What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects Reporting Any Post Immunization Reactions

    Solicited reactions collected during the 7-day period after vaccination are pain, erythema, induration, chills, malaise, myalgia, headache, arthralgia and fatigue.

    Measured: During the 7-day period after vaccination

  2. Number of Subjects Reporting Adverse Events

    Measured: During the 28-day period after vaccination

  3. Number of Subjects Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Measured: During the 6-month period after vaccination

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Anti-Vi ELISA Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC)

    Measured: At 28 days after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Typherix and NVGH Vi-CRM197 in people with Typhoid Fever, run by Novartis at 1 site in Belgium.

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 20 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 17 Jan 2014. 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 Belgium. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 13 Jun 2012). 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?

Number of Subjects Reporting Any Post Immunization Reactions (time frame: During the 7-day period after vaccination). The study lists 3 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 NCT01123941, 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 17 Jan 2014.
