Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age 18 years or older.
  • Diagnosis of chronic end-stage renal disease with maintenance on hemodialysis continuously for at least eight (8) weeks prior to enrollment.
  • Hemodialysis access using native vessel fistula or synthetic/heterologous graft (not catheter).
  • Expectation of compliance with protocol procedures, and visit schedule.
  • Negative serum pregnancy test in females of child-bearing potential (serum -HCG within 7 days prior to each study drug injection).
  • Written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Known serious S. aureus infection within 3 months of study entry.
  • Known recurrent S. aureus infection of the current graft.
  • Known active viral or bacterial infection or symptoms/signs consistent with such an infection with the two weeks prior to injection of investigational product. Mild intercurrent viral illness with a temperature of 100.6F or less does not require exclusion, if in the judgement of the investigator this illness will not interfere with the evaluation of the vaccine.
  • Known HIV infection (testing not required for protocol).
  • Known hypersensitivity or previous anaphylaxis to polysaccharides or polysaccharide-conjugate vaccines or to components of such vaccines.
  • Known or suspected abuse of any drugs, prescribed or illicit, in the past year.
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Current use of immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory drugs (including systemic glucocorticoids, chlorambucil, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclosporine, mycophenolate, human immune globulin in excess of 0.2 g/Kg per month, any monoclonal antibody specific for any human leukocyte subset or cytokine, or any interferon preparation), except low-dose physiologic replacement glucocorticoid therapy (Less than or equal to 10 mg of prednisone or equivalent per day).
  • Known malignancy or treatment for malignancy within the past six months, other than basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
  • Use of investigational drugs, products, or devices within 30 days prior to vaccine injection.
  • Presence of any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, places the subject at undue risk or potentially jeopardized the quality of the data to be generated.
  • Previous administration of StaphVAX

About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blinded Study to Evaluate Efficacy of StaphVAX, a Bivalent Staphylococcus Aureus Glycoconjugate Vaccine in Adults on Hemodialysis

Two part study testing the effectiveness and safety of StaphVAX vaccine in chronic hemodialysis patients against infection by Staphylococcus aureus.

Read the detailed description

Two part clinical trial designed to evaluate the efficacy of StaphVAX in adults on hemodialysis. Part A will evaluate the prevention of bacteremic infections in End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients during the interval between 3 and 35 weeks after a single dose of StaphVAX. Part B of this study is designed to assess immunogenicity of a second [booster] dose of vaccine in patients completing Part A, and the cumulative (Part A + B) efficacy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing S. aureus Type 5 and 8 Capsular Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine in people with Staphylococcal Infections and Kidney Failure, Chronic, run by Nabi Biopharmaceuticals.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2006. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Documented S. aureus invasive infection, weeks 3-35. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00071214, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jul 2006.
