About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity & Safety Study of GSK Biologicals' Meningococcal Vaccine GSK134612 Administered in Healthy Subjects Either Previously Primed With Mencevax™ ACWY or naïve to Meningococcal Vaccination.

In this study, subjects who were vaccinated with a meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine in a previous study (whose objectives \& outcome measures are presented in a separate protocol posting with NCT number = 00227422) will be vaccinated with a new vaccine using conjugation technology.

These subjects will be compared to subjects vaccinated with the new vaccine, but who were not previously vaccinated with a meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine.

Read the detailed description

GSK Biologicals has developed a meningococcal conjugate vaccine (GSK134612). This candidate vaccine has been shown to be well tolerated and immunogenic in toddlers, children aged 3-5 years, and adolescents/young adults. Repeated vaccinations with unconjugated meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine has shown to induce hyporesponsiveness to re-vaccination, this for serogroup C, and a recent publication suggest the same may be true for other serogroups.

This study will evaluate GSK Biologicals' candidate vaccine's ability to induce satisfactory immune response for the serogroups it contains across subjects 4.5 through 34 years of age who previously received a tetravalent meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine when aged 2-30 years. A non-randomised age-strata matched group of subjects, who have not previously received (or not received within the preceding 10 years) any meningococcal vaccine, will also be administered the GSK134612 vaccine for comparison.

What is being measured

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

  1. Meningococcal Serum Bactericidal Antibodies/Assay (rSBA) Titers

    For each antibody assessed (serogroups A, C, W, and Y) at the corresponding time point, titers were expressed as geometric mean titers (GMTs) and tabulated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

    Measured: One month post-vaccination (Month 1)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Meningococcal rSBA Titers

    For each antibody assessed (serogroups A, C, W, and Y) at the corresponding time point, titers were expressed as geometric mean titers (GMTs) and tabulated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

    Measured: Prior to vaccination (Day 0)

  2. Anti-meningococcal Polysaccharide (PS) Antibody Concentrations

    For each antibody assessed (serogroups A, C, W, and Y) at the corresponding time point, polysaccharide antibody concentrations were expressed as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) in micrograms per milliliter (µg/mL) and tabulated with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

    Measured: Prior to (Day 0) and one month post-vaccination (Month 1)

  3. Anti-tetanus Toxoid Antibody Concentrations

    Antibody concentrations were tabulated as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) in International Units per milliliter (IU/mL), with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

    Measured: Prior to (Day 0) and one month post-vaccination (Month 1)

  4. Number of Subjects With a Vaccine Response to Meningococcal Antigens A, C, W and Y

    Vaccine response defined as:

    For initially seronegative subjects: post-vaccination antibody titer ≥1:32 For initially seropositive subjects: post-vaccination antibody titer ≥4-fold the pre-vaccination antibody titer

    Measured: One month post-vaccination (Month 1)

  5. Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms

    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 100 millimeters (mm) of injection site.

    Measured: During the 4-day (Day 0 to Day 3) period after vaccination

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

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were arthralgia, fatigue, fever [defined as axillary temperature equal to or above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)], headache, myalgia, shivering and sweating. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. 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 (Day 0 to Day 3) period after vaccination

  7. Number of Subjects With Unsolicited Symptoms

    An unsolicited symptom 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 symptom regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

    Measured: Up to one month post-vaccination (Month 1)

  8. Number of Subjects Reporting Any Serious Adverse Events

    Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.

    Measured: Day 0 to study month 6

  9. Number of Subjects With Any Specific Adverse Events

    Specific adverse events comprised rash, new onset of chronic illnesses (NOCIs), conditions prompting emergency room (ER) visits and/or any event related to lack of vaccine efficacy (i.e. documented meningococcal disease).

    Events related to lack of vaccine efficacy (i.e. meningococcal disease) were recorded, but because such events were life threatening and were thus reported as SAEs, these events were not analyzed or reported here separately.

    Measured: Day 0 to study month 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Meningococcal vaccine GSK134612 (Nimenrix) in people with Infections, Meningococcal, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Lebanon.

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 7 inclusion and 19 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 28 Dec 2018. 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 Lebanon. 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 28 Dec 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?

Meningococcal Serum Bactericidal Antibodies/Assay (rSBA) Titers (time frame: One month post-vaccination (Month 1)). 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 NCT00661557, 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 28 Dec 2018.
