6 months before receipt of a study vaccine or placebo, or plans to receive a blood
transfusion or blood products (including immunoglobulins) within 28 days following
receipt of study vaccine or placebo.

- Has participated in another clinical study of an investigational product within 6
months before signing the informed consent, or plans to participate in another
interventional clinical study at any time during the duration of the current clinical
study. Participants enrolled in observational studies may be included; these will be
reviewed on a case-by-case basis for approval by the Sponsor.

- Has planned donation of blood, eggs, or sperm at any time from signing the informed
consent through 90 days post-vaccination.

Summary
Brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to compare the dengue virus-neutralizing antibody
geometric mean titers (GMTs) for each of the 4 dengue serotypes (DENV1, DENV2, DENV3, and
DENV4) at Day 28 post-vaccination for participants administered the V181 Low-Potency Level
vaccine versus the V181 Mid-Potency Level vaccine. This study will also evaluate the safety
and tolerability of 3 different V181 potency level vaccines. The primary hypothesis of the
study is that the V181 Low-Potency Level vaccine is non-inferior to the V181 Mid-Potency
Level vaccine for each of the 4 dengue serotypes based on GMTs at Day 28 post-vaccination.
