The purpose of this study is to compare a single dose of Japanese encephalitis (JE) chimeric virus vaccine (JE-CV) with a single dose of SA14-14-2 live vaccine as primary vaccination in infants and toddlers.
Primary Objective:
- To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response 28 days after vaccine administration of one dose of JE CV (administered on Day 0) compared to the antibody response after one dose of the SA14-14-2 control vaccine (administered on Day 0).
Secondary Objectives:
- To describe the immune response to JE in both vaccine groups in JE-CV virus and SA14-14-2 virus before and after a single dose of JE CV or a single dose of SA14-14-2 vaccine
- To describe the safety profile in all vaccinated subjects up to 28 days and all serious adverse events (SAEs) up to 6 months after vaccination.
- To describe only related SAEs and all death from 6 month to 12-month follow-up.

- Number of Participants With Japanese Encephalitis Seroconversion After Vaccination With One Dose of Either Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Vaccine (JE-CV) or Japanese Encephalitis Live Vaccine (SA14-14-2) (CD.JEVAX®) [ Time Frame: Day 0 through Day 28 after vaccination ]
Immunogenicity was assessed by the JE-CV virus and the SA14-14-2 virus 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50).
Japanese Encephalitis seroconversion was defined as a pre-vaccination titer <10 1/dil and post-vaccination titer ≥ 10 1/dil; or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 10 1/dil and a 4-fold increase from pre- to post-vaccination.
- Number of Participants With Japanese Encephalitis Seroprotection 28 Days After Vaccination With One Dose of Either Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (JE-CV) or Japanese Encephalitis Live Vaccine (SA14-14-2, CD.JEVAX®) [ Time Frame: Day 28 post-vaccination ]
Immunogenicity was assessed by JE-CV virus 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50) or SA14-14-2 virus PRNT50.
Japanese encephalitis seroprotection defined as participant with antibody titer ≥ 1:10 at baseline (D0) and on Day 28, Month 6, and Month 12.
- Number of Participants With Seroconversion After Vaccination With Either Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (JE-CV) or Japanese Encephalitis Live Vaccine (SA14-14-2) (CD.JEVAX®) [ Time Frame: Day 28 post-vaccination ]
Immunogenicity was assessed by JE-CV virus 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50) or SA14-14-2 virus PRNT50.
Seroconversion was defined as a pre-vaccination titer < 10 1/dil and post vaccination titer ≥ 10 1/dil, or a pre-vaccination titer ≥ 10 and a 4-fold increase from pre- to post-vaccination.
- Summary of Geometric Mean Titers of Vaccine Antibodies Before and Following One Dose of Vaccination With Either Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (JE-CV) or Japanese Encephalitis Live Vaccine (SA14-14-2; CD.JEVAX®) [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 28 post-vaccination ]Immunogenicity was assessed by JE-CV virus 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50) or SA14-14-2 virus PRNT50.
- Summary of Participants With Japanese Encephalitis Seroprotection After Vaccination With One Dose of Either Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (JE-CV) or Japanese Encephalitis Live Vaccine (SA14-14-2, CD.JEVAX®) [ Time Frame: Day 28 up to 12 months post-vaccination ]
Immunogenicity was assessed by JE-CV virus 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50) or SA14-14-2 virus PRNT50.
Japanese encephalitis seroprotection defined as participant with antibody titer ≥ 1:10 at baseline (D0) and on Day 28, Month 6, and Month 12.
- Summary of Geometric Mean Titers of Vaccine Antibodies Before and Following One Dose of Vaccination With Either Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (JE-CV) or Japanese Encephalitis Live Vaccine (SA14-14-2; CD.JEVAX®) [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and up to 12 months post-vaccination ]Immunogenicity was assessed by JE-CV virus 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50) or SA14-14-2 virus PRNT50.
- Number of Participants Reporting a Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reaction Following Vaccination With One Dose of Either Japanese Encephalitis Chimeric Virus Vaccine (JE-CV) or Japanese Encephalitis Live Vaccine (SA14-14-2 Vaccine) (CD.JEVAX®) [ Time Frame: Day 0 through Day 14 post-vaccination ]
Solicited Injection Site Reactions: Tenderness, Erythema, Swelling. Solicited Systemic Reactions: Fever (Temperature), Vomiting, Crying Abnormal, Drowsiness, Appetite Loss, Irritability.
Grade 3 Reactions defined as: Tenderness - crying when injected limb was moved, or movement of the injected limb was reduced; Erythema and Swelling - ≥ 5 cm; Fever - temperature > 39.5ºC; Vomiting - ≥ 6 episodes per 24 hours or requiring parenteral hydration; Crying Abnormal - > 3 hours; Drowsiness - Sleeping most of the time or difficult to wake up; Appetite loss - refused ≥ 3 feeds or refused most feeds; and Irritability - inconsolable.
