What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With 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 50 millimeters (mm) of injection site. Relationship analysis was not performed.

    Measured: During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period following each dose and across doses

  2. Number of Subjects With Solicited General Symptoms

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, temperature [defined as axillary temperature equal to or above 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)], gastrointestinal symptoms (gastro) [nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and/or abdominal pain], headache, malaise and myalgia. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever ≥ 39.5 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period following each dose and across doses

  3. Number of Subjects With Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE 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 out-side the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination. Grade 3 AE = an AE which prevented normal, everyday activities. Related = AE assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: During the 30-day (Days 0-29) post-vaccination period

  4. Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    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: During the entire study period (from Day 0 up to Day 210)

  5. Number of Subjects With Normal Biochemical and Haematological Levels

    Among biochemical and haematological parameters assessed were alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], creatinine [CREA], haemoglobin [Hgb]. Levels of haematological/biochemical parameters assessed in terms of normal laboratory values were - normal, below and above.

  6. Number of Subjects With Normal Haematological Levels

    Among haematological parameters assessed were platelets [PLA], red blood cells [RBC] and white blood cells [WBC].

    Levels of haematological parameters assessed in terms of normal laboratory values were - normal, below and above.

    Measured: At Day 0, 7, 30, 37 and 60

  7. Number of Subjects With Biochemical and Haematological Above Normal Levels

    Among biochemical and haematological parameters assessed were alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], creatinine [CREA], haemoglobin [Hgb]. Levels of haematological/biochemical parameters assessed in terms of normal laboratory values were - normal, below and above.

    Measured: At Day 0, 7, 30, 37 and 60

    Measured: At Day 0, 7, 30, 37 and 60

  10. Number of Subjects With Haematological Levels Below Normal

    Among haematological parameters assessed were platelets [PLA], red blood cells [RBC] and white blood cells [WBC].

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Frequency of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Fusion Protein (M72) Specific Cluster of Differentiation 4/8 (CD4/8+) T Cells Expressing at Least Two Different Cytokines

    Among cytokines expressed were interleukin-2 [IL-2], interferon-gamma [IFN-γ], tumour necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α] and cluster of differentiation 40-ligand [CD40-L]. Analysis of cytokines expression was done by means of in vitro flow cytometry, using intracellular cytokine staining (ICS).

    Measured: At Day 0, 7, 30, 37, 60 and 210

  2. Frequency of M72 Specific CD4+ T Cells Expressing Any Combination of Cytokines

    Among cytokines expressed were interleukin-2 [IL-2], interferon-gamma [IFN-γ], tumour necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α] and cluster of differentiation 40-ligand [CD40-L], after background reduction stimulated by M72. Analysis of cytokines expression was done by means of in vitro flow cytometry, using intracellular cytokine staining (ICS).

    Measured: At Day 0, 7, 30, 37, 60 and 210

  3. Frequency of M72 Specific CD8+ T Cells Expressing Any Combination of Cytokines

    Among cytokines expressed were interleukin-2 [IL-2], interferon-gamma [IFN-γ], tumour necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-α] and cluster of differentiation 40-ligand [CD40-L], after background reduction stimulated by M72. Analysis of cytokines expression was done by means of in vitro flow cytometry, using intracellular cytokine staining (ICS).

    Measured: At Day 0, 7, 30, 37, 60 and 210

  4. Anti-M72 Specific Antibody Concentrations

    Antibody concentrations given in Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) units per millilitre (EL.U/mL) were expressed as Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs).

    Measured: At Day 0, 30, 60 and 210

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing GSK's investigational vaccine 692342 in people with Tuberculosis, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in South Africa.

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 11 inclusion and 14 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 17 Aug 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 South Africa. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 9 Jan 2017). 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?

Number of Subjects With Solicited Local Symptoms (time frame: During the 7-day (Days 0-6) post-vaccination period following each dose and across doses). The study lists 10 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 NCT00950612, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 17 Aug 2018.
