About this study
Official title: A Phase IIIb, Open-Label, Controlled, Multi-Center Study to Evaluate the Persistence Of Antibody Responses Among Children Who Previously Received Novartis MenACWY Conjugate Vaccine
The primary objective was to evaluate the persistence of bactericidal antibodies in children 40 and 60 months of age previously enrolled in the V59P14 (NCT00474526) study who received Novartis MenACWY Conjugate Vaccine. The study also enrolled age-matched subjects who have never received any meningococcal vaccine (naïve subjects) to serve as a control group. In addition, the response of a booster dose at 60 months was evaluated.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The primary objective was to evaluate the persistence of bactericidal antibodies in children 40 and 60 months of age previously enrolled in the V59P14 (NCT00474526) study who received Novartis MenACWY Conjugate Vaccine. The study also enrolled age-matched subjects who have never received any meningococcal vaccine (naïve subjects) to serve as a control group. In addition, the response of a booster dose at 60 months was evaluated.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Meningococcal (groups A, C, W, and Y) oligosaccharide diphtheria CRM-197 conjugate vaccine in people with Meningococcal Meningitis, run by Novartis Vaccines at 19 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 19 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.
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 14 May 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?
Percentages of Subjects With Human Serum Bactericidal Assay (hSBA) Titers ≥ 1:8 Directed Against N. Meningitidis Serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y (time frame: Visit 9 (continuation from the parent study), 40-month visit.). 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?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01148017, 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 14 Aug 2017.
