ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants Reporting Local Reactogenicity Signs and Symptoms for 7 Days After Each Product Administration (Part A and Part B)7 days after each product administration
Participants recorded the occurrence of solicited symptoms on a diary card for 7 days after each study product administration and reviewed the diary card with clinic staff at a follow up visit. Participants were counted once for each symptom at the worst severity if they indicated experiencing the symptom more than one time at any severity during the reporting period. The number reported for "Any Local Symptom" is the number of participants reporting any local symptom at the worst severity. Reactogenicity grading (Mild, Moderate, Severe) was done using the Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials (FDA Guidance - September 2007).
PrimaryNumber of Participants Reporting Systemic Reactogenicity Signs and Symptoms for 7 Days After Each Product Administration (Part A and Part B)7 days after each product administration
Participants recorded the occurrence of solicited symptoms on a diary card for 7 days after each study product administration and reviewed the diary card with clinic staff at a follow up visit. Participants were counted once for each symptom at the worst severity if they indicated experiencing the symptom more than once at any severity during the reporting period. The number reported for "Any Systemic Symptom" is the number of participants reporting any systemic symptom at the worst severity. Reactogenicity grading (Mild, Moderate, Severe) was done using the Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventive Vaccine Clinical Trials (FDA Guidance - September 2007).
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory Measures of Safety (Part A)Day 0 after first product administration through Day 112
Any abnormal laboratory results recorded as unsolicited AEs are summarized. Safety laboratory parameters included: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), platelets, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Laboratory safety evaluations were scheduled at baseline and weeks 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 16. Institutional laboratory normals as well as the Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventative Vaccine Clinical Trials FDA Guidance, September 2007 were used.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Abnormal Laboratory Measures of Safety (Part B)Day 0 after first product administration through Day 308
Any abnormal laboratory results recorded as unsolicited AEs are summarized. Safety laboratory parameters included: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), white blood cells (WBC), red blood cells (RBC), hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), platelets, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Laboratory safety evaluations were scheduled at baseline and weeks 4, 8, 16, and 44. Institutional laboratory normals as well as the Toxicity Grading Scale for Healthy Adult and Adolescent Volunteers Enrolled in Preventative Vaccine Clinical Trials FDA Guidance, September 2007 were used.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Following Product Administration (Part A)Day 0 through Day 224
Any SAEs recorded from receipt of first study product administration through the last expected study visit at Day 224 are summarized. The relationship between a SAE and the study product was assessed by the investigator on the basis of his or her clinical judgment and the definitions outlined in the protocol.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Following Product Administration (Part B)Day 0 through Day 672
Any SAEs recorded from receipt of first study product administration through the last expected study visit at Day 672 are summarized. The relationship between a SAE and the study product was assessed by the investigator on the basis of his or her clinical judgment and the definitions outlined in the protocol.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With New Chronic Medical Conditions Following Product Administration (Part A)Day 0 through Day 224
New onset chronic medical conditions were reported from receipt of first study product administration through the last expected study visit at Day 224.The relationship between a chronic medical condition and the study product was assessed by the investigator on the basis of his or her clinical judgment and the definitions outlined in the protocol.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With New Chronic Medical Conditions Following Product Administration (Part B)Day 0 through Day 672
New onset chronic medical conditions were reported from receipt of first study product administration through the last expected study visit at Day 672.The relationship between a chronic medical condition and the study product was assessed by the investigator on the basis of his or her clinical judgment and the definitions outlined in the protocol.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With One or More Unsolicited Non-Serious Adverse Events (AEs) Following Product Administration (Part A and Part B)Day 0 through the one month visit that follows the last product administration (Visit 05), 84 days for both Parts A and B
Unsolicited AEs and attribution assessments were recorded in the study database from receipt of the first study product administration through the one month visit that followed the last study product administration (Visit 05), 84 days for both Parts A and B for participants who received all three study product administrations. If a participant received the first and second product administrations but not the third, then the time frame was through 56 days (Visit 04). If a participant only received the first product administration but not the second or third, then the time frame was through 28 days (Visit 03). The relationship between an AE and the study product was assessed by the investigator on the basis of his or her clinical judgment and the definitions outlined in the protocol. A participant with multiple experiences of the same event is counted once using the event of worst severity.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Virologically Confirmed Cases of ZIKV (Part B Only)Day 0 through Day 672
Virologically confirmed Zika infection, irrespective of symptoms, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in blood or in urine were recorded from receipt of first study product administration through the last expected study visit.
