE infection in C-84 boosted personnel.

Frequency of Adverse Events (ITT)Day 28 after each booster dose

Frequency of the following adverse events will be evaluated for all intent-to-treat subjects: headache, myalgia, fever, fatigue, sore throat, erythema, tenderness, and warmth.

Immunogenicity: TC-83 with PRNT80 ≥ 1:2012-15 months after booster dose

Number of initial responders to TC-83 with PRNT80 ≥ 1:20 after C-84 booster dose.

Immunogenicity: TC-83 with PRNT80 < 1:2012-15 months after vaccination

Number of initial responders to TC-83 who are non-responders (PRNT80 \< 1:20) to C-84 booster dose.

Immunogenicity: TC-83 with PRNT80 ≥ 1:20 after three booster dosesAfter three booster doses
Immunogenicity: TC-83 with PRNT80 ≥ 1:20 12- 15 months after first booster dose12- 15 months after first booster dose
Immunogenicity: PRNT80 ≥ 1:20 after 1 doseAfter 1 dose

Number of rollovers from past C-84 booster study with PRNT80

≥ 1:20 after 1 dose.

Immunogenicity: PRNT80 ≥ 1:20 12-15 months post dose for new C-84 Protocol.12-15 months post dose for new C-84 Protocol
