About this study

Official title: A Phase 2/3, Open Label, Randomised Study of the Safety, Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity of a Single Dose of Novartis Meningococcal ACWY (Menveo) or GSK Meningococcal ACWY Conjugate Vaccine in Adolescents Primed With Meningitec, Menjugate or Neisvac-C in Preschool Vaccination

There is evidence of waning immunity in individuals vaccinated against meningitis C as part of the UK infant immunisation schedule. The intention of this study is to contact participants of a previous NVEC (National Vaccine Evalutaion Consortium) clinical trial (a PreSchool Men C trial, in which participants were randomised to receive Meningitec, Menjugate or Neisvac-C). They will be invited to enrol and will be randomised to receive one of two quadrivalent meningococcal ACWY vaccines, to look at the boosting effect they may confer.

Read the detailed description

Between 550 and 650 subjects enrolled in a previous Meningococcal C vaccine study will be invited to join this new study looking at the boosting effects of two quadrivalent meningococcal ACWY vaccines. If they choose to participate, they will be randomised to receive one of the ACWY vaccines. Within each vaccine group, there will be further division into short (6 months) or longer (9 months) follow-up.

Each participant will be given one dose of an allocated vaccine. Blood samples will be taken three times from each participant - the first sample will be pre-vaccination; the second sample will be taken one month after vaccination; and the third and final sample at either six or nine months after vaccination (depending on the group they are randomised to).

What is being measured

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

  1. Response to meningococcal components of the vaccines by serum bactericidal antibody

    Percentage of participants with serogroup-specific rabbit Serum Bactericidal Antibody (rSBA) titres ≥ 8 at one month post vaccination, for each of the serogroups A, C, W135 and Y. (This titre of rSBA is a documented correlate of protection for meningococcal conjugate vaccines)

    Measured: December 2013

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Menveo and MenACWY-TT in people with Meningococcal Meningitis, run by Public Health England at 3 sites in United Kingdom.

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 1 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in United Kingdom. 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 combined 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.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Response to meningococcal components of the vaccines by serum bactericidal antibody (time frame: December 2013). 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 NCT01192997, 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 1 Oct 2020.
