About this trial
Study EBSI-CV-317-007 is a field study to evaluate the efficacy, immunogenicity, and safety of CHIKV VLP vaccine. The study was designed using infectious disease models and advanced analytics to guide region and clinical site prioritization, define the timing of study activities, and optimize the study parameters to local epidemiological conditions for CHIKV disease to overcome the challenges of assessing efficacy for CHIKV VLP vaccine.

Treatments tested in this trial
CHIKV VLP vaccine
Biological/VaccineCHIKV VLP vaccine is comprised of 40 µg CHIKV VLP adsorbed on aluminum hydroxide (corresponding to approximately 300 µg of aluminum and stabilized with formulation buffer). CHIKV VLP vaccine is supplied as a single dose of 0.8 mL in a single use pre-filled syringe administered via IM injection in the deltoid muscle.
Placebo
Biological/VaccinePlacebo is comprised of formulation buffer supplied as a single dose of 0.8 mL in a single use pre-filled syringe administered via IM injection in the deltoid muscle.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
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.
Secondary outcomes
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.
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.
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.
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.
