What is being measured

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

  1. Geometric Mean Titer of the Meningococcal B Vaccine Against the Different Strains at One Month After First, Second and Third Vaccination.

    Geometric mean titers(GMT) and the respective confidence intervals measured after each vaccination against the three different meningococcal strains.

    Measured: One month after vaccinations

  2. Percentages of Participants With Serum Bactericidal Activity of the Meningococcal B Vaccine Against Different Strains at One Month After First, Second and Third Vaccination.

    Percentage of participants with serum bactericidal activity (SBA) of the Meningococcal ACWY vaccine at one month after vaccination against A, C, W-135 and Y strains. Bactericidal activity (% ≥ 1:4, i.e., percentage of subjects with BCA titer ≥ 1:4; % ≥ 1:8, i.e. percentage of subjects with BCA titer ≥ 1:8) against a panel of genetically distinct meningococcal B strains:

    • prior to the first vaccination
    • 30 days following the first, second, prior to the third and 30 days after the third vaccination

    Measured: One month after vaccinations

  3. Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of the Meningococcal ACWY Vaccine at One Month After Vaccination.

    Geometric mean titer (GMT) of the Meningococcal ACWY Vaccine at One Month After the Immunization against the A, C, W-135 and Y strains.

    Measured: One month after vaccinations

  4. Percentage of Participants With Serum Bactericidal Activity of the Meningococcal ACWY Vaccine at One Month After Vaccination

    Percentage of participants with serum bactericidal activity (SBA) of the Meningococcal ACWY vaccine at one month after vaccination against A, C, W-135 and Y strains. Bactericidal activity (% ≥ 1:4, i.e., percentage of subjects with BCA titer ≥ 1:4; % ≥ 1:8, i.e. percentage of subjects with BCA titer ≥ 1:8) against a panel of genetically distinct meningococcal B strains:

    • prior to the first vaccination
    • 30 days following the first, second, prior to the third and 30 days after the third vaccination

    Measured: One month after vaccinations

  5. Number of Subjects Who Reported Solicited Local and Systemic Reactions Post Vaccination.

    The number of subjects who reported solicited reactions after the administration of the Meningococcal B vaccine at a 0, 2, 6-month schedule and the administration of the Meningococcal A, C, W, and Y vaccine at month 7.

    Measured: One month after vaccinations

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Men ACWY CRM and 4CMenB in people with Meningococcal Disease, run by Novartis Vaccines at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 inclusion and 5 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 1 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. 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 8 Jul 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?

Geometric Mean Titer of the Meningococcal B Vaccine Against the Different Strains at One Month After First, Second and Third Vaccination. (time frame: One month after vaccinations). 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 NCT00560313, 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 1 Apr 2016.
