Background: Chikungunya disease, caused by chikungunya virus (CHIKV), is associated with substantial morbidity, including debilitating CHIKV-related arthralgia.
Methods: Three clinical trials of a CHIKV vaccine (VLA1553, IXCHIQ®) were conducted in the USA: a Phase 1 dose-finding trial, a pivotal Phase 3 trial and a Phase 3 lot-to-lot consistency trial. Participants were healthy adults (≥18 years) and received a single intramuscular dose of VLA1553 (3520 participants) or placebo (1033 participants).

Chikungunya virus is an emerging mosquito-borne alphavirus that causes febrile illness and arthritic disease. Chikungunya virus is endemic in 110 countries and the World Health Organization estimates that it has caused more than 2 million cases of crippling acute and chronic arthritis globally since it re-emerged in 2005. Chikungunya virus outbreaks have occurred in Africa, Asia, Indian Ocean islands, South Pacific islands, Europe, and the Americas.

Background: Over the past 20 years, over 5 million cases of chikungunya, a mosquito-transmitted viral disease, have been reported in over 110 countries. Until recently, preventative strategies for chikungunya were largely ineffective, relying on vector control and individual avoidance of mosquito bites.
Methods: This review outlines the preclinical and clinical efficacy and safety data that led to the approval of VLA1553 (IXCHIQ®), a live-attenuated vaccine against chikungunya disease.

Background: Chikungunya is a serious and debilitating viral infection with a significant disease burden. VLA1553 (IXCHIQ®) is a live-attenuated vaccine licensed for active immunization for prevention of disease caused by chikungunya virus (CHIKV).
Methods: Immunogenicity following a single dose of VLA1553 was evaluated in healthy adults aged ≥18 years in two Phase 3 trials [N = 656 participants (per protocol analysis set)].
