Scientific titleYellow fever vaccine dose-response study of 17-DD on children between 9 and 11 months of age: a double-blind randomised controlled trial
Study objectivesYellow fever vaccine at lower doses is effective and safe in children between 9 and 11 months of age
Ethics approval(s)Ethics Committee of Centre for Biological and Health Sciences (Centro de Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde) (CCBS) approved on 30th March 2011 (Protocol: 17/2011)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedYellow Fever
InterventionVaccination with one dose subcutaneously (sc) of yellow fever vaccine in current use or in five decreasing dilutions, and a placebo (placebo will receive vaccine as soon as possible):

Arm 1: Reference vaccine (in current use): approximately 60,000 plaque-forming units (PFU), no protamine sulfate addition [approximately 12,000, 50% mouse lethal dose (MLD50)]
Arm 2: approximately 60,000 PFU wtih protamine sulfate addition (approximately 12,000 MLD50)
Arm 3: approximately 20,000 PFU, no protamine sulfate addition (approximately 4,000 MLD50)
Arm 4: approximately 20,000 PFU with protamine sulfate addition (approximately 4,000 MLD50)
Arm 5: approximately 6,000 PFU, no protamine sulfate addition (approximately 1,200 MLD50)
Arm 6: approximately 6,000 PFU with protamine sulfate addition (approximately 1,200 MLD50)

Volunteers will be followed up for a month after vaccination and 9 to 15 months after vaccination there will be another blood collection, for evaluation of duration of immunity.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Yellow fever vaccine
Primary outcome measureTo evaluate the immunogenicity of yellow fever vaccine used in decreasing doses and with addition of a purification step in the process of vaccine producing in children 9-11 months of age in relation to the formulation currently used.

It will be measured by blood samples 30 days after vaccination and serum antibodies before and after vaccination
Secondary outcome measures1. Reactogenicity
2. Frequency of viraemia measured 5 days after vaccination
3. Duration of immunity measured one year later (9 - 15 months is acceptable) after vaccination
Overall study start date01/06/2011
Completion date31/08/2012
