About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Persistence of Bactericidal Antibodies in Adolescents and Adults Who Received a Single Dose of Menactra® Four to Eight Years Earlier

To evaluate the persistence of bactericidal antibodies in adolescents and adults who received one dose of Menactra® vaccine approximately four to eight years earlier

Read the detailed description

Subjects who received one dose of Menactra® or Menomune® in study MTA04, MTA12, MTA19 (NCT00777790), or MTA21 (NCT00777257) will be eligible for enrollment in trial this study. All eligible subjects will provide a blood sample at Visit 1, after which their participation in the study will be terminated. An age-matched meningococcal-vaccine naïve control group will be recruited to provide a blood sample for baseline antibody level evaluation.

No vaccine will be administered in this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Meningococcal Infections and Meningitis, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 20 sites 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 6 inclusion and 10 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 20 sites 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Jan 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?

Percentage of Participants With Serum Bactericidal Antibody Titers for Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 at ≥ 8 and ≥ 128 at Enrollment (time frame: Day 0). 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.
