What is being measured

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

  1. Percentages of Subjects With Anti-diphtheria and Anti-tetanus Antibody Concentrations ≥ 0.1 IU/mL When Tdap is Administered Concomitantly With HPV and MenACWY-CRM Vaccine Compared to Tdap Given Concomitantly With HPV and Placebo

    The percentages of subjects with anti-diphtheria and anti-tetanus antibody concentrations ≥ 0.1 IU/mL (as measured by ELISA) following concomitant administration of Tdap with HPV and MenACWY-CRM vaccine as compared to concomitant administration of Tdap with HPV and placebo.

    Measured: 1 month post Tdap vaccination.

  2. Geometric Mean Concentrations of Antibodies Against Pertussis Antigens After Concomitant Administration of Tdap With HPV and MenACWY-CRM Compared to Concomitant Administration of Tdap With HPV and Placebo

    The geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) of antibodies against pertussis antigens (PT, FHA and PRN), as measured by ELISA, following concomitant administration of Tdap with HPV and MenACWY-CRM as compared to concomitant administration of Tdap with HPV and placebo.

    Measured: 1 month post Tdap vaccination.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Geometric Mean hSBA Titers Against N. Meningitidis Serogroups A,C,W and Y at 1 Month After Men ACWY Vaccination.

    The immunogenicity was assessed in terms of geometric mean hSBA titers of MenACWY when administered concomitantly with Tdap and HPV at 1 month after 1 dose of MenACWY vaccination.

    Measured: 1 month post MenACWY-CRM vaccination.

  2. Number of Subjects With Solicited Local and Systemic Adverse Events When Tdap and HPV Are Concomitantly Administered With MenACWY-CRM Compared to When Tdap and HPV Are Concomitantly Administered With Placebo

    The number of subjects reporting solicited local and systemic reactions following concomitant administration of MenACWY-CRM vaccine, Tdap and HPV vaccine as compared to concomitant administration of placebo with Tdap and HPV.

    Measured: Day 1-7 after any vaccination.

  3. Number of Subjects With Unsolicited Adverse Events When Tdap and HPV Are Concomitantly Administered With MenACWY-CRM Compared to When Tdap and HPV Are Concomitantly Administered With Placebo

    The number of subjects reporting any unsolicited adverse reactions (AEs) when Tdap and HPV are concomitantly administered with MenACWY-CRM as compared to when Tdap and HPV vaccine are concomitantly administered with placebo.

    Note: A total of 2 MenACWY-CRM+Tdap+HPV subjects reported AEs leading to premature withdrawal - one subject due to treatment emergent AE and another subject prior to study vaccination on day 1.

    Measured: Throughout the study (Day 1 to Day 211).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing MenACWY-CRM Conjugate Vaccine + Combined Tetanus, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid, Acellular Pertussis Vaccine + Quadrivalent Human Papillomavirus Vaccine in people with Meningococcal Meningitis, run by Novartis at 20 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 33 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 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 20 sites in United States, Italy. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 Feb 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 Anti-diphtheria and Anti-tetanus Antibody Concentrations ≥ 0.1 IU/mL When Tdap is Administered Concomitantly With HPV and MenACWY-CRM Vaccine Compared to Tdap Given Concomitantly With HPV and Placebo (time frame: 1 month post Tdap vaccination.). 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 NCT01424644, 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 Feb 2014.
