About this study

Official title: Open Clinical Study to Assess the Immune Response and Safety of a Booster Dose (5th Dose) of a Combination Vaccine Against Diphteria-Tetanus-Pertussis-Polio Given to Healthy Adolescents 15-16 Years of Age.

An open clinical trial to study the immune response and safety after giving a booster dose (5th Dose) of a combination vaccine against Diphteria-Tetanus-Pertussis-Polio to healthy adolescents 15-16 Years of age. The first three doses were given during the first year of life, according to the Norwegian child immunization program. The fourth dose was given in a previous clinical trial performed in 1998 when the children were 6-7 years old.

In 2006 there was a change in the child immunization program in Norway: a fourth dose of a Combination Vaccine Against Diphteria-Tetanus-Pertussis-Polio is given to children 6-7 years old.

This study will give us information if there is need for an additional dose (5th dose) of a combination vaccine, containing the pertussis components, before the adolescents are leaving secondary school.

What is being measured

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

  1. To measure vaccine specific antibody responses after a fifth dose of a combination vaccine against diphteria-tetanus-pertussis-polio. To register local and systemic reactions after vaccination.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To measure vaccine specific antibody responses approximately eight years after a fourth dose of a combination vaccine against diphteria-tetanus-pertussis-polio.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Boostrix polio in people with Diphtheria and Tetanus, run by Norwegian Institute of Public Health at 1 site in Norway.

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 3 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed 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?

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?

To measure vaccine specific antibody responses after a fifth dose of a combination vaccine against diphteria-tetanus-pertussis-polio. To register local and systemic reactions after vaccination.. 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 9 Aug 2007.
