Rift Valley Fever | Biological: TSI-GSD 200 RVF Vaccine | Phase 2 |
Study Objectives:
The objectives of this two-part, primary immunization and booster dose, study are to continue to collect safety data on Rift Valley Fever (RVF) Vaccine, Inactivated (TSI-GSD 200); and, to continue to collect immunogenicity data on Rift Valley Fever (RVF) Vaccine, Inactivated (TSI-GSD 200) and analyze interim data to determine whether a 6-month dose is indicated; and, to provide potential protection for personnel at risk for occupational exposure to the RVF virus and collect data on incidence of occupational RVF infection (subclinical and clinical) in immunized personnel.

Experimental: TSI-GSD 200 RVF Vaccine
Part A: Inactivated, Dried (TSI-GSD 200) RVF vaccine, will be given as three 1.0-ml subcutaneous primary series injections, with doses on day 0, once on days 7-14, once on days 28-42 (the third dose will be given at least 21 days after the second dose).Part B: Subcutaneous 1.0-ml booster doses (maximum of four boosters over 12 months) will be given if the volunteer fails to respond to the primary series with a PRNT80 ≥ 1:40 or annually if titer wanes to < 1:40.

- Safety: All Incidences of Erythema [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Collect data on the occurrence of AEs and SAEs in reference to Erythema (most frequently reported AE) in parts A and B of the study
- Immunogenicity: Geometric Mean Titers After 3rd Vaccination [ Time Frame: 28 days after dose 3 ]Measurement is the 80% plaque-reduction neutralization titer (PRNT80) antibodies to RVF virus following 3rd vaccination (Parts A and B of study)
- Immunogenicity: Geometric Mean Titers Before 6-month Booster [ Time Frame: Before 6-month booster ]Measurement is the 80% plaque-reduction neutralization titer (PRNT80) for study Parts A and B
- Immunogenicity: Geometric Mean Titers at 12 Months [ Time Frame: at 12 months ]Measurement is the 80% plaque-reduction neutralization titer (PRNT80) for study Parts A and B.
- Immunogenicity: Geometric Mean Titers After 6-month Booster [ Time Frame: month 6 after dose 4 ]Measurement is the 80% plaque-reduction neutralization titer (PRNT80) for study Parts A and B.

- Volunteer must have signed and dated the approved informed consent (Volunteer Agreement Explanation and Affidavit).
Additional Inclusion Criteria for Part B:
• Completion of primary series and any follow-up titer (PRNT80) < 1:40 from the current or a previous RVF IND 365 protocol.
Exclusion Criteria
Parts A & B:

- Personal history of immunodeficiency or current treatment with immunosuppressive medication, at the discretion of the physician.
- Confirmed HIV infection.
- Any medical condition that, at the discretion of the physician, may jeopardize the safety of the volunteer.
- Any serious or life-threatening allergies to any component of the vaccine: formalin, human serum albumin, neomycin, streptomycin
- Administration of any other vaccine within 28 days of any dose of RVF vaccine.
- Any unresolved adverse event resulting from a previous immunization.
Additional Exclusion Criteria for Part B:
• An adequate PRNT80 (≥ 1:40) after completion of primary series.
