Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Japanese Encephalitis (Homologous Virus) Seroconversion Following Either ChimeriVax™-JE or JE-Vax® Vaccination
Up to Day 60 post-first vaccination

Antibodies to Japanese encephalitis (JE) were measured by 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50). Seroconversion was defined as a titer of ≥ 1:10.

Number of Participants Reporting Treatment Emergent Local Adverse Events and Treatment Emergent Systemic Reactions Post-Vaccination With Either ChimeriVax™-JE or JE-Vax®
Day 0 (Pre-vaccination) up to 60 days post-first vaccination

Treatment emergent local adverse events: Pain, Erythema, Pruritus, Swelling, Induration, and others as reported. Treatment emergent systemic reactions: Fatigue, Malaise, Chills, Pyrexia, Headache, Myalgia, Arthralgia, Diarrhea, Nausea, Vomiting, and Rash.

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events Following Vaccination With Either ChimeriVax™ JE or JE Inactivated Mouse Brain Derived Vaccine
Day 14 up to Day 42 Post-vaccination
Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events Following Vaccination With Either ChimeriVax™ JE or JE Inactivated Mouse Brain Derived Vaccine
Day 14 up to Day 42 Post-vaccination
Number of Participants With Seroconversion After Vaccination With Either ChimeriVax™ JE or JE Inactivated Mouse Brain Derived Vaccine
Day 42 Post-vaccination

Antibodies to Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus were measured with 50% plaque reduction neutralization tests (PRNT50) using JE CV virus, JE virus Nakayama strain, and JE virus strain 826309 (Indian wild-type). Seroconversion was defined as a titer ≥10 1/dil for participants who were seronegative at baseline and ≥ 4 fold rise for participants who were seropositive at baseline (titer ≥ 10 1/dil).

Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Japanese Encephalitis Viruses After Vaccination With Either ChimeriVax™ JE or JE Inactivated Mouse Brain Derived Vaccine
Day 42 Post Dose 1

Antibodies to Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus were measured with 50% plaque reduction neutralization tests (PRNT50) using JE CV virus, JE virus Nakayama strain, and JE virus strain 826309 (Indian wild-type).

Number of Participants Who Seroconverted to the Respective Homologous JE Vaccine Strain Up to 28 Days After the First Active Vaccination With Either ChimeriVax™-JE or JE-VAX® Vaccine
Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and up to Day 56 post-vaccination

Immunogenicity was determined by analyzing antibody response of subjects to the respective homologous JE vaccine strain using a serum dilution 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50). Seroconversion was defined as a 4 fold increase in antibody titer of ≥ 1:10 at baseline, or an antibody titer of ≥ 1:10 for participants with a baseline antibody titer of \< 1:10.

Mean Antibody Titers of the Respective Homologous JE Vaccine Strain After the First Active Vaccination With Either JE-Vax ® or ChimeriVax™-JE
Day 0 up to Day 56 post-vaccination

Immunogenicity was determined by analyzing antibody response of subjects to the respective homologous JE vaccine strain using a serum dilution 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50).

Number Participants That Were Seropositive to the Respective Homologous JE Vaccine Strain Before and Post-Vaccination With Either ChimeriVax™-JE or JE-VAX® Vaccine.
Day 0 (Pre-vaccination) and up to Month 12 After First Dose

Immunogenicity was determined by analyzing antibody response of subjects to the respective homologous JE vaccine strain using a serum dilution 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50). Seropositive status for the ChimeriVax™-JE group was based on the ChimeriVax™-JE virus strain and positive status for the JE-VAX® group was based on the Nakayama virus strain. Participants were defined as seropositive if they had an antibody titer of ≥ 1:10. \[Seropositive status can be 'Yes' or 'No'\]

Mean Antibody Titers to the Respective Homologous JE Vaccine Strain Post Vaccination With Either ChimeriVax™-JE or JE-VAX®
Day 0 (pre-vaccination) up to month 12 post-vaccination

Immunogenicity was determined by analyzing antibody response of subjects to the respective homologous JE vaccine strain using a serum dilution 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50).

Number of Participants Reporting at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event Following Vaccination With Either ChimeriVax™ JE or JE-VAX®
Day 0 up to Day 6 post-vaccination

Grade 3 (severe) adverse events were defined as incapacitating with inability to work or perform usual activity.

Frequently asked questions about ChimeriVax-JE vaccine

What is ChimeriVax-JE vaccine used for?

ChimeriVax-JE vaccine is an investigational vaccine being developed for the prevention of Japanese Encephalitis, a viral infection that can cause encephalitis. It is designed for use in adults and children, with clinical trials conducted in the United States, Australia, and India.

Who makes ChimeriVax-JE vaccine?

ChimeriVax-JE vaccine is being developed by Sanofi, a multinational pharmaceutical company traded on the stock exchange under the ticker symbol SNY. The vaccine is currently in clinical development and has not been approved for commercial use.

What phase is ChimeriVax-JE vaccine in?

ChimeriVax-JE vaccine has completed Phase 3 clinical trials, which are the final stage of testing before seeking regulatory approval. However, it remains an investigational product and is not yet approved by regulatory authorities such as the FDA.

What clinical trials is ChimeriVax-JE vaccine in?

ChimeriVax-JE vaccine has completed three clinical trials: NCT00314132, a Phase 3 safety study with 2004 participants; NCT00314145, a Phase 3 safety and efficacy study with 820 participants; and NCT00319592, a Phase 2 study with 60 participants. All trials enrolled healthy adults aged 18 years and older.

Is ChimeriVax-JE vaccine the same as JE-VAX?

ChimeriVax-JE vaccine is not the same as JE-VAX. Clinical trials NCT00314145 and NCT00319592 directly compared ChimeriVax-JE vaccine to JE-VAX, an inactivated mouse brain-derived Japanese Encephalitis vaccine, to evaluate their relative safety and efficacy.
