About

This trial evaluated the use of a tetravalent vaccine against dengue.

Primary objectives:

• To describe the humoral immune response to dengue before and after each vaccination with tetravalent dengue vaccine in adults, adolescents, and children.
• To evaluate the safety of each vaccination with tetravalent dengue vaccine in the 4 age cohorts.
• To evaluate the persistence of antibodies against dengue during 5 years after the first vaccination with tetravalent dengue vaccine in the 4 age cohorts.

Full description

Safety assessments included solicited reactions within 7 or 14 days after each injection, unsolicited adverse events within 28 days after each injection, and serious adverse events during the study period.

Enrollment: 180 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 2 to 45 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

• Chronic illness at a stage that could interfere with trial conduct or completion, in the opinion of the Investigator.
• Current alcohol abuse or drug addiction that may interfere with the participant's ability to comply with trial procedures.
• Receipt of blood or blood-derived products in the past 3 months that might interfere with the assessment of immune response.
