Inclusion criteria

  • At least 18 years old.
  • VEE PRNT80 \< 1:20 before immunization.
  • (females) Negative urine pregnancy test on the same day before vaccination. Not planning pregnancy for 3 months.
  • Actively enrolled in the SIP.
  • At risk for exposure to virulent VEE virus (with up-to-date risk assessment).
  • Previous TC-83 vaccination
  • Up-to-date (within 1 year) physical examination/tests.
  • Sign and date the approved .
  • Willing to return for all follow-up visits.
  • Agree to report adverse event (AE) up to 28 days after vaccination.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Over age of 65 years
  • abnormal lab results including evidence of , carrier state, or elevated liver function tests.
  • History of immunodeficiency or current treatment with medication.
  • (females) Currently breastfeeding.
  • Confirmed (HIV) titer.
  • Any known allergies to components of the vaccine.
  • A medical condition that in the judgment of the Principal Investigator (PI) would impact subject safety (i.e-vaccination and or exposure to another alphavirus).
  • Administration of any vaccine within 28 days of C-84.
  • Any unresolved AEs resulting from a previous immunization.
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.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

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.
