About this study

Official title: Seroprevalence of Pertussis Antibodies Among Children and Adolescents in Croatia - Investigation of the Waning Vaccine-induced Immunity in Children and Adolescents

Pertussis is a vaccine preventable disease caused by Bordetella pertussis. Older children and adolescents with pertussis continue to be a significant source of infection for incompletely vaccinated infants who are in harm for developing severe disease. The primary objective of our study is to estimate the duration of protection elicited by the current vaccination schedule against pertussis in Croatia.

Being tested
ELISA IgG Testkit

What participants receive

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

  • ELISA IgG TestkitDiagnostic test

    All samples will be tested for IgG antibody level to pertussis toxin using a commercial Bordetella pertussis ELISA IgG Testkit in accordance to the manufacturers' protocol in the laboratory at the University Hospital for Infectious Diseases in Zagreb.

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.

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 Goran Tešović (+385914012605, gtesovic@bfm.hr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Waning of vaccine-induced immunity (time frame: 1 day). 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?
