About this study

Official title: A Follow-up Study to Evaluate the Long-term Persistence of GSK Biologicals' Candidate CMV Vaccine Administered to Male Adults

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the persistence of the vaccine induced immune responses at Month 48 (Year 4) and Month 60 (Year 5) in healthy subjects who received 3 doses of GSK Biologicals' candidate CMV vaccine according to a 0-1-6 month schedule during the primary study 108890 (NCT00435396) (vaccine group). The immune response to CMV infection in naturally infected subjects who participated in the screening visit of the primary study 108890 (NCT00435396) and who were tested CMV-seropositive, will be used as a reference value (seropositive reference group). In addition, this study will continue to assess the occurrence of CMV infections as well as the continued development and validation of read-outs in the CMV project.

The primary vaccination phase and Year 2 follow-up were posted as a separate protocol posting (NCT00435396).

Read the detailed description

During the long-term follow-up study, all subjects who received 3 doses of GSK Biologicals' candidate CMV vaccine according to a 0-1-6 month schedule during the primary study 108890 (NCT00435396) will be invited to participate at Visit 8 (Year 4) and Visit 9 (Year 5) as the vaccine group. In addition, the healthy subjects who participated in the screening visit of the primary study 108890 (NCT00435396) and who were tested CMV-seropositive will be invited to Visit 9 (Year 5) of this study as the seropositive reference group.This Protocol Posting has been updated following Protocol Amendment 1, March 2012, leading to the update of brief summary, intervention model, enrolment, outcome measures, eligibility and arms.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Blood samplingProcedure or surgery

    Blood samples will be collected at 2 time points:

    At the long-term follow-up at approximately Month 48 of study (= ± 42 months post dose 3) from all subjects in the vaccine group.

    At the long-term follow-up at approximately Month 60 of study (= ± 54 months post dose 3) from all subjects.

What is being measured

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

  1. Concentrations of Antibodies Against Anti-Glycoprotein B (gB) Immunoglobulin G (IgG)

    Anti-gB IgG antibody concentrations were presented as Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) and expressed in ELISA units per milliliter (EL.U/mL), as assessed by Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Data were collected at Month 48 (M48) and Month 60 (M60) from all subjects.

    Measured: At Month 48 and Month 60

  2. Number of Subjects With Neutralizing Response Against Anti-Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Antibodies

    The neutralizing antibodies were to be measured using an in-house micro-neutralization assay.

    Measured: At Month 48 and Month 60

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Descriptive Statistics on Avidity Index (%) of Anti-gB IgG Antibodies

    Avidity for anti-gB IgG antibodies was assessed by the ELISA Avidity index method in all subjects, at Month 48 (M48) and Month 60 (M60).

    This assay has been developed according to Souza et al (Rev.Inst.med.Trop.S.Paulo 45;323-326; 2003) using an elution step with urea to remove low-avidity antibodies from CMV antigen. The avidity index was calculated as the mean absorbance of reactions in which the immune complexes are exposed to urea divided by the mean absorbance of reactions in which the immune complexes are not exposed to urea, expressed as a percentage.

    Measured: At Month 48 and Month 60

  2. Descriptive Statistics on the Frequency of gB-specific Cluster of Differentiation (CD4+/CD8+) T-cells Expressing at Least Two Immune Markers

    Among the immune markers determined by the Intracellular cytokine staining (ICS) were Interferon-gamma (INF-γ), Interleukin-2 (IL-2), Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and CD40-Ligand (CD40-L). Data were collected for all subjects at Month 48 (M48) and Month 60 (M60).

    Measured: At Month 48 and Month 60

  3. Desciptive Statistics on the Frequency of gB-specific Memory B-cells (by ELISPOT)

    Memory B cells specific to the CMV gB antigen, as assessed by the Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Spot (ELISPOT) method, were expressed as a frequency of the specific memory B-cells per million memory B-cells. Data were collected for all subjects at Month 48 (M48) and Month 60 (M60).

    Measured: At Month 48 and Month 60

  4. Number of Subjects With Response for Anti-CMV Tegument IgG Antibodies

    CMV infection was determined by the anti-CMV proteins antibody response, using ELISA. Data were collected for all subjects at Month 48 (M48) and Month 60 (M60) in the Vaccine group (GSK149203A S- Group). All subjects from the Reference group (GSK149203A S+ Group) were positive for the anti-CMV tegument IgG antibodies at the screening visit.

    Measured: At Month 48 and Month 60

  5. Assessment of CMV Infection by CMV Specific Desoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) in Viral Load

    CMV DNA viral loads were assessed using quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). Data were presented for subjects included in the Vaccine group (GSK149203A S- Group).

    Measured: At Month 48 and Month 60

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Blood sampling and GSK149203A in people with Infections, Cytomegalovirus, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 2 sites 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 7 inclusion and 8 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 13 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Oct 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?

Concentrations of Antibodies Against Anti-Glycoprotein B (gB) Immunoglobulin G (IgG) (time frame: At Month 48 and Month 60). 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?
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 13 Jan 2020.
