    Measured: Day 30 (post-vaccination)

  11. Number of Participants With Immediate Unsolicited Adverse Events (AEs) After Vaccination

    An unsolicited AE was an observed AE that did not fulfill the conditions prelisted in the case report form (CRF) in terms of symptom and/or onset post-vaccination. Unsolicited AEs includes both serious and non-serious unsolicited AEs. A serious adverse event (SAE) was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was an important medical event. All participants were observed for 30 minutes after vaccination, and any unsolicited AEs occurred during that time were recorded as immediate unsolicited AEs in the CRF.

    Measured: Within 30 minutes after vaccination

  12. Number of Participants With Solicited Injection Site Reactions and Systemic Reactions After Vaccination

    A solicited reaction (SR) was an adverse reaction (AR) observed and reported under the conditions (symptom and onset) prelisted in the CRF. Solicited injection site reactions included: pain, erythema, and swelling. Solicited systemic reactions included: fever, headache, malaise and, myalgia.

    Measured: Within 7 days after vaccination

  13. Number of Participants With Unsolicited Adverse Events After Vaccination

    An unsolicited AE was an observed AE that does not fulfill the conditions prelisted in the CRF in terms of symptom and/or onset post-vaccination. Unsolicited AEs included both serious and non-serious unsolicited AEs. An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death, was life-threatening, required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or was an important medical event. Non-serious AE (AE excluding SAE) which was significant and prevented daily activity was considered as Grade 3 unsolicited non-serious AE.

    Measured: Within 30 days after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Meningococcal Polysaccharide (A, C, Y, and W 135) Tetanus Protein Conjugate Vaccine and Meningococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine, Groups A, C, Y, W 135 Combined in people with Meningitis and Meningococcal Meningitis, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 12 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 3 inclusion and 19 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 4 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 9 Jun 2020). 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 Antibody Titers ≥1:4 and ≥1:8 Measured by Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Human Complement (hSBA) Against Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W 135 Before Vaccination With MenACYW Conjugate Vaccine or Menomune® Vaccine (time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination)). The study lists 13 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 NCT01732627, 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 4 Apr 2022.
