What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject who had anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) antibody titers equal to or above (≥) the cut-off value of 1:8. The persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies was evaluated using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) titers. The blood analyses were performed at the GSK Biologicals' laboratory.

    Measured: At Month 24 post primary dose

  2. Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject who had anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) antibody titers equal to or above (≥) the cut-off value of 1:8. The persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies was evaluated using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) titers. The blood analyses for this timepoint were performed solely at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory.

    Measured: At Month 36 post primary dose

  3. Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject who had anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) antibody titers equal to or above (≥) the cut-off value of 1:8. The persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies was evaluated using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) titers. The blood analyses for this timepoint were performed solely at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory.

    Measured: At Month 48 post primary dose

  4. Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups

    A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject who had anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) antibody titers equal to or above (≥) the cut-off value of 1:8. The persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies was evaluated using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) titers. The blood analyses for this timepoint were performed solely at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory.

    Measured: At Month 60 post primary dose

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of Seropositive Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups

    A seropositive subject was defined as a subject who had the anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) antibody titers equal to or above (≥) the cut-off value of 1:128. The persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies was evaluated using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) titers. The blood analyses were performed at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory and at GSK Biologicals' laboratory.

    Measured: At Months 24, 36, 48 and 60 post primary dose

  2. Antibody Titers Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups

    Seropositivity status was defined as the anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) titers equal to or above the cut-off value of 1:128. Antibody titers were presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs). The blood analyses were performed at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory and at GSK Biologicals' laboratory.

    Measured: At Months 24, 36, 48 and 60 post primary dose

  3. Number of Subjects With Antibody Concentrations Against the Vaccine Polysaccharides

    Antibody concentrations against polysaccharide A (anti-PSA), polysaccharide C (anti-PSC), polysaccharide W-135 (anti-PSW-135) and polysaccharide Y (anti-PSY) assessed were equal to or above (≥) the cut-off values of 0.3 micrograms/milliliter (µg/mL ) and 2.0 micrograms/milliliter (µg/mL). Concentration of antibodies was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    Measured: At Month 24 post primary dose

  4. Antibody Concentrations Against the Vaccine Polysaccharides

    Antibody concentrations against polysaccharide A (anti-PSA), polysaccharide C (anti-PSC), polysaccharide W-135 (anti-PSW-135) and polysaccharide Y (anti-PSY) assessed were equal to or above (≥) the cut-off values of 0.3 micrograms/milliliter (µg/mL ) and 2.0 micrograms/milliliter (µg/mL). Concentration of antibodies was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    Measured: At Month 24 post primary dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Blood Sampling in people with Infections, Meningococcal, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 5 sites in 2 countries.

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 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 12 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in India, Philippines. 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 12 Apr 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 Seroprotected Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal Serogroups (time frame: At Month 24 post primary dose). The study lists 4 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 12 Apr 2017.
