Study summary

The objective of this study is to investigate the immunogenicity and safety of FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml in two age strata (stratum A: 16 to 49 years, stratum B: > 50 years), with the first and second vaccinations being administered according to a rapid immunization schedule (12 ± 2 days apart). The third vaccination will be administered approximately 6 months after the first dose.

Inclusion criteria

Male and female subjects will be eligible for participation in this study if they:

  • Understand the nature of the study, agree to its provisions and provide written (assent if the subjects is under 18 years of age);
  • Provide the written informed consent of their parents / legal guardian (if the subject is under 18 years of age);
  • Are aged >= 16 years (from the 16th birthday) at screening;
  • Are clinically healthy, (i.e. the physician would have no reservations vaccinating with FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml outside the scope of a clinical trial);
  • Have a negative pregnancy test result at the first medical examination (if female and capable of bearing children);
  • Agree to employ adequate measures for the duration of the study (if female and capable of bearing children);
  • Agree to keep a Subject Diary.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects will be excluded from participation in this study if they:

  • Have a history of any previous tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) vaccination;
  • Have a history of TBE infection;
  • Have a history of infection with or vaccination against other flaviviruses (e.g. dengue fever, yellow fever, Japanese B-encephalitis);
  • Have a history of allergic reactions, in particular to one of the components of the vaccine;
  • Suffer from a disease (e.g. disease) or are undergoing a form of treatment (e.g. systemic ) that can be expected to influence immunological functions;
  • Have a known or suspected problem with drug or alcohol abuse (> 4 liters wine / week or equivalent level of other alcoholic beverages);
  • Have donated blood or plasma within 30 days of study entry;
  • Have received a blood transfusion or immunoglobulins within 30 days of study entry;
  • Are known to be positive (an HIV test is not required specifically for the purpose of this study);
  • Are simultaneously participating in another clinical trial including administration of an product;
  • Have participated in any other clinical study within six weeks prior to study entry;
  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding (if female);
  • Are a member of the team conducting this study or are in a dependent relationship with the study investigator. Dependent relationships include close relatives (i.e., children, partner/spouse, siblings, parents) as well as employees of the investigator.
  • Have received any other vaccination within two weeks prior to study entry.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

Informed consent

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.

Contraception

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.

Autoimmune disease

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.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

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.

HIV

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.

Investigational drug or device

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.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Immunogenicity: Seropositivity rate as determined by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and Neutralization test (NT) at Days 7, 14 and 21 after the second vaccination, in stratum A and B separately, and in the two age strata combined.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 19, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
