Trial summary

Polio is a highly infectious disease caused by a virus. It invades the nervous system, and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours. The virus enters the body through the mouth and multiplies in the intestine. Initial symptoms are fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, stiffness in the neck and pain in the limbs.

About this study

Official title: Phase III Immunogenicity, Safety, Poliovirus Excretion and Acceptance of Vaccination OPV (Vero Cells) in Newborns Mexicans

Polio is a highly infectious disease caused by a virus. It invades the nervous system, and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours. The virus enters the body through the mouth and multiplies in the intestine. Initial symptoms are fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, stiffness in the neck and pain in the limbs. One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis (usually in the legs). Among those paralysed, 5% to 10% die when their breathing muscles become immobilized. There is no cure for polio, it can only be prevented. Polio vaccine, given multiple times, can protect a child for life.

Compare in newborns the immunogenicity and safety of the vaccine OPV produced by Birmex compared with the vaccine OPV produced by Sanofi Pasteur, both produced in Vero cells.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized clinical trial, which includes 320 newborns of both sexes and residents of the state of México, 160 newborns receive the vaccine OPV Birmex and 160 newborns receive the vaccine OPV Sanofi Pasteur

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Trivalent OPV BirmexBiological

    Also called tOPV

    Newborns who receive OPV vaccine produced in Vero cells by Birmex one dose of vaccine immediately after random allocation (at birth). A second dose is given four weeks after the first application.

  • Trivalent OPV Sanofi PasteurBiological

    Also called tOPV

    Newborns who receive OPV vaccine produced in Vero cells by Sanofi Pasteur one dose of vaccine immediately after random allocation (at birth). A second dose is given four weeks after the first application.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change seroconversion after one dose of trivalent vaccine OPV

    Measured: after the first dose is taken blood samples (baseline, 30 and 60 days)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Evaluate the adverse events in newborns babies

    Measured: inmediately after treatment and during 60 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Trivalent OPV Birmex and Trivalent OPV Sanofi Pasteur in people with Poliomyelitis, run by Laboratorios de Biologicos y Reactivos de México, S.A. de C.V. at 1 site in Mexico.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Mexico. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Alvaro García-Pérez, MD (5554222840 ext. 139, agarciap@birmex.gob.mx), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change seroconversion after one dose of trivalent vaccine OPV (time frame: after the first dose is taken blood samples (baseline, 30 and 60 days)). 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 30 Sep 2013.
