Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To describe the immune response induced by FSME-IMMUN/TicoVac or Encepur against two virus strains Neudorfl (Nd) used to manufacture FSME/IMMUN/TicoVac and mutated Karsruhe (mK23) (one homologous strain and one heterologous strain to each vaccine), as measured by NT using an established hybrid virus assay platform.;Secondary Objective: To describe the immune response induced by FSME-IMMUN/TicoVac or Encepur against the vaccine virus strains (Neudorfl (Nd) used to manufacture FSME/IMMUN/TicoVac and the mutated Karsruhe strain (mK23) used to manufacture Encepur), as measured by ELISA (IMMUNOZYM and ENZYGNOST).;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint for the primary objective is the %composite response of neutralizing titers against both homologous and heterologous antigens to the vaccines at each visit. The composite response is defined as a subject with NT==10 for both Nd and mK23.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of Trial | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): The secondary endpoint for the primary objective will include: • % of subjects with NT =10 for Nd; • % of subjects with NT >10 for mK23; • % of subjects with NT >20 for Nd, mK23, and for both Nd and mK23; • GMT for Nd; • GMT for mK23. The secondary endpoint for the primary objective will include: • %of subjects with ELISA >126 for Nd • %of subjects with ELISA >126 for mK23 • GMC for Nd • GMC for mK23 ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of Trial | — |
