A Phase 4 interventional study of Tick-Borne Encephalitis (TBE) Vaccine (Inactivated) in Encephalitis, Tick-Borne, sponsored by Pfizer. Completed at 3 sites in 3 countries. Open to participants aged 3 Years to 18 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-05-21.
Sponsored by Pfizer · Phase 4, Interventional, and Prevention
The purpose of this study is to assess the seropersistence of TBE antibodies in children and adolescents aged 1 to 15 years at the time of their first vaccination, 24 months and 34 months after completion of primary immunization with FSME-IMMUN 0.25 ml (3 vaccinations during the predecessor study 209), as well as the immune response to a booster vaccination with FSME-IMMUN 0.25 ml or FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml administered 36 months after the third vaccination (in Study 209).
Protocol amendment of October 2006: The study has been prolonged for children and adolescents who still showed highly positive TBE virus antibody concentrations at approximately 3 years after the third vaccination and therefore did not receive a booster vaccination at this time point. Further follow-up of TBE antibody persistence is now included for these subjects at 46 and 58 months after the third vaccination (in Study 209), as well as a booster vaccination offered at either 48 or 60 months after the third vaccination (in Study 209), depending on individual TBE antibody levels.
51 studies on the registry are indexed under Encephalitis, Tick-Borne; 9 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 375 is above the median of 192 across 32 interventional studies indexed under Encephalitis, Tick-Borne.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
Exclusion Criteria:
Subjects will not be eligible for booster vaccination if they:
Subjects who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria, but have a febrile illness (body temperature >=38.0°C, measured orally) at the scheduled time of vaccination will not be vaccinated until their body temperature returns to normal.
Subjects who received any vaccination within 4 weeks prior to the booster vaccination will not be vaccinated until an interval of four weeks has passed.
If subjects received antipyretics within 4 hours prior to the intended TBE vaccination, the vaccination should be performed at a later time.
Females of childbearing potential will only be vaccinated if they agree to employ adequate measures from 4 weeks before the booster vaccination until the end of the study.
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
