Active (prophylactic) immunization against TBE The main purpose of this study is to assess the seropersistence of TBE virus antibodies in children, adolescents and young adults who received the first booster vaccination with either FSME-IMMUN 0.25 ml Junior or FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml in Study 700401. MedDRA version: 18.0 Level: PT Classification code 10043847 Term: Tick-borne viral encephalitis System Organ Class: 10021881 - Infections and infestations

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The main purpose of this study is to assess the seropersistence at yearly intervals from approximately 3 years (38 months) to 10 years (118 months) after the first booster vaccination (as applicable) with either FSME-IMMUN 0.25 ml Junior or FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml by means of neutralization test (NT) (according to Adner et ak., 2001) and ELISA (IMMUNOZYM FSME Immunoglobulin G [IgG].;Secondary Objective: To assess the antibody response to a second booster vaccination with either FSME-IMMUN 0.25 ml Junior or FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml administered in the present study, by means of ELISA and NT. To assess the safety of FSME-IMMUN 0.25 ml Junior or FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml after administration of the second booster vaccination in the present study. ;Primary end point(s): Immunogenicity: Seropositivity rate as determined by NT at each blood draw after the first booster vaccination administered in Study 700401 and after the second booster vaccination administered in this study;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of trial | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Seropositivity rate as determined by ELISA at each blood draw after the first booster vaccination in Study 700401 and after the second booster vaccination in this study; Antibody response as determined by ELISA at each blood draw after the first booster vaccination in Study 700401 and after the second booster vaccination in this study; Antibody response as determined by NT at each blood draw after the first booster vaccination in Study 700401 and after the second booster vaccination in this study; Fold increase of antibody concentration determined by ELISA after the second booster vaccination as compared to before the second booster vaccination in this study; Fold increase of antibody titer determined by NT after the second booster vaccination as compared to before the second booster vaccination in this study.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Blood draws will be performed to assess the seropersistence of TBE virus antibodies at yearly intervals from approximately 3 years (38 months) to 10 years (118 months) after the first booster vaccination previously administered during Study 700401.A blood draw will be performed approximately 21 - 35 days after vaccination to assess the booster response. | — |
