What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Vaccine Response to Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Human Complement Against Neisseria Meningitidis Serogroup A, C, W-135 and Y (hSBA-MenA, hSBA-MenC, hSBA-MenW-135 and hSBA-MenY) Antibodies

    Vaccine response was defined as:

    • for initially seronegative subjects [with hSBA titer below (<) 1:4]: post-vaccination antibody titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:8 one month after vaccination;
    • for initially seropositive subjects (with hSBA titer ≥ 1:4): post-vaccination antibody titer ≥ 4-fold the pre-vaccination antibody titer one month after vaccination.

    Measured: One month after vaccination (Month 1)

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Number of Subjects With hSBA-MenA, hSBA-MenC, hSBA-MenW-135 and hSBA-MenY Antibody Titers ≥ the Cut-off Value

    The cut-off value for the hSBA-Men titers was greater than or equal to (≥) 1:4.

    Measured: Prior to (PRE) and one month after vaccination (Month 1)

  2. Number of Subjects With hSBA-MenA, hSBA-MenC, hSBA-MenW-135 and hSBA-MenY Antibody Titers ≥ the Cut-off Value

    The cut-off value for the hSBA-Men titers was greater than or equal to (≥) 1:8.

    Measured: Prior to (PRE) and one month after vaccination (Month 1)

  3. hSBA-MenA, hSBA-MenC, hSBA-MenW-135 and hSBA-MenY Antibody Titers

    Antibody titers are presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs).

    Measured: Prior to (PRE) and one month after vaccination (Month 1)

  4. Number of Subjects With Vaccine Response for hSBA-MenA, hSBA-MenC, hSBA-MenW-135 and hSBA-MenY Antibodies

    Vaccine response was defined as: -for initially seronegative subjects [with hSBA titer below (<) 1:4]: post-vaccination antibody titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:8 one month after vaccination; -for initially seropositive subjects (with hSBA titer ≥ 1:4): post-vaccination antibody titer ≥ 4-fold the pre-vaccination antibody titer one month after vaccination.

    Measured: One month after vaccination (Month 1)

  5. Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 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.

    Measured: During the 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  6. Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, gastrointestinal, headache and temperature [defined as oral temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)]. 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 4-day (Days 0-3) post-vaccination period

  7. Number of Subjects With Any 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 outside 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.

    Measured: Within 31 days (Day 0-30) post-vaccination

  8. Number of Subjects With New Onset of Chronic Illness(es) (NOCI)

    NOCI included hypersensitivity, insulin resistance, asthma and bronchial hyperreactivity.

    Measured: From Month 0 through Month 6

  9. Number of Subjects With Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    SAEs assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life-threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.

    Measured: From Month 0 through Month 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Meningococcal vaccine GSK 134612 and Menactra® in people with Infections, Meningococcal, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 32 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 11 inclusion and 20 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 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 32 sites in United States, 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 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 8 Jun 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 Vaccine Response to Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Human Complement Against Neisseria Meningitidis Serogroup A, C, W-135 and Y (hSBA-MenA, hSBA-MenC, hSBA-MenW-135 and hSBA-MenY) Antibodies (time frame: One month after vaccination (Month 1)). 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 NCT01165242, 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 Jun 2018.
