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 Reporting Treatment Related Adverse Events Post Vaccination With Either ChimeriVax™-JE or a Placebo

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.
