Dengue (DENV) is a mosquito-borne virus with four serotypes causing substantial morbidity in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide. V181 an investigational, live, attenuated, quadrivalent dengue vaccine. In this phase 1 double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity of baseline flavivirus-naïve (BFN) flavivirus-experienced (BFE) healthy adults were evaluated two formulations: TV003 TV005. TV005 contains 10-fold higher DENV2 level than TV003. Two-hundred...
One combined measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine without Human Serum Albumin (HSA) is currently licensed in the USA (M-M-R II; Merck, USA) and another has been developed (Priorix™ [MMR-RIT, GSK, Belgium]). In this follow-up study, children from or Puerto Rico, who had received one dose of M-M-R II MMR-RIT at 12–15 months age primary study (NCT00861744), were followed-up for 2 y post-vaccination. Anti-measles anti-rubella antibodies measured using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA),...
Abstract Background Dengue (DENV) is a mosquito-borne virus with four serotypes causing substantial morbidity in tropical and subtropical areas worldwide. A dengue vaccine that can be given to both seronegative seropositive populations remains an important unmet medical need. V181 investigational live, attenuated, quadrivalent vaccine. Methods In this phase 1 double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity of healthy adults were evaluated two formulations:...
