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/Vaccine

    CHIKV 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/Vaccine

    Placebo 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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

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.

Time frame
From 14 days postvaccination through end of study follow-up, up to 1095 days postvaccination

Secondary outcomes

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.

Time frame
98 days postvaccination through end of study follow-up, up to 1095 days postvaccination
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.

Time frame
14 days postvaccination through end of study follow-up, up to 1095 days postvaccination
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.

Time frame
Within 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.

Time frame
Within 28 days postvaccination
