About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of Two Doses of Menactra® (Meningococcal [Groups A, C, Y, and W-135] Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine) or One Dose of Monovalent Meningococcal Group C Conjugate Vaccine Administered Concomitantly With Routine Immunizations Between 12 and 18 Months of Age in Canada

The purpose for this study is to demonstrate the safety and immunogenicity of two doses of Menactra® administered between 12 and 18 months of age and concomitantly with routine immunization with two different provincial schedule

Primary Objectives:

Read more
  • To describe the immunogenicity of Menactra® administered concomitantly with routine immunizations at 12 and 18 months in naïve or Menjugate-primed (MenC-primed) infants (measured by serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement [SBA-BR])
  • To describe the immunogenicity of MenC administered concomitantly with routine immunizations at 12 months of age (measured by SBA-BR)

Secondary Objectives:

Safety

  • To describe the safety profile of Menactra® and MenC vaccines after each dose when given concomitantly with routine immunization.

Immunogenicity

  • To describe the immunogenicity of both vaccines using serum bactericidal assay using human complement [SBA-HC]
  • To describe the immunogenicity of Pediacel administered at 18 months.
Read the detailed description

Participants depending on their groups will receive either two doses of Menactra vaccine concomitantly with the routinely recommended vaccines or one dose of MenC vaccine concomitantly with the routinely recommended vaccines and will be monitored for safety and immunogenicity. The duration of each subject's participation in the trial will be approximately 7 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y and W-135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate: Menactra® and Meningococcal Group C Conjugate vaccine: MenC in people with Meningitis and Meningococcal Infection, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 1 site in Canada.

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 6 inclusion and 18 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 19 Aug 2016. 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 Canada. 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 24 May 2013). 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?

Geometric Mean Titers of Serum Bovine Albumin Baby Rabbit Titers Following Vaccination With Either One Dose of Menactra® Vaccine at 12 and 18 Months of Age, Respectively, or One Single Dose of Menjugate® Vaccine at 12 Months of Age. (time frame: 28 days post-vaccination). 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 NCT01359449, 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 19 Aug 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
