Study summary

The main aim of this study is to collect more information on the effectiveness of TDV when used in a pilot public vaccination program for children and adolescents participating in a community-based cohort in Southeast Asian countries with high dengue transmission, specifically Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia where TDV is already approved for use.

The study will include cohort participants (individual follow-up of 3 years) who may or may not later be vaccinated with TDV as part of a pilot public vaccination program in the study countries. The study will investigate if cohort participants who were vaccinated with TDV have less hospital stays due to dengue than cohort participants who were not vaccinated with TDV. The study will also provide further information on the effectiveness of TDV against the least common dengue virus serotypes (DENV-3 and DENV-4).

Study population

Pediatric and/or adolescent residents in the study area who are age-eligible for vaccination with TDV as part of a pilot public vaccination program (children 7-10 years in Thailand, 6-10 years in Indonesia, and 7-12 years in Malaysia).

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.

Inclusion criteria

Cohort:

To be eligible for inclusion in the study cohort, participants must meet the following inclusion criteria:

  1. The participant is a child or adolescent eligible to be vaccinated with TDV as part of a vaccination program planned in the study area.
  2. The participant's family do not intend to migrate away from the cohort hospital catchment area within 3 years of his/her enrollment into the study cohort.
  3. The participant's parent(s) or legally acceptable representative (LAR) signs and dates a written form (ICF), and any required privacy authorization where applicable, prior to the initiation of any study procedures, after the nature of the study has been explained according to local regulatory requirements.
  4. The participant signs and dates an age-appropriate assent form prior to the initiation of any study procedures, after the nature of the study has been explained according to local regulatory requirements.
  5. The participant's parent(s) or LAR agrees that a baseline blood sample may be taken from the participant.

Cases:

To be eligible for inclusion as a case, participants must meet the following inclusion criteria:

  1. The participant is part of the cohort.
  2. The participant is hospitalized and clinically diagnosed with dengue.
  3. The participant has a blood sample available that was taken preferably within 5 days of fever onset and/or onset of symptoms compatible with dengue.
  4. The participant tested positive for dengue by RT-PCR.

Controls:

To be eligible for inclusion as a matched control, participants must meet the following inclusion criteria:

  1. The participant is part of the cohort.
  2. The participant had not been hospitalized with VCD at any point between enrollment in the cohort and the index date (that is, when his/her matched case was hospitalized with CDD).
  3. The participant is a resident in the same neighbourhood as the matched case.
  4. The participant's date of birth is in the same calendar year as the matched case.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria

Cases:

To be eligible for inclusion as a case participants must not meet any of the following criteria:

  1. The participant has been vaccinated with TDV, a tetravalent, live attenuated, chimeric dengue vaccine in a yellow fever 17D backbone (CYD-TDV), or an dengue vaccine prior to cohort enrollment.
  2. as per the locally approved label/product information leaflet.

Controls:

To be eligible for inclusion as a control participants must not meet any of the following criteria:

  1. The participant has been vaccinated with TDV, CYD-TDV, or an investigational dengue vaccine prior to cohort enrollment.
  2. Contraindications as per the locally approved label/product information leaflet.
  3. The participant could not be contacted at the time of being selected as a control.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

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.

Contraindication

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.

Groups and cohorts

  • Nested Case-control Participants

    The cohort will include case and control participants. Case participants who are hospitalized and meet the study inclusion and exclusion criteria for cases, have CDD, and have a confirmed positive RT-PCR test result (VCD) will be ascertained by active hospital surveillance. Control participants who are matched to a case and meet the study inclusion and exclusion criteria for controls but have not been hospitalized with VCD on or before their case's index date (first date of hospitalization for CDD for potential cases) will be interviewed.

    Other: No Intervention
