Safety of and Immune Response of a 2-dose Regimen of rDEN1delta30 Dengue Virus Vaccine

Summary

Dengue fever, caused by dengue viruses, is a major health problem in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of and immune response to a 2-dose regimen of a new monovalent dengue virus vaccine. This study will test the dengue virus vaccine DEN1delta30 in healthy adults.
