What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Subjects With Vaccine Response for Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Rabbit Complement Against Neisseria Meningitides Serogroups A, C, W-135, Y (rSBA-MenA, rSBA-MenC, rSBA-MenW-135 and rSBA-MenY) Antibodies

    Vaccine response defined as: for initially seronegative subjects, antibody titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1:32 and for initially seropositive subjects: antibody titer ≥ 4 fold the pre-vaccination antibody titer. The analysis was performed with the GSK rSBA assay.

    Measured: At Month 1

  2. rSBA-MenA, rSBA-MenC, rSBA-MenW-135 and rSBA-MenY Titers

    Titers are presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs). All subjects underwent testing with the GSK rSBA assay for all 4 serogroups.

    Measured: At Month 1

  7. Number of Subjects With Any and Grade 3 Solicited Local Symptoms

    Assessed solicited local symptoms were pain, redness and swelling. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 pain = pain that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 50 millimeters (mm) of injection site.

    Measured: Within 4-days (Days 0-3) post-vaccination

  8. Number of Subjects With Any, Grade 3 and Related Solicited General Symptoms

    Assessed solicited general symptoms were fatigue, gastrointestinal symptoms, headache and temperature [defined as orally temperature equal to or above (≥) 37.5 degrees Celsius (°C)]. Any = occurrence of the symptom regardless of intensity grade. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 fever = fever higher than (>) 39.5 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: Within 4-days (Days 0-3) post-vaccination

  9. Number of Subjects With Any Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs)

    An unsolicited AE covers any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation subject temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product and reported in addition to those solicited during the clinical study and any solicited symptom with onset outside the specified period of follow-up for solicited symptoms. Any was defined as the occurrence of any unsolicited AE regardless of intensity grade or relation to vaccination.

    Measured: Within 31-days (Days 0-30) post-vaccination

  10. Number of Subjects With New Onset Chronic Illnesses (NOCI)

    NOCIs include autoimmune disorders, asthma, type I diabetes, allergies.

    Measured: Within 31-days (Days 0-30) post-vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Mencevax ACWY and GSK Biologicals' meningococcal serogroup A, C, W-135, Y tetanus toxoid conjugate investigational vaccine [GSK 134612] in people with Infections, Meningococcal, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 3 sites in 3 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 10 inclusion and 21 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 26 Nov 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Panama, Philippines, Thailand. 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 26 Nov 2018). 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 With Vaccine Response for Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Rabbit Complement Against Neisseria Meningitides Serogroups A, C, W-135, Y (rSBA-MenA, rSBA-MenC, rSBA-MenW-135 and rSBA-MenY) Antibodies (time frame: At Month 1). 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 NCT01154088, 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 26 Nov 2018.
