Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The aim of this extension study is to explore the antibody persistence 24 to 36 months after the last dose of vaccine, in infants that received a two or three dose primary series plus a booster dose at 11 months of age, of the Novartis meningococcal B vaccine (Bexsero®) in groups I to III of the parent V72_28 study.
This study will also explore the antibody persistence 24 to 36 months after two catch-up doses of the Novartis meningococcal B vaccine (Bexsero®) administered in children (2 to 10 years old) in group IV of the parent V72_28 study.

Time frame: 24-36 months after booster dose in the parent study; baseline for vaccine-naïve subjects
The antibody persistence in subjects, 24 to 36 months after completion of Bexsero® vaccination course in the parent study according to different schedules, is presented in terms of the percentage of subjects in each vaccine group, with hSBA titers ≥ 4 for what concerns the H44/76, 5/99 and NZ98/254 strains, and hSBA titers ≥ 5 for M10713 strain, alongside with the corresponding antibody responses in age-matched vaccine naïve subjects at baseline.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Bexsero® vaccine (1 dose at study month zero) and Bexsero® vaccine (2 doses 1 month apart) in people with Meningoccocal Disease and Meningococcal Meningitis, run by Novartis Vaccines at 17 sites in 2 countries.
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 13 inclusion and 21 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 30 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 17 sites in Hungary, Spain. 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 7 Dec 2018). 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 Subjects With Human Serum Bactericidal Activity Titers (hSBA) ≥ 4 or ≥ 5 Against Neisseria Meningitidis (N. Meningitidis) Serogroup B Strains (time frame: 24-36 months after booster dose in the parent study; baseline for vaccine-naïve subjects). The study lists 5 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 NCT01894919, 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 30 Nov 2021.
