A Phase 1 Evaluation of the Safety and Protective Efficacy of a Single Dose of the Live Attenuated Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine TV005 to Protect Against Infection With rDEN3Δ30

This study will evaluate the ability of a single dose of the live attenuated recombinant
tetravalent dengue vaccine TetraVax-DV-TV005 (referred to as TV005) to protect against
infection with rDEN3Δ30, an attenuated DENV-3, when administered 6 months after the TV005
vaccine.

Dengue infection ranging from mild illness to life-threatening disease is widespread in most
tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Infection with any of the four serotypes of
dengue virus (DENV-1, DENV-2, DENV-3, and DENV-4) can cause dengue illness. TetraVax-DV-TV005
(referred to as TV005) is a live attenuated recombinant tetravalent dengue virus vaccine
developed to protect against all four dengue virus serotypes. This study will evaluate the
ability of a single dose of TV005 to protect against infection with rDEN3Δ30, a naturally
attenuated DENV-3, given 6 months following vaccination with TV005.

This study will enroll healthy adults with no history of previous flavivirus infection. At
Day 0 (study entry), participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the TV005
vaccine or placebo. On Day 180, all participants will receive the rDEN3Δ30 virus. All
participants will record their temperature 3 times a day for 16 days after each vaccination.
Additional study visits will occur on Days 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 21, 28, 56, 90, 150, 184,
186, 188, 190, 192, 194, 196, 201, 208, 236, 270, and 360. Study visits will include physical
examinations and blood collection.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Adult male or female between 18 and 50 years of age, inclusive.

- Good general health as determined by physical examination, laboratory screening, and
review of medical history.

- Available for the duration of the study, approximately 26 weeks post-second
inoculation.

contraception. Reliable methods of contraception include hormonal birth control,
condoms with spermicide, diaphragm with spermicide, surgical sterilization,
intrauterine device, and abstinence (greater than or equal to 6 months since last
sexual encounter). All female subjects will be considered having child-bearing
potential except for those with hysterectomy, tubal ligation, tubal coil (at least 3
months prior to vaccination), or post-menopausal status documented as at least 1 year
since last menstrual period.

Exclusion Criteria:

rheumatologic, autoimmune, or renal disease by history, physical examination, and/or
laboratory studies.

affects the ability of the subject to understand and cooperate with the requirements
of the study protocol.

alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and serum creatinine, as defined in this protocol.

- Any other condition that in the opinion of the investigator would jeopardize the
safety or rights of a subject participating in the trial or would render the subject
unable to comply with the protocol.

occupational, or family problems, as indicated by subject history.

- History of a severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis.

- Severe asthma (emergency room visit or hospitalization within the last 6 months).

- Current use of anticoagulant medications (this does not include anti-platelet
medication such as aspirin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications).

- Use of corticosteroids (excluding topical or nasal) or immunosuppressive drugs within
28 days prior to or following vaccination. Immunosuppressive dose of corticosteroids
is defined as greater than or equal to 10 mg prednisone equivalent per day for greater
than or equal to 14 days.

- Receipt of a live vaccine within 28 days or a killed vaccine within the 14 days prior
to vaccination or anticipated receipt of any vaccine during the 28 days following
vaccination.

- Asplenia.

- Receipt of blood products within the past 6 months, including transfusions or
immunoglobulin or anticipated receipt of any blood products or immunoglobulin during
the 28 days following vaccination.

- History or serologic evidence of previous dengue virus infection or other flavivirus
infection (e.g., yellow fever virus, St. Louis encephalitis virus, West Nile virus).
Subjects will also be screened for Zika virus if they have traveled in the past 18
months to areas of South & Central America that have reported Zika-virus transmission
(per Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] Zika travel information).

- Previous receipt of a flavivirus vaccine (licensed or experimental).

- Anticipated receipt of any investigational agent in the 28 days before or after
vaccination.
