VEE Trial Summary

This trial is testing a vaccine for Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis (VEE) to see if it is safe and effective. The goal is to also collect data on how well the vaccine works in preventing VEE infection in people who are exposed to the virus through their job.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-65 at risk of Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis exposure, with a medical history and lab tests on file. Women must not be pregnant or plan pregnancy within 3 months post-vaccination. Participants must report adverse events for at least 28 days after vaccination and cannot have had certain previous VEE vaccines or specific allergies.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the safety and immune response to an inactivated VEE vaccine (C-84, TSI-GSD 205) as a booster in adults who've previously received the TC-83 vaccine. It also tracks occupational infection rates among vaccinated individuals.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to components of the vaccine such as Neomycin sulfate, Streptomycin, Formaldehyde, Eggs, Human serum albumin, Guinea pig heart cells, Sodium bisulfite.

VEE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort B: Responders to TC-83 or previous C-84 vaccinationsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects who showed an initial immune response ≥ 1:20 to TC-83 and whose titer decreased over time or who rollover from a previous VEE C-84 protocol will receive a single 0.5 mL booster dose of C-84 vaccine. Subjects who were initial non-responders (< 1:20) to TC-83 will be given subcutaneous 0.5 mL injections on Days 0, 28-35, and 56-63
Group II: Cohort A: Initial Non-responders to VEE TC-83 vaccinationsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Venezuelan Equine Encephalomyelitis (VEE) Vaccine, Inactivated, Dried, C-84, TSI-GSD 205, Lot 7, Run 1, to be administered as dose(s) of 0.5 mL given subcutaneously in the upper outer aspect of the triceps area.
