NCT ID NCT05691530

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This Phase 1 trial tested a new live-attenuated dengue vaccine in 127 healthy adults aged 18 to 59. The goal was to see how safe the vaccine is and how the immune system responds, especially in people who have had dengue before. Participants received one shot and were monitored for side effects and antibody levels over several months.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
rDEN3Δ30/31-7164 vaccine (a weakened live dengue virus)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help develop a safer, more effective dengue vaccine that works for people with different levels of prior exposure.
What could go wrong
This is an early Phase 1 trial with only 127 participants, so results may not apply to larger populations. The vaccine may cause side effects or fail to produce strong immunity.
