Safety and immunogenicity of the investigational V184 chikungunya vaccine will be tested in participants with history of chikungunya infection. Initially 21 to 50 year old participants will be enrolled; after favorable review of safety data, participants aged 51 to 65 will be enrolled.
This will be a randomized double-blind interventional clinical study. This study proposes to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the investigational V184 live recombinant measles-vectored chikungunya vaccine delivered in 2 vaccinations, 28 days apart compared with saline placebo. After providing informed consent, individuals will be screened for eligibility including verification of previous exposure to chikungunya virus. They will then be randomized in a double-blind fashion to receive either V184 or saline placebo in a 1:1 ratio.

Number of Participants With Solicited Adverse Events (AEs)
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence temporally associated with the use of the treatment that did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. "Solicited AEs" included fever, fatigue, headache, malaise, myalgia, nausea/vomiting, joint pain or injection site itching, pain/tenderness, erythema/redness or induration/swelling that occurred within 7 days of vaccination. The number of participants with solicited AEs following Vaccination 1 (Day 0) or Vaccination 2 (Day 28) were reported for each group.
Time frame: Up to 7 days after vaccination (up to Day 35)
Number of Participants With Unsolicited AEs
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence temporally associated with the use of the treatment that did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. "Unsolicited AEs" were defined as events reported within 7 days after each vaccination and not defined as solicited AE, and all AEs reported more than 7 days after vaccination. The number of participants with unsolicited AEs were reported for each group.
Time frame: Up to Day 196
Number of Participants With Solicited and Unsolicited AEs of Grade 2 or Higher According to the 2007 Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials (2007)
An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence temporally associated with the use of the treatment that did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. "Solicited AEs" included fever, fatigue, headache, malaise, myalgia, nausea/vomiting, joint pain or injection site itching, pain/tenderness, erythema/redness or induration/swelling that occurred within 7 days of vaccination. "Unsolicited AEs" were defined as events reported within 7 days after each vaccination and not defined as solicited AE, and all AEs reported more than 7 days after vaccination. AEs were graded by the investigator for severity as per the FDA Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adults Enrolled in Vaccine Clinical Trials (2007), where Grade 1=mild; Grade 2=moderate; Grade 3=severe; Grade 4=potentially life threatening. A higher grade indicates increased severity of AE. The number of participants with solicited and unsolicited AEs of grade 2 (moderate) or higher were reported for each group.

Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) of Serum Neutralizing Antibodies (nAb) to V184 Over Time
Serum samples were collected and the titers of serum neutralization antibodies were assessed. GMTs were calculated using a mixed effects model with treatment (V184 versus placebo), visit and age group, and treatment visit interaction as fixed factors and participant as a random effect. GMFR was defined as the geometric mean of the ratio of concentration at specified timepoints after vaccination divided by concentration at baseline (Day 0).
Time frame: Days 0, 28, 56, and 196
