Phase 3 immunogenicity and safety study of a tick-borne encephalitis vaccine in healthy Japanese participants 1 year of age and older.
Vaccine 2024 April 13
BACKGROUND: Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus infects the central nervous system and may lead to severe neurological complications or death. This study assessed immunogenicity, safety, and tolerability of TBE vaccine in Japanese participants 1 year of age and older.
METHODS: This phase 3, multicenter, single-arm, open-label study was conducted in Japanese adult (≥ 16 years) and pediatric (1-< 16 years) populations. Participants received a single 0.5-mL (adult) or 0.25-mL (pediatric) dose of TBE vaccine at each of 3 visits. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants who were seropositive (neutralization test [NT] titer ≥ 1:10) 4 weeks after Dose 3. Secondary and exploratory endpoints included NT seropositivity rates 4 weeks after Dose 2, immunoglobulin G (IgG) seropositivity 4 weeks after Doses 2 and 3, NT geometric mean titers (GMTs), IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMCs), and geometric mean fold rises. Primary safety endpoints were frequencies of local reactions, systemic events, adverse events (AEs), and serious AEs.
RESULTS: Among 100 adult and 65 pediatric participants, 99.0 % and 100.0 % completed the study, respectively. NT seropositivity was achieved in 98.0 % adult and 100.0 % pediatric participants after Dose 3; seropositivity after Dose 2 was 93.0 % and 92.3 %, respectively. In both age groups, IgG seropositivity was ≥ 90.0 % and ≥ 96.0 % after Doses 2 and 3, respectively; GMTs and GMCs were highest 4 weeks after Dose 3. Reactogenicity events were generally mild to moderate in severity and short-lived. AEs were reported by 15.0 % (adult) and 43.1 % (pediatric) of participants. No life-threatening AEs, AEs leading to discontinuation, immediate AEs, related AEs, or deaths were reported. No serious AEs were considered related to TBE vaccine.
CONCLUSIONS: TBE vaccine elicited robust immune responses in Japanese participants 1 year of age and older. The 3-dose regimen was safe and well tolerated, and findings were consistent with the known safety profile of this TBE vaccine.
