About this study

The aim of this study is to describe immunogenicity of a single booster dose of Adacel vaccine versus Boostrix vaccine among approximately 420 adolescents 11 to <13 years of age.

Primary objective:

Read more
  • To describe seroprotection rates against tetanus and diphtheria in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine.

Observational objectives:

  • To describe pre- and post-vaccination tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis geometric mean antibody concentrations (GMCs) in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine.
  • To describe booster response rates against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine.
  • To describe the rates of adverse events (AEs) immediately post-vaccination, and the rates of unsolicited AEs and serious adverse events (SAEs) following vaccination with Adacel or Boostrix vaccine from Visit 1 through Visit 2.
Read the detailed description

Participants will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine.

Subjects will be monitored for immediate reactions for 15 minutes post-vaccination. Unsolicited adverse events and serious adverse events will be collected from Visit 1 through Visit 2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Antibody Responses to Tetanus and Diphtheria Components Following Vaccination With Either Adacel® or BOOSTRIX® Vaccine

    Tetanus antibody was assayed by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Diphtheria antibody by a toxin neutralization test. Antibody responses to tetanus and diphtheria components were defined as titers ≥0.1 IU/mL and ≥1.0 IU/mL

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) to Day 28 (post-vaccination)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Geometric Mean Concentrations of Tetanus and Diphtheria Antibodies Following Vaccination With Either Adacel® or BOOSTRIX® Vaccine

    Tetanus antibody was assayed by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Diphtheria antibody by a toxin neutralization test

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) to Day 28 post-vaccination

  2. Number of Participants With Booster Responses Against Tetanus and Diphtheria Antigens Following Vaccination With Either Adacel® or BOOSTRIX® Vaccine

    Adacel booster response defined as: a 4-fold increase in pre- to post-vaccination antibody concentrations for subjects with a pre-vaccination concentration ≤2.56 IU/mL for diphtheria and ≤2.7 IU/mL for tetanus, and defined as a 2-fold increase for subjects with a pre-vaccination concentration >2.56 IU/mL for diphtheria and >2.7 IU/mL for tetanus.

    Boostrix booster response defined as: a post-vaccination titer ≥4 times the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) for subjects with a pre-vaccination titer < LLOQ, a post-vaccination titer ≥4 times the pre-vaccination titer for subjects with a pre-vaccination titer between LLOQ and 4x LLOQ, or a post-vaccination titer at least twice the pre-vaccination titer for subjects with a pre-vaccination titer ≥4x LLOQ.

    Measured: Day 28 post-vaccination

  3. Geometric Mean Concentrations of the Pertussis Antibodies Following Vaccination With Either Adacel® or BOOSTRIX® Vaccine

    Pertussis antibodies Pertussis toxoid (PT), Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), Pertactin (PRN), and Fimbriae types 2 and 3 (FIM 2\&3) were assayed by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) to Day 28 post-vaccination

  4. Number of Participants With Booster Responses Against the Pertussis Antibodies Following Vaccination With Either Adacel® or BOOSTRIX® Vaccine

    Adacel booster response defined as: a 4-fold increase in pre- to post-vaccination antibody concentrations for subjects with a pre vaccination concentration ≤93 ELISA Unit (EU)/mL for Pertussis toxoid (PT), ≤170 EU/mL for Filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), ≤115 EU mL for pertactin (PRN), or ≤285 EU/mL for Fimbriae types 2 and 3 (FIM), and defined as a 2-fold increase for subjects with a pre-vaccination concentration >93 EU/mL for PT, >170 EU/mL for FHA, >115 EU/mL for PRN, or >285 EU/mL for FIM.

    Boostrix booster response defined as: a post-vaccination titer ≥4 times the LLOQ for subjects with a pre-vaccination titer <LLOQ, a post-vaccination titer ≥4 times the pre-vaccination titer for subjects with a pre-vaccination titer between LLOQ and 4x LLOQ, or a post-vaccination titer at least twice the pre-vaccination titer for subjects with a pre-vaccination titer ≥4x LLOQ.

    Measured: Day 28 post-vaccination

  5. Number of Participants Reporting Immediate Unsolicited Adverse Events Following Vaccination With Either Adacel® or BOOSTRIX® Vaccine

    The occurrence, nature (Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) preferred term), duration, intensity, and relationship to vaccination of adverse events (AEs) reported in the 15 minutes after vaccination and systemic AEs.

    Measured: Up to 15 minutes post-vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed (Adacel®) and Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine, Adsorbed (BOOSTRIX®) in people with Tetanus and Diphtheria, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 8 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 4 inclusion and 19 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 2 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 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 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 21 Oct 2013). 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 With Antibody Responses to Tetanus and Diphtheria Components Following Vaccination With Either Adacel® or BOOSTRIX® Vaccine (time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) to Day 28 (post-vaccination)). 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 NCT01629589, 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 2 Mar 2016.
