Study Summary

This trial will study the long-term safety and effectiveness of an experimental drug in people who have already taken it for a different condition.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who previously participated in the VLA1553-301 study, testing a Chikungunya virus vaccine. Participants must have had no neutralizing antibodies at baseline and understand the study's procedures. Those with substance abuse issues, conditions preventing blood draws, recent immunosuppressive drugs or blood donations are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is an open-label Phase 3b study focusing on long-term safety and persistence of antibodies from the Chikungunya virus vaccine candidate VLA1553. Up to 375 subjects from a prior study will be monitored to assess these outcomes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, participants will be observed for any long-term safety concerns related to the VLA1553 vaccine which could include typical vaccine-related reactions such as soreness at injection site, fever, fatigue or allergic responses.
