A multi-country study to test the efficacy, safety, and immunogenicity of a Chikungunya Virus vaccine in adolescents aged 12 to 17 and adults aged 18 and over. The study is designed so that participants receiving the vaccine (active ingredient) or placebo (inactive substance), and the researchers administrating either one, is not aware of what type of vaccine is given.

A Phase 3b Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Immunogenicity of an Adjuvanted Chikungunya Virus Virus-like Particle (CHIKV VLP) Vaccine for the Prevention of Chikungunya Disease in Adolescents (12 to <18 Years) and Adults (=18 Years) - EBSI-CV-317-007

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Currently pregnant or breastfeeding. 2. Participation or planned participation in an investigational clinical study within 30 days of Day 1 (investigational product administration) and for the duration of the study. Note: Participation in an observational trial/study or follow-up phase of a trial/study may be eligible; however, participation in any other study should be discussed with the MM prior to enrollment. 3. History of severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis to any component of the investigational product. 4. Prior receipt of any CHIKV vaccine (or therapeutic) or participation in a prior interventional CHIKV trial/study. 5. Prior documented, laboratory confirmed CHIKV disease. 6. History of any known congenital or acquired immunodeficiency or immunosuppressive condition that could impact response to investigational product administration (eg, leukemia, lymphoma, malignancy, functional or anatomic asplenia, alcoholic cirrhosis). Notes: i) history of basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix considered cured is not exclusionary; ii) history of malignancy considered cured from over 5 years from the date of screening with minimal risk of reoccurrence or relapse is not exclusionary; iii) documented controlled HIV infection (most recent tests show undetectable viral load and a CD4 cell count over 350 at the time of investigational product administration) is not exclusionary. 7. Prior receipt or anticipated use of systemic immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive medications including hyperimmune products, monoclonal antibody therapies, systemic corticosteroids, and/or therapy with alkylating agents, antimetabolites, or radiation from 6 months prior to screening through Day 22 visit (21 days [-3/+5] after investigational product administration). Note: i) for systemic corticosteroid uses at a dose or equivalent dose of 20 mg of prednisone daily for 14 days or more within 90 days of screening through Day 22 visit is exclusionary, and ii) use of inhaled, intranasal, topical, or ocular steroids is not exclusionary. 8. Receipt or anticipated receipt of any vaccine from 30 days prior to Day 1 through Day 22 visit. 9. Unstable medical condition in the last 30 days prior to Day 1. 10. Acute illness with or without fever (oral temperatures =38.0 °C [100.4 °F]) within 14 days prior to investigational product administration. 11. Medical or social condition (eg, substance abuse) that could have an impact on the participant’s ability to be compliant with study procedures/visits, as determined by the investigator. 12. Plans to travel outside the study area or move away for more than 3 consecutive months and will not be available for follow up at the site. 13. Identified as an investigator or employee of an investigator or study center with direct involvement in the proposed study, or identified as an immediate family member (ie, parent, spouse) of the investigator or employee with direct involvement in the proposed study, or identified as an employee of Bavarian Nordic, their families, contractors, agents, business partners, or anyone with a financial interest in the outcome of the study. 14. Any other medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, could adversely impact the participant’s participation or the conduct of the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: 1. To evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of CHIKV VLP vaccine versus placebo in nonpregnant participants aged 12 and older at risk of CHIKV infection. ;Secondary Objective: 1. To evaluate the vaccine efficacy of CHIKV VLP in the prevention of chronic CHIKV disease. 2. To evaluate the CHIKV VLP vaccine for prevention of severe CHIKV disease. 3. To evaluate the immunogenicity of CHIKV VLP vaccine.;Primary end point(s): 1. Incidence of laboratory-confirmed acute CHIKV disease: Laboratory-confirmed acute CHIKV disease is defined by the presence of fever, one or more of arthralgia, myalgia or rash, and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) confirmation of CHIKV ribonucleic acid. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. From 14 days postvaccination through end of study follow-up, up to 1095 days postvaccination

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Incidence of laboratory-confirmed chronic CHIKV disease: Laboratory-confirmed chronic CHIKV disease is defined as the persistence of at least one of the articular manifestations (continuous or recurrent pain, rigidity, edema) for >12 weeks after the onset of laboratory confirmed acute CHIKV disease. 2. Incidence of laboratory-confirmed severe CHIKV disease: Laboratory-confirmed severe CHIKV disease is defined as a laboratory confirmed acute CHIKV disease presenting with dysfunction of at least one organ or system that threatens life and requires hospitalization. 3. Number of participants with Solicited or Local Adverse Events: In the Safety Subset, the number and percentage of participants with local and systemic reactogenicity events through 7 days postvaccination. 4. Number of participants with Unsolicited Adverse Events: In the Safety Subset, the number and percentage of participants with unsolicited adverse events through 28 days postvaccination. 5. Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events: For all study participants who receive investigational product, number and percentage of participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs). Note: All participants will be followed for a minimum duration of 6 months following investigational product administration. 6. Number of Participants with Adverse Events of Special Interest: Adverse events of special interest are defined as the occurrence of new onset or worsening arthralgia that is medically attended and are not associated with a febrile disease case. For all study participants who receive investigational product, number and percentage of participants with AESI for the duration of the study. Note: All participants will be followed for a minimum duration of 6 months following investigational product administration. 7.
