Trial summary

S. aureus is the most common pathogen encountered in infection associated with cardiovascular surgery. StaphVAX® is a bivalent S. aureus types 5 and 8 vaccine which contains the purified capsular polysaccharides (CPS) that have been implicated as a major factor in the invasiveness of S. aureus.

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blinded Study to Evaluate Safety and Immunogenicity of StaphVAX®, a Bivalent Staphylococcus Aureus Glycoconjugate Vaccine, in Adult Patients Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgery

  1. aureus is the most common pathogen encountered in infection associated with cardiovascular surgery. StaphVAX® is a bivalent S. aureus types 5 and 8 vaccine which contains the purified capsular polysaccharides (CPS) that have been implicated as a major factor in the invasiveness of S. aureus. Immunoprophylaxis by vaccinating against S. aureus prior to surgery could provide sufficient antibody concentrations during surgery and during the wound healing period so as to decrease the risk of S. aureus infection. This study aims to demonstrate the immunogenicity and safety of a single dose of StaphVAX in patients who are candidates for cardiovascular surgery.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Serotype-specific antibody concentrations

    Measured: at other time points 7-180 days after the vaccine dose.

  2. adverse events

    Measured: 0-180 days after vaccine dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing S. aureus Type 5 & 8 Capsular Polysaccharide Conjugate in people with Staphylococcal Infections and Cardiovascular Diseases, run by Nabi Biopharmaceuticals at 1 site 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 8 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 4 Jan 2008. 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 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 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Serotype-specific antibody concentrations (time frame: 6 weeks after the vaccine dose). 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 4 Jan 2008.
