Brief Summary:
This study is designed to determine the safety and immunogenicity of a Rift Valley Fever (RVF) Vaccine

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Rift Valley Fever Biological: TSI-GSD 200 RVF Vaccine Phase 2

Detailed Description:

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.

Arm Intervention/treatment
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.
 Biological: 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.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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)

  2. 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
