What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Subjects With hSBA Titer ≥1:8 Against Serogroup A, C, W and Y One Month After Toddler Vaccination of MenACWY-CRM

    Immunogenicity was measured as the percentage of subjects who achieved hSBA titer ≥1:8 against meningococcal serogroup A, C, W and Y, evaluated by serum bactericidal assay using human complement (hSBA), at baseline and one month after toddler dose of MenACWY-CRM administered at 12 months of age.

    The immune response was considered sufficient if the lower limit of the two-sided 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the percentage of subjects with hSBA titer ≥1:8, at one month after toddler vaccination, was greater than 85% for the serogroup C, W, or Y and greater than 80% for the serogroup A.

    Measured: Baseline and one month after fourth-dose of MenACWY-CRM

Secondary outcomes (11)

    Measured: Baseline and one month after third infant dose of MenACWY-CRM

  4. Percentage of Subjects With Seroresponse to Routine Concomitant Vaccinations One Month After Infant Series, When Routine Vaccines Are Administered With MenACWY-CRM Compared With When Routine Vaccines Are Given Alone

    The immune seroresponse to routine concomitant vaccination was measured as the percentages of subjects with pre-specified cut-off limit of ≥0.1 IU/mL (Diphtheria and Tetanus); ≥0.15 μg/mL (Hib); ≥0.35 μg/mL (Pneumococcal antigens, PnC); and ≥10 mIU/mL (Hepatitis B), evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at one month after 3 doses of infant series vaccination administered at 2, 4 and 6 months of age.

    The immune response to pertussis antigens (PT, FHA, Pertactin, FIM) was measured as percentage of subjects with seroresponse (in initially seronegative infants, ≥4 times the lower limit of quantification (LLQ); in initially seropositive infants, at least 4 times prevaccination concentration) by ELISA and percentage of subjects with titer ≥1:8 (Polio types 1, 2, and 3) by neutralization test (NT) one month after 3 doses of infant series vaccination administered at 2, 4 and 6 months of age.

    Measured: One month after third dose of routine infant series vaccination

  5. Geometric Mean Concentrations Of Antibodies Against Routine Concomitant Vaccinations One Month After Infant Series, When Routine Vaccines Are Administered With MenACWY-CRM Compared With When Routine Vaccines Are Given Alone

    The immune response was measured as the geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) of antibodies directed against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (PT, FHA, Pertactin, FIM), hepatitis B, Hib, polio (type 1, 2 and 3) and pneumococcal (PnC 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F and 23F) antigens when routine vaccines are administered concomitantly with MenACWY-CRM compared with when routine vaccines are given alone, one month after 3 doses of infant series vaccination at 2, 4 and 6 months of age.

    Measured: Baseline and Six months after third infant dose of MenACWY-CRM

  10. Percentage of Subjects With Four-fold Increase in hSBA Titers Against Serogroup A, C, W and Y One Month After Toddler Vaccination of MenACWY-CRM

    The immune response was measured as the percentage of subjects who achieved four-fold increase in hSBA titers against meningococcal serogroup A, C, W and Y one month after toddler dose of MenACWY-CRM administered at 12 months of age as compared to hSBA titers before the toddler vaccination.

    Measured: One month after MenACWY-CRM toddler vaccination

  11. Safety of MenACWY-CRM Vaccinations When Administered Concomitantly With Routine Vaccinations

    Safety of the study vaccines (MenACWY-CRM and other routine vaccines) was assessed in terms of the number of subjects who reported adverse events (AEs) and/or serious AEs per vaccine group at the following time points: entire study period, after infants vaccination (up to 7 months), between 2- and 4-months, between 4- and 6-months, between 6- and 12-months, between 7- and 12-months, 28 days after 12-month vaccination, and between 29 days after 12-month vaccination and study termination.

    Solicited reactions were not collected during this study. The safety analyses also included any AEs observed by study personnel within 15 minutes following vaccination. All AEs and SAEs were judged by the investigator as whether probably related, possibly related, or not related to vaccine.

    Measured: From day 1 to 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing MenACWY-CRM, DTaP-IPV/Hib and HBV in people with Meningococcal Disease, run by Novartis Vaccines at 46 sites in 3 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 7 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 21 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 46 sites in United States, Australia, Canada. 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 26 Mar 2014). 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 Subjects With hSBA Titer ≥1:8 Against Serogroup A, C, W and Y One Month After Toddler Vaccination of MenACWY-CRM (time frame: Baseline and one month after fourth-dose of MenACWY-CRM). 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 21 Apr 2014.
