About

This study is designed to determine the safety and immunogenicity of a Rift Valley Fever (RVF) Vaccine

Full description

Study Objectives:

The objectives of this two-part, primary immunization and booster dose, study are to continue to collect safety data on Rift Valley Fever (RVF) Vaccine, Inactivated (TSI-GSD 200); and, to continue to collect immunogenicity data on Rift Valley Fever (RVF) Vaccine, Inactivated (TSI-GSD 200) and analyze interim data to determine whether a 6-month dose is indicated; and, to provide potential protection for personnel at risk for occupational exposure to the RVF virus and collect data on incidence of occupational RVF infection (subclinical and clinical) in immunized personnel.

Enrollment: 278 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 17+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

• Subjects must be at risk for exposure to RVF virus,
• Subjects must have an up-to-date (within 1 year) medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests in their charts and be medically cleared for participation by an investigator. Examinations or tests may be repeated within 1 year at the discretion of the enrolling physician.
• Volunteer must have signed and dated the approved informed consent (Volunteer Agreement Explanation and Affidavit).

Additional Inclusion Criteria for Part B:

• Completion of primary series and any follow-up titer (PRNT80) < 1:40 from the current or a previous RVF IND 365 protocol.

Exclusion Criteria

Parts A & B:

• Clinically significant abnormal lab results including evidence of Hepatitis C, Hepatitis B or carrier state, or elevated liver function tests.
• Personal history of immunodeficiency or current treatment with immunosuppressive medication, at the discretion of the physician.
• Confirmed HIV infection.
• Any medical condition that, at the discretion of the physician, may jeopardize the safety of the volunteer.
• Any serious or life-threatening allergies to any component of the vaccine: formalin, human serum albumin, neomycin, streptomycin
• Administration of any other vaccine within 28 days of any dose of RVF vaccine.
• Any unresolved adverse event resulting from a previous immunization.

Additional Exclusion Criteria for Part B:

• An adequate PRNT80 (≥ 1:40) after completion of primary series.

TSI-GSD 200 RVF Vaccine

Experimental group

Description:

Part A: Inactivated, Dried (TSI-GSD 200) RVF vaccine, will be given as three 1.0-ml subcutaneous primary series injections, with doses on day 0, once on days 7-14, once on days 28-42 (the third dose will be given at least 21 days after the second dose).Part B: Subcutaneous 1.0-ml booster doses (maximum of four boosters over 12 months) will be given if the volunteer fails to respond to the primary series with a PRNT80 ≥ 1:40 or annually if titer wanes to \< 1:40.

Treatment:

Biological: TSI-GSD 200 RVF Vaccine
