What is being measured

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

  1. Vaccine Response to Meningococcal Antigens (MenA, MenC, MenW-135 and MenY)

    Vaccine response for serum bactericidal assay using rabbit complement (rSBA) antibodies against Neisseria meningitides serogroups A, C , W-135, Y (rSBA-MenA, rSBA-MenC, rSBA-MenW-135 and rSBA-MenY) was defined as: for initially seronegative subjects [rSBA titer below (<) 1:8], post-vaccination rSBA titer greater than or equal to (≥) 1: 32; for initially seropositive subjects with rSBA titer between 1:8 and 1:128, at least four-fold increase in rSBA titer from pre to post vaccination; and for initially seropositive subjects with rSBA titer ≥1:128, at least two-fold increase in rSBA titer from pre to post vaccination.

    Measured: One month after vaccination (Month 1)

    Antibody concentrations were presented as geometric mean concentrations (GMCs), expressed in international units per milliliter (IU/mL).

    Measured: At Day 0 and Month 1

  9. 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 = significant pain at rest or pain that prevented normal every day activities. Grade 3 redness/swelling = redness/swelling spreading beyond 50 millimeters (mm) of injection site.

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

  10. 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 any general symptom regardless of intensity grade or relationship to vaccination. Grade 3 symptom = symptom that prevented normal activity. Grade 3 temperature = temperature above (>) 39.5 °C. Related = symptom assessed by the investigator as causally related to the study vaccination.

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

  11. 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 (Day 0 to 30) after vaccination

  12. Number of Subjects With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Serious adverse events (SAEs) assessed include medical occurrences that result in death, are life threatening, require hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization or result in disability/incapacity.

    Measured: Within 31 days (Day 0 to 30) after vaccination

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

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

    Measured: Within 31 days (Day 0 to 30) after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Meningococcal vaccine GSK 134612 and MencevaxACWY TM in people with Infections, Meningococcal, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Lebanon.

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 5 inclusion and 19 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 20 Aug 2018. 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 Lebanon. 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 28 Apr 2017). 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?

Vaccine Response to Meningococcal Antigens (MenA, MenC, MenW-135 and MenY) (time frame: One month after vaccination (Month 1)). 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 NCT01235975, 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 20 Aug 2018.
