Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Safety: • To assess the safety and tolerability profile of VLA15, given in a three- or two dose primary immunization schedule (Month 0-2-6 or Month 0-6), in a healthy study population aged 5 to 65 years up to Day 208 (Month 7). Immunogenicity: • To assess the immune response to VLA15, given in a three- or two dose primary immunization schedule (Month 0-2-6 or Month 0-6), in a healthy study population aged 5 to 65 years at Day 208 (Month 7).;Secondary Objective: Safety: • To assess the safety and tolerability profile of VLA15, given in a three- or two dose primary immunization schedule (Month 0-2-6 or Month 0-6), in a healthy study population aged 5 to 65 years, up to one year after the last primary vaccination (Month 18). • To assess the safety and tolerability profile of VLA15 booster vaccinations (i.e., Booster 1 at Month 18, one year after completion of the primary vaccination schedule, Booster 2 at Month 30 and Booster 3 at Month 42) until study end. Immunogenicity: • To assess the immune response to VLA15, applied in a three- or two dose primary immunization schedule (Month 0-2-6 or Month 0-6), in a healthy study population aged 5 to 65 years, up to one year after the last primary vaccination (Month 18). • To assess the immune response of VLA15 booster vaccinations (i.e., Booster 1 at Month 18, one year after completion of the primary vaccination schedule, Booster 2 at Month 30 and Booster 3 at Month 42) until study end.;Primary end point(s): Safety: + Frequency of solicited local and solicited systemic AEs within 7 days after each and any vaccination of the primary vaccination series (Part A). Immunogenicity: + GMTs (Geometric Mean Titers) for IgG against each OspA serotype ST1 to ST6, determined by an IgG binding assay, at Day 208/Month 7 (Part A).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary endpoint was evaluated at Day 208 (which is one month after completion of primary vaccination series)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Safety: + Frequency of solicited local and solicited systemic AEs within 7 days after each booster dose administration (Part B); + Frequency of SAEs during the entire study; + Frequency of AESIs during the entire study; + Frequency of unsolicited AEs within 28 days after each vaccination; + Frequency of SAEs, AESIs, unsolicited and solicited AEs stratified by age cohort. Immunogenicity: Part A: Main Study Phase: + GMTs for IgG against each OspA serotype (ST1 to ST6), determined by an IgG binding assay, at baseline (screening visit) and at Day 85, 180, 194, 365 and Month 18; + SCRs (Seroconversion Rate, defined as seroconversion from seronegative to seropositive or =four-fold increase in IgG titer compared to baseline if subject was tested OspA seropositive at baseline) for each OspA serotype specific IgG (ST1 to ST6), determined by an IgG binding assay, at Day 85, 180, 194, 208, 365 and Month 18; + GMFRs (Geometric Mean of the fold rise as compared to baseline) for IgG against each OspA serotype (ST1 to ST6), determined by an IgG binding assay, at Day 85 and 208; + GMTs, SCRs and GMFRs for IgG against each OspA serotype (ST1 to ST6), determined by an IgG binding assay, at specified time-points, stratified by age cohort. Part B: Booster Phase: + GMTs for IgG against each OspA serotype (ST1 to ST6), determined by an IgG binding assay, at Months 18, 19, 23, 26, 30, 31, 39, 42, 43 and 48; + SCRs for each OspA serotype specific IgG (ST1 to ST6), determined by an IgG binding assay, at Months 18, 19, 23, 26, 30, 31, 39, 42, 43 and 48; + GMFRs for IgG against each OspA serotype (ST1 to ST6), determined by an IgG binding assay, at Months 19, 31 and 43; + GMTs, SCRs and GMFRs for IgG against each OspA serotype (ST1 to ST6), determined by an IgG binding assay, at specified time points, stratified by age cohort.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Solicited: AEs were assessed within 7 days after each vaccine. Unsolicited: AEs were assessed w
