Brief summary

The main aims of the study are to learn about side effects and a participant's immune response to Takeda's Dengue Vaccine when given twice within 3 months. Participants will receive 2 doses of their randomized treatment (vaccine or placebo). Children, teenagers and adults will receive one dose of either the vaccine or placebo on Day 1 and the second dose of either the vaccine or placebo 3 months later. Up to 4 blood samples will be taken throughout the study. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic 6 times.

Detailed description

The vaccine being tested in this study is called TDV (Live, Attenuated). TDV is being tested to prevent dengue. This study will assess the safety and immunogenicity of TDV in healthy participants. The study will enroll approximately 480 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned (by chance, like flipping a coin) to receive either TDV or placebo- which will remain undisclosed to the participant, and investigator during the study: * Cohort 1, ≥18 to ≤60 Age Group: TDV * Cohort 1, ≥18 to ≤60 Age Group: Placebo * Cohort 2, ≥4 to \<18 Age Group: TDV * Cohort 2, ≥4 to \<18 Age Group: Placebo This multi-center trial will be conducted in India. The overall duration of the study is approximately 9 months.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Neutralizing Antibodies by Microneutralization Test for Each of the 4 Dengue Virus SerotypesDay 120 (Month 6)GMTs of neutralizing antibodies will be measured by microneutralization test 50% \[MNT50\] for each of the 4 Dengue Serotypes for all participants. The 4 dengue virus serotypes are dengue virus (DENV)-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4.
Percentage of Participants with an AE Leading to TDV or Placebo Discontinuation.From first vaccination on Day 1 through the end of trial (up to Day 270)An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment.
Percentage of Participants with a Medically-attended AE (MAAE)From first vaccination on Day 1 through the end of trial (up to Day 270)MAAEs are defined as AEs leading to an unscheduled visit to or by a healthcare professional including visits to an emergency department, but not fulfilling seriousness criteria.
Percentage of Participants with a Serious Adverse Event (SAE)From first vaccination on Day 1 through the end of trial (up to Day 270)An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that: results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/ incapacity, leads to a congenital anomaly/birth defect in the offspring of a participant, is an important medical event.
Number of Participants with Solicited Local (Injection Site) Adverse Events (AEs) by Severity Within 7 Days Post Vaccination at Day 1Within 7 days postvaccination at Day 1Solicited local AEs at injection site are defined as injection site pain, injection site erythema, and injection site swelling. The AEs will be graded by investigator as Grade 0: none, Grade 1: mild, Grade 2: moderate and Grade 3: severe.
Number of Participants with Solicited Local Injection Site AEs, by Severity Within 7 Days Post Vaccination at Day 90Within 7 days postvaccination at Day 90Solicited local AEs at injection site are defined as injection site pain, injection site erythema, and injection site swelling. The AEs will be graded by investigator as Grade 0: none, Grade 1: mild, Grade 2: moderate and Grade 3: severe.
Number of Participants with Solicited Systemic AEs by Severity Within 14 Days Post Vaccination at Day 1Within 14 days postvaccination at Day 1An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. Solicited systemic AEs assessments for children \<6 years old include: drowsiness, irritability/fussiness, loss of appetite and fever, and those for children ≥ 6 years old/adolescent/adult include: headache, asthenia, malaise, myalgia and fever. The AEs will be graded by investigator as Grade 0: none, Grade 1: mild, Grade 2: moderate and Grade 3: severe.
Number of Participants with Solicited Systemic AEs, by Severity Within 14 Days Post Vaccination at Day 90Within 14 days postvaccination at Day 90An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a drug; it does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. Solicited systemic AEs assessments for children \<6 years old include: drowsiness, irritability/fussiness, loss of appetite and fever, and those for children ≥ 6 years old/adolescent/adult include: headache, asthenia, malaise, myalgia and fever. The AEs will be graded by investigator as Grade 0: none, Grade 1: mild, Grade 2: moderate and Grade 3: severe.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion for Each of the 4 Dengue Virus SerotypesDay 1, Day 120 and Day 270Seroconversion rate, defined as the percentage of participants seropositive, is derived from the titers of dengue-neutralizing antibodies. Seropositive is defined as a reciprocal neutralizing titer ≥10. The 4 dengue virus serotypes are DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4.
Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion for Multiple (2, 3, or 4) Dengue Virus SerotypesDay 1, Day 120 and Day 270Seroconversion rate, defined as the percentage of participants seropositive, is derived from the titers of dengue-neutralizing antibodies. Seropositive is defined as a reciprocal neutralizing titer ≥10. The 4 dengue virus serotypes are DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4.
Geometric Mean Titers by Microneutralization Test for Each of the 4 Dengue Virus SerotypesDay 1 and Day 270GMTs of neutralizing antibodies will be measured by MNT50 for each of the 4 Dengue Serotypes for all participants. The 4 dengue virus serotypes are DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3 and DENV-4.
