About this study

Official title: Antibody Persistence and Response to Re-vaccination With Either Menactra® or Menomune® Vaccine Approximately Three Years Following Initial Vaccination in Adults Who Participated in Trial MTA29

The purpose of this trial is to describe antibody persistence and response to re-vaccination with either Menactra® or Menomune® vaccine approximately three years following initial vaccination in adults who participated in trial MTA29 (NCT00874549).

Objectives:

  • To describe the rates of immediate reactions, solicited injection-site and systemic reactions, all unsolicited adverse events, and serious adverse events following vaccination.
  • To evaluate persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies in subjects who received Menactra® or Menomune® vaccine approximately three years ago.
  • To evaluate the immune response to serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 in subjects re-vaccinated with either Menactra® or Menomune® vaccine.
Read the detailed description

Participants who were randomized and received either Menactra® or Menomune® vaccine in trial MTA29 will receive 1 dose of either Menactra® or Menomune®, respectively on Day 0 and will be followed-up for 28 days post-vaccination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reactions Following Vaccination With Either Menomune or Menactra Vaccine

    Solicited Injection Site Reactions: Pain, Erythema, Swelling. Solicited Systemic Reactions: Fever (Temperature), Headache, Malaise, Myalgia.

    Grade 3 reactions were defined as: Pain, headache, malaise, and myalgia - significant, prevents daily activity; Erythema and swelling - > 100 mm; Fever, temperature of ≥ 39.0ºC or ≥ 102.1ºF.

    Measured: Day 0 to Day 7 post-vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Menomune®: A, C, Y, W 135 Meningococcal Polysaccharide and Menactra®: Meningococcal (A, C, Y and W 135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate in people with Meningitis and Meningococcal Meningitis, run by Sanofi at 6 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 6 inclusion and 21 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 25 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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 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 19 Jun 2012). 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 Participants Reporting Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reactions Following Vaccination With Either Menomune or Menactra Vaccine (time frame: Day 0 to Day 7 post-vaccination). 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 25 Jun 2012.
