Chikungunya: a major public health threat

Mosquito-transmitted disease with potentially debilitating consequences

Aedes aegypti

Aedes albopictus

  • Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes1
  • Often causes large, explosive outbreaks with high attack rates, affecting one-third to three-quarters of the population1; difficult to predict next outbreaks2
  • Outbreaks have occurred in Asia, Africa and across Latin America1 with the potential for it to happen in the U.S. and Europe2,4
  • Highest areas of risk of infection for travelers include the Americas, parts of Africa, and Southeast Asia3
  • Returning infected travelers can trigger local transmission in areas where relevant mosquitoes are established (e.g. Southern U.S./Europe)2
  • High burden of disease: outbreaks can have substantial health-economic impact; infection can progress to severe chronic symptoms in many patients4

No cure; treatment is symptomatic and supportive only

Without a vaccine, prevention is limited to protection

against mosquito bites and vector control

Licensure Pathway for Chikungunya Vaccines Accelerated approval pathway agreed with regulators for chikungunya vaccines

  • Classical efficacy studies for chikungunya vaccines are considered unfeasible1,2
    • Unpredictable and short-lived outbreaks
    • Logistical boundaries
    • Acceptable timeframes & cost barriers
  • In the US, chikungunya vaccines can be licensed following the
    "accelerated approval" pathway
    • Other regulators also agreed to licensure based on serological endpoints
  • FDA-agreedsurrogate endpoint "Seroresponse Rate":
    • Rate of subjects achieving a neutralizing antibody titer of ≥150 in a µPRNT50 assay2
