Study of a treatment for newborns exposed to chikungunya
Part of Brain & nervous system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new treatment (PC-CHIK-V) for newborns whose mothers had chikungunya around the time of birth. The goal is to see if the treatment can prevent or reduce the infection in babies. Babies who are not treated will also be followed for comparison.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Baby's mother had chikungunya between 2 days before birth and 2 days after birth.
- Baby is hospitalized in a special newborn intensive care unit (Level III) in Mayotte or at the University Hospital of La Réunion.
- Treatment must be given within 12 hours of birth (if mother's infection was before delivery) or within 12 hours of diagnosis (if infection discovered after birth).
- Parents must give written permission for the baby to join the treatment group, or agree to data collection for the observation group.

This study follows pregnant women who received the VLA1553 vaccine (for chikungunya) to see how it affects them and their babies. It compares them to pregnant women who received a different vaccine approved during pregnancy.
This study tests a new vaccine to see if it's safe and helps protect against chikungunya virus (a mosquito-borne illness causing fever and joint pain). It's for healthy adults ages 18 to 60 who haven't recently traveled to areas with similar viruses or received certain other vaccines.
This study looks at how well the VLA1553 vaccine prevents chikungunya disease in parts of Brazil where the vaccine is being offered as part of a pilot program. If you live in one of those areas and have had symptoms that might be chikungunya, this study will use your health records and blood tests to check how effective the vaccine is.
This study is for people who are eligible for the chikungunya vaccine in La Réunion. It looks at how well the vaccine works in real life, if it’s safe, and how your body responds to it.
This study looks for Chikungunya virus in the semen of men who are currently sick with the virus, to understand how long it stays there.
This study looks at patients with suspected, probable, or confirmed arbovirus infections (like dengue, chikungunya, or Zika) to understand what factors lead to hospitalization and how severe the illness can be. It may include adults, children, and even newborns if they might have been exposed.
