What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) After First Vaccination

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study vaccine. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product, whether or not related to that medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. Solicited local AEs were precisely defined local events that participants were specifically asked about and which were noted by participants in the diary. Solicited local AEs included injection-site pain/tenderness, injection-site erythema and injection-site swelling/induration.

    Measured: 14 days after first vaccination (Day 1 to Day 15)

  2. Percentage of Participants With Solicited Systemic Adverse Events After First Vaccination

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study vaccine. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product, whether or not related to that medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. Solicited systemic AEs were precisely defined systemic events that participants were specifically asked about and which were noted by participants in the diary. Solicited systemic AEs included fatigue, headache, nausea, myalgia and fever.

    Measured: 14 days after first vaccination (Day 1 to Day 15)

  3. Percentage of Participants With Unsolicited Adverse Events After First Vaccination

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study vaccine. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product, whether or not related to that medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. Unsolicited AEs were precisely defined events that participants were not asked about and which were not noted by participants in the diary.

    Measured: 29 days after first vaccination (Day 1 to Day 30)

  4. Number of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) After First Vaccination

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the study vaccine. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product, whether or not related to that medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product. An SAE is any AE that results in: death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect and is a suspected transmission of any infectious agent via a medicinal product.

    Measured: Up to Day 180

  5. Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for Serotypes O1A, O2, O6A and O25B at Day 1

    Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody levels elicited by the vaccine against each of the 4 vaccine serotypes (serotype O1A, O2, O6A and O25B) were measured by ELISA. GMTs for serotypes O1A, O2, O6A and O25B at Day 1 were reported.

    Measured: Day 1

  6. ELISA GMTs for Serotypes O1A, O2, O6A and O25B at Day 15

    IgG antibody levels elicited by the vaccine against each of the 4 vaccine serotypes (serotype O1A, O2, O6A and O25B) were measured by ELISA. GMTs for serotypes O1A, O2, O6A and O25B at Day 15 were reported.

    Measured: Day 15

  7. ELISA Geometric Mean Ratio (GMR) for Serotypes O1A, O2, O6A and O25B at Day 15/Day 1

    IgG antibody levels elicited by the vaccine against each of the 4 vaccine serotypes (serotype O1A, O2, O6A and O25B) were measured by ELISA. GMR for serotypes O1A, O2, O6A and O25B (Day 15/Day 1) was reported.

    Measured: Day 15/Day 1

  8. Percentage of Participants With a 2-fold and 4-fold Increase From Baseline in Serum Antibody Titers (ELISA) at Day 15

    Percentage of participants with a 2-fold and 4-fold increase from baseline in serum antibody titers as measured by ELISA at Day 15 were reported.

    Measured: Day 15

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Solicited Local Adverse Events After Second Vaccination

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant administered a medicinal (investigational or non-investigational) product.

Solicited local AEs were precisely defined local events that participants were specifically asked about and which were noted by participants in the diary.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ExPEC4V in people with Healthy, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 2 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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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. 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 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 26 Nov 2019). 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?

Percentage of Participants With Solicited Local Adverse Events (AEs) After First Vaccination (time frame: 14 days after first vaccination (Day 1 to Day 15)). The study lists 8 primary outcomes in all. 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 26 Nov 2019.
