First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests a dengue vaccine in adults aged 60 to 79 and compares their immune response and safety to adults aged 40 to 59. About 997 healthy participants will receive one dose of the Butantan dengue vaccine. The goal is to see if the vaccine works as well in older adults as it does in younger adults.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Butantan dengue vaccine (live attenuated virus for serotypes 1-4)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show the vaccine is safe and effective for older adults, expanding protection against dengue to a vulnerable age group.

What could go wrong

This is a non-inferiority trial comparing age groups, not a final efficacy study. The vaccine may not work as well in older adults, and side effects could differ.
