Official title
A Phase 1 Open Label, Dose-Escalation Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of a Trivalent Virus-Like Particle (VLP) Encephalitis Vaccine, VRC-WEVVLP073-00-VP, in Healthy Adults
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Western Equine Encephalitis Virus (WEEV), Eastern Equine Encephalitis Virus (EEEV), and Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Virus (VEEV) are transmitted to humans by infected mosquitoes and can cause encephalitis (swelling of the brain) and other neurological manifestations, including fever, chills, discomfort, feeling sick, muscle pain and then headache, vomiting, restlessness, irritability, seizures, coma, and death. Vaccines teach the body to prevent or fight an infection. When the body learns to fight an infection, this is called an immune response. Researchers developed a vaccine against Western, Eastern and Venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses to help the body make an immune response. There are no live or killed viruses in the vaccine, so you cannot get infected with any of these 3 viruses from getting the vaccine. The experimental trivalent encephalitis vaccine, VRC-WEVVLP073-00-VP, is composed of Western equine encephalitis (WEE), Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), and Venezuelan equine encephalitis (VEE) virus-like particles (VLP). The purpose of this study is to test three doses (6 mcg, 30 mcg, and 60 mcg) of this experimental vaccine against Western, Eastern and Venezuelan equine encephalitis viruses.
