We previously reported the first-in-human assessment of three doses (2, 5, and 10 µg) of purified inactivated Zika virus vaccine (PIZV or TAK-426) in the Phase 1 ZIK-101 study (NCT03343626). Here, we report dose selection based on extended safety and immunogenicity data (6 months post-vaccination) and discuss considerations (e.g.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA traditional phase 3 clinical efficacy study for a Zika vaccine may be unfeasible because of the current low transmission of Zika virus (ZIKV). An alternative clinical development approach to evaluate Zika vaccine efficacy (VE) is therefore required, delineated in the US FDA's Accelerated Approval Program for licensure, which utilizes an anti-Zika neutralizing antibody (Zika NAb) titer correlated with non-human primate (NHP) protection as a surrogate endpoint. In this accelerated approval approach, the estimation of VE would be inferred from the percentage of phase 3 trial participants achieving the established surrogate endpoint.

The disease is now endemic to many tropical and subtropical regions, manifesting as approximately 96 million symptomatic cases of dengue each year. Clinical trials have shown TAK-003 (Qdenga®), a live attenuated dengue tetravalent vaccine, to be well-tolerated, immunogenic, and efficacious in adults with no prior exposure to dengue virus infection living in non-endemic regions, as well as in adults and children living in dengue-endemic areas.

- Immunobridging is a method used to figure out how well vaccines work for people who weren’t tested in clinical studies, and it's helped create many vaccines.
- Dengue is a virus spread by mosquitoes that used to mainly affect kids, but now it's a risk for both kids and adults around the world.
- A study showed that the dengue vaccine (TAK-003) was tested on kids and found to work similarly in adults, suggesting it could be effective for everyone.
Background: The risks of heart failure (HF) events compared with stroke/systemic embolic events (SEE) or major bleeding (MB) in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) vs heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in a large atrial fibrillation (AF) population have not been well-studied.
Objectives: This study sought to assess HF outcomes, according to HF history and HF phenotypes (HFrEF vs HFpEF), and compare these events with SEE and MB, among patients with AF.
Methods: We analyzed patients enrolled in the ENGAGE-AF TIMI 48 (Effective Anticoagulation with Factor Xa Next Generation in AF-Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction 48) trial.
