6-year Antibody Check After Third Vaccination Against Japanese Encephalitis

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Post Other Specified Vaccination Encephalitis
Interventions
Other: Blood draw
Registration Number
NCT02039440
Lead Sponsor
Medical University of Vienna
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether there are persisting antibodies against Japanese Encephalitis 6 years after the last vaccination with IXIARO(R) and to adapt or confirm mathematical models accordingly.

Detailed Description

Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is a potentially devastating mosquito-borne viral disease. The JE virus (JEV), a Flavivirus, is endemic to many regions in Asia, and while JE is primarily a pediatric disease in the endemic regions, travelers from non-endemic regions to Asia are usually naïve to the virus and may be at risk for contracting JE at any age.

The present study aims to investigate antibody titers at approximately 6 years after the third dose of JE vaccine (JE-VC), in a cohort of participants from an earlier booster dose trial, to strengthen the statistical model of the duration of protection after the booster.
