A Phase 3 interventional study of TDV and Placebo in Dengue Fever, sponsored by Takeda. Recruiting at 4 sites in 2 countries. Open to participants aged 6 Months to 20 Months, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-06-29.
Sponsored by Takeda · Phase 3, Interventional, and Prevention
Dengue fever is caused by an infection with the dengue virus. Vaccination with Dengue Tetravalent Vaccine (TDV) can help prevent dengue fever. The purpose of this study is to collect information of vaccination with TDV when given to children younger than 2 years. The main aims of this study are to learn how safe the vaccine is and how well it works to activate a young child's immune system (this is called immunogenicity). Children between the age of 6 and 21 months will receive two vaccinations with either TDV or placebo 3 months apart. Blood samples will be taken before and after the vaccination as well as throughout the study. These are necessary to check how well the vaccine works to activate the immune system. During the study, participants will visit their study clinic 8 times for vaccinations, blood draws and health checks.
283 studies on the registry are indexed under Dengue; 44 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 212 is above the median of 132 across 197 interventional studies indexed under Dengue.

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.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
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.
The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.
