About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity Study for Use of Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y and W-135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine (Menactra®) Versus Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed (Adacel®) in Subjects 11 to 55 Years of Age in South Korea

The aim of the study is to assess safety and immunogenicity of a single dose of Menactra® in support of registration of the vaccine in South Korea.

Primary Objective:

Read more
  • To demonstrate that the seroconversion rate is higher than 60% for serogroups A, C, Y and W-135, 28 days after a single dose of Menactra®.

Secondary objectives:

  • To demonstrate the superiority of Menactra® versus Adacel® in terms of seroconversion rate for serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135, 28 days after a single dose of vaccine

Read the detailed description

All participants will receive a single dose of vaccine, and will be assessed for immunogenicity at baseline (pre-vaccination) and at 28 days post-vaccination.

Safety data, including serious adverse events (SAEs) will be collected for Day 0 through Day 28 post-vaccination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion Following Vaccination With Either Menactra® or Adacel® Vaccine

    Functional antibody activity for anti-meningococcal antibody to serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 were measured using the Serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR).

    Seroconversion was defined as post-vaccination antibody titers of ≥ 4-fold increase from pre-vaccination level.

    Measured: 28 Days post-vaccination

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Functional Antibody Titers at ≥1:8 Dilution Before and After Menactra® or Adacel® Vaccination

    Functional antibody activity for anti-meningococcal antibody to serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 were measured using the Serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR) at ≥ 1:8 dilution.

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and 28 days post-vaccination

  2. Percentage of Participants With Functional Antibody Titers at ≥1:128 Dilution Before and After Menactra® or Adacel® Vaccination.

    Functional antibody activity for anti-meningococcal antibody to serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 were measured using the Serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR) at ≥ 1:128 dilution.

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and 28 days post-vaccination

  3. Geometric Mean Titers of Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Baby Rabbit Complement (SBA-BR) Antibody Against Serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 Before and After Menactra® or Adacel® Vaccination

    Functional antibody activity for anti-meningococcal antibody to serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 were measured using the Serum bactericidal assay using baby rabbit complement (SBA-BR).

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination) and 28 days post-vaccination

  4. Number of Participants Reporting Solicited Injection Site and Systemic Events Following Vaccination With Either Menactra® or Adacel® Vaccine

    Solicited injection site reactions: Pain, Redness, and Swelling. Solicited systemic reactions: Fever (Temperature), Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia.

    Grade 3 injection site reactions: Pain - Significant, prevents daily activity; Redness and Swelling - > 100 mm. Grade 3 Systemic reactions: Fever - ≥ 39.0°C; Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia - Significant, prevents daily activity.

    Measured: Day 0 up to Day 28 post-vaccination

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 Vaccine (Menactra®) and Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed in people with Meningitis and Meningococcal Disease, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 7 sites in South Korea.

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 3 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in South Korea. 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 3 Dec 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?

Percentage of Participants With Seroconversion Following Vaccination With Either Menactra® or Adacel® Vaccine (time frame: 28 Days post-vaccination). 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 3 Dec 2013.
