Concomitant Vaccination With the Japanese Encephalitis Vaccine IC51 and HARVIX® 1440

Safety and Immunogenicity of Concomitant Vaccination With IC51 and HARVIX® 1440 in Healthy Subjects. A Single-blind Randomized, Controlled Phase 3 Study

The objective is to investigate the immunogenicity of the Japanese Encephalitis vaccine IC51 (JE-PIV) single and concomitant with HAVRIX® 1440

This is a randomized, controlled, multi-center, single-blind phase 3 study. The study population consists of male and female healthy subjects, aged at least 18 years.

192 subjects will be enrolled at 2 sites in Europe.

Inclusion Criteria:

• At least 18 years of age
• In female subjects either childbearing potential terminated by surgery or one year post-menopausal, or a negative serum pregnancy test during screening and the willingness not to become pregnant during the study period and 30 days after the last vaccination by practicing reliable methods of contraception
• Written informed consent obtained prior to study entry

Exclusion Criteria:

• History of clinical manifestation of any flavivirus infection
• History of vaccination against Japanese encephalitis (JE), Yellow fever and Dengue fever (an anti-JEV neutralizing antibody titer >= 1:10 at baseline is acceptable for inclusion, these subjects will be part of the safety population, but will not be analyzed for immunogenicity in the per-protocol analysis)
• History of any previous Hepatitis A vaccination and infection
• Use of any other investigational or non-registered drug or vaccine in addition to the study vaccine during the study period or within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine
• Planned administration of another vaccine during the study period
• Immunodeficiency including post-organ-transplantation or immunosuppressive therapy
• A family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency
• History of autoimmune disease
• Administration of chronic (defined as more than 14 days) immunosuppressants or other immune-modifying drugs within six months of vaccination.
• Any acute infections within 4 weeks prior to enrollment
• Infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B (HBsAg) or Hepatitis C
