What is being measured

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

  1. Percentages of Subjects With hSBA Seroresponse, in Healthy Children 2 to 5 Years of Age

    The immunogenicity of a single dose of MenACWY-CRM is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the licensed ACWY polysaccharide vaccine, in terms of the percentages of subjects with seroresponse directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    Seroresponse: For a subject with hSBA <1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA ≥ 1:8; for a subject with hSBA ≥ 1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA titer of at least 4 times the baseline.

    Measured: 1 month postvaccination

  2. Percentages of Subjects With hSBA Seroresponse, in Healthy Children 6 to 10 Years of Age.

    The immunogenicity of a single dose of MenACWY-CRM is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the licensed ACWY polysaccharide vaccine, in terms of the percenatages of subjects with seroresponse directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    Seroresponse: For a subject with hSBA <1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA ≥ 1:8; for a subject with hSBA ≥ 1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA titer of at least 4 times the baseline.

    Measured: 1 month postvaccination

    Seroresponse: For a subject with hSBA <1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA ≥ 1:8; for a subject with hSBA ≥ 1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA titer of at least 4 times the baseline.

    Measured: 1 month postvaccination

  2. Percentages of Subjects With hSBA ≥ 1:8, in Healthy Children 2 to 10 Years of Age

    The immunogenicity of a single dose of MenACWY-CRM is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the licensed ACWY polysaccharide vaccine, in terms of the percentages of subjects with seroresponse directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    Seroresponse: For a subject with hSBA <1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA ≥ 1:8; for a subject with hSBA ≥ 1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA titer of at least 4 times the baseline.

    Measured: 1 month postvaccination

  3. Geometric Mean Titers (hSBA), in Healthy Children 2 to 10 Years of Age.

    The immunogenicity of a single dose of MenACWY-CRM is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the licensed ACWY polysaccharide vaccine, in terms of the number of subjects with hSBA (human Serum Bactericidal Activity) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) response against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    Measured: 1 month postvaccination

  4. Percentages of Subjects With hSBA ≥ 1:8, in Healthy Children 2 to 5 and 6 to 10 Years of Age.

    The immunogenicity of a single dose of MenACWY-CRM is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the licensed ACWY polysaccharide vaccine, in terms of the percenategs of subjects with seroresponse directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    Measured: 1 month postvaccination

  5. Geometric Mean Titers (hSBA), in Healthy Children 2 to 5 and 6 to 10 Years of Age.

    Seroresponse: For a subject with hSBA <1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA ≥ 1:8; for a subject with hSBA ≥ 1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA titer of at least 4 times the baseline.

    Measured: 1 month postvaccination

  7. Percentages of Subjects With hSBA ≥ 1:8, in Healthy Children 2 to 5 Years of Age (2 Doses v/s 1 Dose)

    The immunogenicity of two doses of the Novartis MenACWY-CRM, administered 2 months apart, is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the Novartis MenACWY-CRM, directed against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    Seroresponse: For a subject with hSBA <1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA ≥ 1:8; for a subject with hSBA ≥ 1:4 at baseline, seroresponse is defined as a postvaccination hSBA titer of at least 4 times the baseline.

    Measured: 1 month postvaccination

  8. GMTs (hSBA) in Healthy Children 2 to 5 Years of Age (2 Doses v/s 1 Dose)

    The immunogenicity of two doses of the Novartis MenACWY-CRM vaccine, administered 2 months apart, is compared with the immunogenicity of a single dose of the Novartis MenACWY-CRM vaccine, in terms of hSBA (human Serum Bactericidal Activity) GMTs (Geometric Mean Titers) against N. meningitidis serogroups A, C, W-135, and Y.

    ANOVA model used for the analysis of this outcome is different compare to ANOVA model used for the other outcome. The computed model components vary according to the variance observed due to the different datasets.

    Measured: 1 month postvaccination

  9. Percentages of Subjects With at Least One Reactogenicity Sign After Vaccination in Children 2 to 5 Years of Age - 1 Dose Vaccine Treatment.

    Safety was assessed in terms of the percentages of subjects with reported local and systemic reactions up to 7 days after each vaccination per vaccination group, after 1 dose treatment.

    Measured: Study days 1 to 7

  10. Percentages of Subjects With at Least One Reactogenicity Sign After Vaccination in Children 6 to 10 Years of Age - 1 Dose Vaccine Treatment.

    Safety was assessed in terms of the percentages of subjects with reported local and systemic reactions up to 7 days after each vaccination per vaccination group after 1 dose treatment.

    Measured: Study days 1 to 7

  11. Percentages of Subjects With Unsolicited AEs Occurring Throughout the Study in Children Aged 2 to 10 Years - 1 Dose Vaccine Treatment.

    Safety was assessed in terms of the percentage of subjects with unsolicited AEs occurring throughout the entire study period, after 1 dose treatment.

    Measured: day 1 to study termination (day 240)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing MenACWY-CRM and Licensed meningococcal ACWY vaccine in people with Meningococcal Infections, run by Novartis Vaccines at 68 sites in 2 countries.

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 3 inclusion and 10 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 15 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 68 sites in United States, Canada. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jun 2011). 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?

Percentages of Subjects With hSBA Seroresponse, in Healthy Children 2 to 5 Years of Age (time frame: 1 month postvaccination). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00616421, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 15 Feb 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
