About this study

Official title: Open-label Phase 4 Study to Investigate the Seropersistence of Tick-borne Encephalitis (TBE) Virus Antibodies From 7 to 10 Years After the First Booster and the Response to a Second Booster Vaccination With FSME-IMMUN 0.5ml in Adults

The purpose of this study is to evaluate TBE antibody persistence from 7 to 10 years after the first booster TBE vaccination with FSME-IMMUN 0.5ml.

Being tested
FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml
Medical subject headings
Encephalitis, Tick-Borne

What participants receive

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

  • FSME-IMMUN 0.5 mlBiological

    Solution/suspension for injection (intramuscular injection into the deltoid muscle of the right or left upper arm). Dosage frequency of booster vaccination: dependent on serum TBE antibodies.

Study groups in NCT01582698
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Seropersistence evaluation + 2nd booster vaccinationExperimentalBlood will be drawn to assess the seropersistence of TBE virus antibodies at 82, 94, 106 and 118 months after the first booster vaccination with FSME-IMMUN 0.5ml administered during the first precursor study. Timing of the second booster vaccination will depend on the level of serum TBE antibodies observed during the study. Blood will be drawn 21 - 35 days after vaccination to assess the booster response.
Receives: Biological: FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml

What is being measured

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

  1. Seropositivity rate measured by neutralization test (NT) 82, 94, 106 and 118 months after the first booster TBE vaccination administered in the first precursor study and after the booster vaccination in this study

    Measured: 118 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Seropositivity rate measured by ELISA test 82, 94, 106 and 118 months after the first booster TBE vaccination administered in the first precursor study and after the booster vaccination in this study

    Measured: 118 months

  2. Antibody titers 82, 94, 106 and 118 months after the first booster TBE vaccination administered in the first precursor study and after the booster vaccination in this study measured by ELISA and by NT

    Measured: 118 months

  3. Fold increase in antibody concentration after the booster vaccination administered as compared to before the booster vaccination in this study measured by ELISA and by NT

    Measured: 118 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing FSME-IMMUN 0.5 ml in people with Tick-borne Encephalitis (TBE), run by Pfizer at 2 sites in Poland.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 22 Jan 2021. 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 Poland. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Seropositivity rate measured by neutralization test (NT) 82, 94, 106 and 118 months after the first booster TBE vaccination administered in the first precursor study and after the booster vaccination in this study (time frame: 118 months). 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 NCT01582698, 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 22 Jan 2021.
