About this study

Official title: Persistence of Bactericidal Antibodies in Adolescents and Adults Aged 15 to 23 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 15 to 23 years (not yet 24 years) who had been vaccinated five years previously in Study MTA02 and did not participate in Study MTA19 (NCT 00777790). In addition, the kinetics of the antibody response will be evaluated in a subset of these participants who will receive a booster dose of Menactra® vaccine. This will be compared to aged matched control subjects who have not been previously vaccinated with a meningococcal vaccine or had documented meningitis disease who will also receive a dose of Menactra® vaccine.

What is being measured

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

  1. Participants With Serum Bactericidal Activity of ≥ 1:8 for Each Menactra® Vaccine Serogroups Pre-vaccination and 28 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 each Menactra® vaccine serogroups were at pre-vaccination and at 28 days post-booster or post-primary vaccination.

    Measured: 28 days post-vaccination (5 years after Menactra® or Menomune® vaccination)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Meningococcal Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate in people with Meningitis and Meningococcal Infection, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 8 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 7 inclusion and 14 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 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 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 14 Dec 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?

Participants With Serum Bactericidal Activity of ≥ 1:8 for Each Menactra® Vaccine Serogroups Pre-vaccination and 28 Days Post-booster or Post-primary Dose Vaccination. (time frame: 28 days post-vaccination (5 years after Menactra® or Menomune® 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 Apr 2016.
