About this study

Official title: Evaluate Non-Inferiority and Persistence of the Immune Response of GSK Biologicals' Meningococcal Vaccine 134612 Versus Meningitec™ or Mencevax™ ACWY in Healthy Subjects (1-10 Years of Age)

This study has 2 phases, a vaccination phase and a long-term follow-up phase. In the vaccination phase of this study, the new meningococcal vaccine 134612 will be evaluated in children using Mencevax™ ACWY (in children above 2 years) or Meningitec™ (in children below 2 years) as controls. In the long-term follow-up phase of the study, the long-term protection offered by the vaccines will be assessed up to 5 years after vaccination.

Subjects will be randomized in the primary vaccination phase of the study; no new subjects will be enrolled during the long-term follow-up phase of the study.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be enrolled in 3 age strata. Subjects including and above two years of age will receive either GSK Biologicals meningococcal vaccine 134612 or Mencevax™ ACWY, subjects below two years of age will receive either GSK Biologicals meningococcal vaccine 134612 or Meningitec™. All subjects will have 7 blood samples taken: prior and one month after vaccination and one, two, three, four and five years after vaccination.

The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, September 2007.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GSK Biolgicals' meningococcal vaccine 134612 (Nimenrix), Mencevax™ ACWY and Meningitec™ in people with Infections, Meningococcal, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 11 sites in Finland.

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 5 inclusion and 18 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 4 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 11 sites in Finland. 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 4 Jun 2018). 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 Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Rabbit Complement Against Neisseria Meningitides Serogroups A, C, W-135, Y (rSBA-MenA, rSBA-MenC, rSBA-MenW-135 and rSBA-MenY) Antibodies Vaccine Response (time frame: One Month after vaccination). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00427908, 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 4 Jun 2018.
