What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Subjects With Severe (Grade 3) Unsolicited Adverse Events

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Grade 3 AE = an AE which prevented normal, everyday activities.

    Measured: During the 31-day (Days 0-30) post-vaccination period

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Adverse Events

    Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = pain that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 30 millimeters (mm) of injection site (Mencevax ACWY 2-5 YOA Group) and beyond 50 millimeters (mm) of injection site (Mencevax ACWY 6-17 YOA Group and Mencevax ACWY ≥ 18 YOA Group).

    Measured: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  2. Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were drowsiness, fever [defined as axillary temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)], irritability and loss of appetite. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 drowsiness = drowsiness that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever > 39.0 °C. Grade 3 irritability = crying that could not be comforted/prevented normal activity. Grade 3 loss of appetite = not eating at all. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  3. Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, fever [defined as axillary temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)], gastrointestinal symptoms and headache. Any = occurrence of the symptom reported irrespective of intensity grade and causal relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever > 39.0 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  4. Number of Subjects With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

    Measured: During the 31-day (Days 0-30) post-vaccination period

  5. Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life-threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.

    Measured: During the entire study period (from Day 0 to Month 1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Mencevax ACWY in people with Infections, Meningococcal, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 8 sites in Philippines.

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 4 inclusion and 8 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 8 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Philippines. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 14 Mar 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Number of Subjects With Severe (Grade 3) Unsolicited Adverse Events (time frame: During the 31-day (Days 0-30) post-vaccination period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 8 Jun 2018.
