About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity and Safety of Meningococcal (Serogroups A, C, Y and W-135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine (Menactra®) in Children Aged 4 to 6 Years in the US When Administered Concomitantly With a Fifth Dose Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoids and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the concomitant administration of Menactra® vaccine and DAPTACEL® vaccine.

The main objectives are:

Immunogenicity:

To evaluate the antibody responses to both vaccines when Menactra vaccine is given concomitantly with DAPTACEL® compared to when either vaccine is given alone.

Safety:

To evaluate the rate of local and systemic reactions when DAPTACEL® and Menactra vaccines are administered concomitantly compared to when each vaccine is given alone.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Antibodies Against Diphtheria and Tetanus at ≥ 1.0 IU/mL After DAPTACEL Vaccination

    Serum antibody titers were assessed for diphtheria by a seroneutralization assay and for tetanus by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.

    Measured: Day 30 post-vaccination (Visit 1)

  2. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Antibodies Against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 After Menactra Vaccination at Visit 1.

    Serum antibody titers against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 were assessed by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (SBA HC)

    Measured: Day 30 post-vaccination (Visit 1)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) of Antibodies Against the Pertussis Antigens After DAPTACEL Vaccination at Visit 1

    Serum antibody titers against pertussis were assessed for pertussis toxoid (PT), filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), Fimbriae types 2 and 3 (FIM), and pertactin (RN) by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    Measured: Day 30 post-vaccination 1

  2. Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Human Complement Geometric Mean Titers for Serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 After Menactra Vaccination

    Serum antibody titers against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 were assessed by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (SBA HC)

    Measured: Day 30 post-vaccination

  3. Number of Participants Reporting Fever When DAPTACEL and Menactra Vaccines Were Administered Concomitantly and Those Reporting When DAPTACEL Was Administered With IPOL Vaccine

    Fever was defined as a maximum oral temperature of ≥ 100.4ºF.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 7 post-vaccination at Visit 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine in people with Meningococcal Meningitis and Tetanus, run by Sanofi at 26 sites in United States.

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 14 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 24 Aug 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 23 Aug 2011). 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 Participants With Antibodies Against Diphtheria and Tetanus at ≥ 1.0 IU/mL After DAPTACEL Vaccination (time frame: Day 30 post-vaccination (Visit 1)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Aug 2011.
