About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of Intradermal, and Low-dose Subcutaneous vs Subcutaneous Administration of Menomune® - A/C/Y/W-135

The objective of this trial is to study the administration of the Menomune vaccine given intradermally and low-dose subcutaneously versus standard subcutaneously. This study will describe the immunogenicity of Menomune® - A/C/Y/W-135 administered subcutaneously (standard dose) versus intradermally over a dose range (1/10th, 2/10th, and 3/10th of standard dose) and a low dose (2/10th of standard dose) subcutaneously.

The secondary objective is to describe the safety of the subcutaneous (SC) and intradermal (ID) routes at different dosages

Read the detailed description

This trial will provide a proof of concept that a dose range of Menomune given ID can induce an immune response that is comparable to standard dosing by the SC route, and is equivalent or superior to a low dose given SC.

Subjects will be randomized according to a computer-generated randomization schedule to receive the vaccine by SC injection or by ID injection at different dosages.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With ≥ 4-Fold Rise in Antibody Titers

    Percentage of participants with a 4-fold rise in Serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR) antibody titers to each meningococcal serogroup from baseline to Day 28 post-vaccination.

    Measured: Baseline to 28 days post vaccination

  2. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for Each Meningococcal Serogroup at Baseline and 28 Days Post-vaccination.

    GMTs and their 95% confidence interval to the vaccine meningococcal serogroups at Day 0 and Day 28 post-vaccination.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 0) and Day 28 post-vaccination

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number and Intensity of Solicited Local and Systemic Reactions Post-vaccination.

    Participants with solicited local and systemic reactions and intensity within 7 days following vaccination with Menomune®

    Measured: Day 0 to 7 days post-vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Meningococcal Polysaccharide Groups A\C\Y\W-135 Combined in people with Meningococcal Infections and Meningitis, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 14 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 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 30 Apr 2009). 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?

Percentage of Participants With ≥ 4-Fold Rise in Antibody Titers (time frame: Baseline to 28 days post vaccination). 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 14 Apr 2016.
