About this study

Official title: Persistence of Antibodies After GSK Biologicals' Meningococcal Vaccine GSK134612 in Toddlers

Subjects were previously vaccinated at 12 to 23 months of age. This extension study starts 24 months after vaccination and the subjects who were vaccinated in the primary study will be enrolled in this extension phase. No new subjects will be enrolled.

Read the detailed description

This study will assess the long-term protection offered by the new meningococcal vaccine GSK 134612 compared to Meningitec™ up to 4 years after vaccination of toddlers. Subjects were previously vaccinated at 12 to 23 months of age with GSK Biologicals' meningococcal vaccine GSK 134612 or Meningitec™. All subjects received at least one dose of Priorix-Tetra™. This extension phase starts 24 months after vaccination and the subjects who were vaccinated in the primary study will be enrolled in this extension study. No new subjects will be enrolled. The subjects will have a blood sample taken at 24, 36 and 48 months after primary vaccination.

At Year 4 subjects will be boosted with the same meningococcal vaccine as given in the primary study, i.e. either the new meningococcal vaccine GSK 134612 or Meningitec™. Blood samples will be taken 1 and 12 months after the booster vaccination.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Meningococcal vaccine GSK134612 and Meningitec™ in people with Infections, Meningococcal, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 14 sites in Finland.

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 4 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 26 Feb 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in Finland. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 6 Aug 2019). 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 Serum Bactericidal Assay /Activity (rSBA) Against Neisseria Meningitidis Serogroup A, C, W-135 and Y (Using Baby Rabbit Complement) Titres ≥ the Cut-off (time frame: At Month 24 post primary vaccination). 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 NCT00955682, 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 26 Feb 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
