Results

Adverse events

Results from the phase I ZIKA-001 study showed that the GLS 5700 vaccine was well tolerated and no significant safety concerns were observed.

Immunogenicity

In the phase I ZIKA-001 trial, high levels of binding antibodies were measured in 100% of evaluated subjects, after three doses of GLS 5700 vaccine regimen, and in 95% after two doses of vaccine. Further, neutralizing antibodies were observed in more than 95% of the serum samples that were assayed on neuronal-cell targets. Earlier reported data showed a robust antibody response in 95% and 40% of the volunteers by two doses or a single dose of vaccine, respectively. The parallel-assignment trial enrolled 40 volunteers for the prevention of zika virus infection [2] [3] .
