About this study

Official title: Persistence of Bactericidal Antibodies in Children Aged 7 to 15 Years Who Received a Single Dose of Menactra® or Menomune®-A/C/Y/W-135 Five Years Earlier

The study is designed to evaluate the persistence of bactericidal antibodies in subjects aged 7 to 15 years (not yet 16 years) who had been vaccinated five years previously in Study 603-02. In addition, the kinetics of the antibody response will be evaluated in a subset of participants who will receive a booster dose of Menactra® vaccine and children in the same age group not previously vaccinated with a meningococcal vaccine or had meningitis disease who will receive a dose of Menactra® vaccine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Serum Bactericidal Activity of ≥ 1:8 for the Menactra® Meningococcal Serogroups Pre-vaccination, and at 7 Days or 14 Days Post-booster or Post-primary Dose Vaccination.

    Groups 1 and 2 received booster vaccination; Groups 3 and 4 received primary vaccination.

    Serum bactericidal activity for the Menactra® meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 were at pre-vaccination for all Groups, and at 7 days (Groups 1 and 3), and 14 days (Groups 2 and 4) post-vaccination.

    Measured: 7 or 14 days post-vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Polysaccharide Diphtheria Conjugate Vaccine in people with Meningitis and Meningococcal Infection, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 11 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 6 inclusion and 15 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 14 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 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 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 25 Nov 2009). 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 Serum Bactericidal Activity of ≥ 1:8 for the Menactra® Meningococcal Serogroups Pre-vaccination, and at 7 Days or 14 Days Post-booster or Post-primary Dose Vaccination. (time frame: 7 or 14 days post-vaccination). 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 14 Feb 2014; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
