Modeling the long-term persistence of neutralizing antibody in children and toddlers after vaccination with live attenuated Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus vaccine.

ABSTRACT: The live-attenuated Japanese encephalitis chimeric virus vaccine JE-CV (IMOJEV®, Sanofi Pasteur) elicits a robust antibody response in children, which wanes over time. Clinical efficacy is based on a correlate of protection against JE infection defined as neutralizing antibody levels equal to or greater than the threshold of 10 (1/dil). Information on the duration of persistence of the JE antibody response above this threshold is needed. We constructed statistical models using 5-year persistence data from a randomised clinical trial (NCT00621764) in children (2-5 years old) primed with inactivated JE vaccine who received a booster dose of JE-CV, and in JE-naïve toddlers (12-24 months) who received a JE-CV single dose primary vaccination. Models were constructed using a Bayesian Monte-Carlo
