The aim of this study was to document the immunogenicity and safety of a booster dose of IMOJEV administered at least 12 months after the primary dose.
Primary objective:
- To describe the immune response to Japanese Encephalitis (JE) before and 28 days after a booster dose of IMOJEV administered at least 12 months after primary vaccination with IMOJEV.
Exploratory objectives:
- To describe the safety profile of a booster dose of IMOJEV® .

- Percentage of Participants With JE Seroprotection Before and Following a Booster Dose of IMOJEV Given One Year After Primary Immunization [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-booster) and Day 28 post-booster injection ]JE virus neutralizing antibodies were measured using a 50% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT50). Seroprotection status for antibody levels against JE virus before and after IMOJEV vaccination was defined as antibody titers ≥ 10 (1/dilution).
- Percentage of Participants With JE Seroconversion Following a Booster Dose of IMOJEV Given One Year After Primary Immunization [ Time Frame: Day 28 post-booster injection ]JE virus neutralizing antibodies were measured using PRNT50. Seroconversion was defined as a pre-vaccination titer <10 (1/dilution) and post-vaccination titer ≥10 (1/dilution, or pre-vaccination titer ≥10 (1/dilution) and a ≥4-fold increase of titers from pre- to post-vaccination.
- Summary of Geometric Mean Titers of JE Virus Antibodies Following a Booster Dose of IMOJEV Given One Year After Primary Immunization [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-booster) and Day 28 post-booster injection ]JE virus neutralizing antibodies were measured using PRNT50 test.
- Summary of Geometric Mean Titer Ratios of JE Virus Antibodies Following a Booster Dose of IMOJEV Given One Year After Primary Immunization [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-booster) and Day 28 post-booster injection ]JE virus neutralizing antibodies were measured using PRNT50.
- Percentage of Participants With JE Seroprotection Before and After a Booster Dose of IMOJEV Given At Different Intervals After Primary Immunization [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-booster) and Day 28 post-booster injection ]JE virus neutralizing antibodies were measured using PRNT50. Seroprotection was defined as neutralizing antibody titer ≥ 10 (1/dilution).
- Percentage of Participants With JE Seroconversion Following a Booster Dose of IMOJEV Given At Different Intervals After Primary Immunization [ Time Frame: Day 28 post-booster injection ]JE virus neutralizing antibodies were measured using PRNT50. Seroconversion was defined as a pre-vaccination titer <10 (1/dilution) and post-vaccination titer ≥10 (1/dilution, or pre-vaccination titer ≥10 (1/dilution) and a ≥4 fold increase from pre- to post-vaccination.
- Summary of Geometric Mean Titers of JE Virus Antibodies Following a Booster Dose of IMOJEV At Different Intervals After Primary Immunization [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-booster) and Day 28 post-booster injection ]JE virus neutralizing antibodies were measured using PRNT50.
- Summary of Geometric Mean Titer Ratios of JE Virus Antibodies Following a Booster Dose of IMOJEV Given At Different Intervals After Primary Immunization [ Time Frame: Day 0 (pre-booster) and Day 28 post-booster injection ]JE virus neutralizing antibodies were measured using PRNT50.
