As robust cellular responses are important for protection against dengue, this phase 2 study evaluated the kinetics and phenotype of T cell responses induced by TAK-003, a live-attenuated tetravalent dengue vaccine, in 4-16-year-old living in dengue-endemic countries (NCT02948829). Two hundred participants received TAK-003 on Days 1 and 90. Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) enzyme-linked immunospot assay [ELISPOT] and intracellular cytokine staining were used to analyze T cell response and functionality, using peptide pools representing non-structural (NS) proteins NS3 and NS5 matching DENV-1, -2, -3, and -4 and DENV-2 NS1. One month after the second TAK-003 dose (Day 120), IFN-γ ELISPOT T cell response rates against any peptide pool were 97.1% (95% CI: 93.4% to 99.1%), and similar for baseline dengue seropositive (96.0%) and seronegative (98.6%) participants. IFN-γ ELISPOT T cell response rates at Day 120 were 79.8%, 90.2%, 77.3%, and 74.0%, against DENV-1, -2, -3, and -4, respectively, and remained elevated through 3 years post-vaccination. Multifunctional CD4 and CD8 T cell responses against DENV-2 NS peptides were observed, independent of baseline serostatus: CD8 T cells typically secreted IFN-γ and TNF-α whereas CD4 T cells secreted ≥ 2 of IFN-γ, IL-2 and TNF-α cytokines. NAb titers and seropositivity rates remained substantially elevated through 3 years post-vaccination. Overall, TAK-003 was well tolerated and elicited durable T cell responses against all four DENV serotypes irrespective of baseline serostatus in children and adolescents aged 4-16 years living in dengue-endemic countries. TAK-003-elicited CD4 and CD8 T cells were multifunctional and persisted up to 3 years post-vaccination.
