Immunogenicity and Safety of Tetravalent Dengue Vaccine (TDV) Co-administered With an Hepatitis A Virus Vaccine

The vaccine tested in this study is TDV. TDV co-administered with HAV vaccine will be tested to assess immunogenicity and safety in healthy participants in non-endemic area(s) for dengue and HAV.

The study will enroll approximately 900 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the three groups-which will remain undisclosed to the observer. Participants will be randomized in 1:1:1 ratio to receive:

• Group 1: HAV vaccine (IM) and TDV placebo-matching injection (SC), co-administered at Day 1 (Month 0 [M0]); TDV placebo-matching injection (SC) administered at Day 90 (Month 3 [M3])
• Group 2: TDV (SC) and HAV placebo-matching injection (IM), co-administered at Day 1 (Month 0 [M0]); TDV (SC) administered at Day 90(Month 3 [M3])
• Group 3: TDV (SC) and HAV vaccine (IM), co-administered at Day 1 (Month 0 [M0]); TDV (SC) administered at Day 90 (Month 3 [M3])

This multi-center trial will be conducted in United Kingdom. The overall time to participate in this study is 270 days. Participants will have multiple visits to the clinic with a 6-months follow up after the last study administration, including a final visit at Day 270.

Inclusion criteria

• The participant is aged 18 to 60 years, inclusive.
• Participants who are in good health at the time of entry into the trial as determined by medical history, physical examination (including vital signs) and the clinical judgment of the Investigator.
• The participant signs and dates a written informed consent form and any required privacy authorization prior to the initiation of any trial procedures, after the nature of the trial has been explained according to local regulatory requirements.

• Receipt of immunostimulants within 60 days prior to Day 1 (Month 0).
• Immunosuppressive therapy such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy within 6 months prior to Day 1 (Month 0).
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or HIV-related disease.
• Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection.
• Hepatitis C virus infection.
• Genetic immunodeficiency.
• Abnormalities of splenic or thymic function.
• Participants with a known bleeding diathesis, or any condition that may be associated with a prolonged bleeding time.
• Participants with any serious chronic or progressive disease according to judgment of the Investigator (eg, neoplasm, insulin dependent diabetes, cardiac, renal or hepatic disease).
• Participants with body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 35 kg/m^2 (=weight in kg/[height in meters^2]).
• Participants participating in any clinical trial with another investigational product 30 days prior to Day 1 (Month 0) or intent to participate in another clinical trial at any time during the conduct of this trial.
• Participants who received any other vaccine within 14 days (for inactivated vaccines) or 28 days (for live vaccines) prior to enrollment in this trial or who are planning to receive any vaccine within 28 days of trial vaccine administration.

• Participants involved in the trial conduct or their first degree relatives.
• Participants with history of substance or alcohol abuse within the past 2 years.
• Female participants who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active, and who have not used any of the acceptable contraceptive methods for at least 2 months prior to Day 1 (Month 0).

• Of childbearing potential is defined as status post onset of menarche and not meeting any of the following conditions: bilateral tubal ligation (at least 1 year previously), bilateral oophorectomy (at least 1 year previously) or hysterectomy
• Acceptable birth control methods are defined as one or more of the following:

i. Hormonal contraceptive (such as oral, injection, transdermal patch, implant, cervical ring).

ii. Barrier method (condom with spermicide or diaphragm with spermicide) each and every time during intercourse.

iii. Intrauterine device (IUD). iv. Monogamous relationship with vasectomized partner (partner must have been vasectomized for at least 6 months prior to Day 1 [Month 0]).
