A Clinical Trial in Healthy Infants to Assess Lot-to-lot Consistency of Japanese Encephalitis Live Attenuated SA 14-14-2 Vaccine and Non-inferiority With Respect to an Earlier Product.
The proposed study is a four-arm double-blind randomized controlled single center trial to evaluate, by examining post-vaccination seroprotection titers, the lot-to-lot consistency of three lots of Japanese Encephalitis live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine (LJEVac) manufactured in a new good manufacture practice (GMP) facility, and to establish non-inferiority of the new vaccine in comparison to a single lot of the same vaccine manufactured in the existing facility. The study aimed to enroll a total of 1,000 Bangladeshi infants aged 10 to 12 months. In addition to providing immunogenicity data, this study provided local safety data of JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine among Bangladeshi children. This is the first step to secure licensure for this life-saving vaccine in Bangladesh as well as provide data to support WHO prequalification of JE live attenuated SA 14-14-2 vaccine.

Primary outcomes
- Number/Percentage of Subjects With Demonstrated Seroprotection — 28 days post-vaccination
Seroprotection was defined as a serum antibody titer equal to or greater than 1:10, as measured by Plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT). The end point for neutralization was the highest dilution of serum reducing the number of plaques by 50%, compared with a negative serum control. In 2004, a group of experts under the leadership of the WHO recommended that seroprotection (SP) against JEV be defined as a neutralizing anti-JEV antibody serum titer ≥1:10 as determined by PRNT \[Hombach et al. 2005\]. Accordingly, a titer of ≥1:10 was adopted as an indicator of seroprotection in this study. - Geometric Mean Titers (GMT) — 28 days post-vaccination
