What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Summary of Geometric Mean Titers of Anti-Pertussis Titers Following a Single Dose of Adacel® Vaccine
Anti-Pertussis titers (Pertussis toxoid [PT], Filamentous hemagglutinin [FHA], Pertactin [PRN], Fimbriae types 2 and 3 [FIM]) geometric mean titers were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Measured: Day 30 post-vaccination
Summary of Anti-Pertussis Booster Response Following a Booster Dose of Adacel® Vaccine
Anti-Pertussis booster responses were assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). For pertussis antigens (Pertussis toxoid [PT], filamentous hemagglutinin [FHA], pertactin [PRN], fimbriae types 2 and 3 [FIM]), a booster response rate was defined as a four-fold increase in pre- to post-vaccination titers for participants with pre vaccination titers ≤ 93 ELISA Unit (EU)/mL for PT, ≤ 170 EU/mL for FHA, ≤ 115 EU mL for PRN, and ≤ 285 EU/mL for FIM. If the pre-vaccination titers were > 93 EU/mL for PT, > 170 EU/mL for FHA, > 115 EU mL for PRN, or > 285 EU/mL for FIM then a two-fold increase in the antibody titer was defined as a booster response.
Measured: 30 days post-vaccination
Summary of Anti-Tetanus and Anti-Diphtheria Booster Response Following a Booster Dose of Adacel® Vaccine
Anti-tetanus booster responses were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-diphtheria booster responses were assessed by a toxin neutralization test. Booster response rate was defined as a four-fold increase in pre- to post-vaccination for subjects with pre-vaccination titers ≤ 2.56 EU/mL for diphtheria and ≤ 2.7 EU/mL for tetanus. If the pre-vaccination titers were > 2.56 EU/mL for diphtheria or > 2.7 EU/mL for tetanus, then a two-fold increase in response rate was defined as a booster response.
Measured: 30 days post-vaccination
Secondary outcomes (3)
Percentage of Participants With Seroprotection to Tetanus and Diphtheria Following a Single Dose of Adacel Vaccine
Anti-tetanus seroprotection rates were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Anti-diphtheria seroprotection was assessed by a toxin neutralization test. Seroprotection was defined as post-vaccination antibody titers ≥0.1 IU/mL.
Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and 30 days post-vaccination
Summary of Anti-Pertussis Geometric Means of Titers Before and Post-Vaccination With a Single Dose of Adacel Vaccine
Anti-Pertussis titers (Pertussis toxoid [PT], Filamentous hemagglutinin [FHA], Pertactin [PRN], Fimbriae types 2 and 3 [FIM]) geometric mean titers were assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and Day 30 post-vaccination
Percentage of Participants Reporting a Solicited Injection-site or Systemic Reactions Following Injection With a Single Dose of Adacel Vaccine
Solicited injection-site: Pain, Erythema, and Swelling. Solicited systemic reactions: Fever, Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia. Grade 3 Solicited Injection-site reactions: Pain, Incapacitating, unable to perform usual activities; Erythema and Swelling, ≥50 mm. Grade 3 Solicited systemic reactions: Fever, ≥39.0˚C or ≥102.1˚F; Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia Significant, prevents daily activity.
Measured: Day 0 up to Day 7 post-vaccination

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Adacel®: Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Adsorbed in people with Tetanus and Diphtheria, run by Sanofi at 34 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 5 inclusion and 16 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 8 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 34 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
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 8 Apr 2016). 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?
Summary of Geometric Mean Titers of Anti-Pertussis Titers Following a Single Dose of Adacel® Vaccine (time frame: Day 30 post-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 NCT01311557, 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 8 Apr 2016.
