About this study

Official title: A Protocol to Collect Human Serum Samples From Healthy Adults

The purpose of this study is to collect serum samples for use as quality control samples in GSK assays. The serum samples need to include samples with low, medium and high antibody titers/concentrations, which cover the assay range.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this protocol is to source human serum from plasma from healthy adults for use as control samples in the assays supporting the clinical development of GSK Biologicals' vaccines for the prevention of invasive infections caused by Neisseria meningitidis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Clostridium tetani and Bordetella pertussis. At the final visit, a small volume of whole blood will be obtained in addition to plasma, to allow for head to head comparison of serum obtained from whole blood (off-clot serum) and from plasma (serum derived from re-calcified plasma). In addition, sera generated in this clinical trial could potentially be used as control samples for other vaccine programs to help assure the quality of the analytical methods.

Subjects 18 through 49 years of age (have not yet achieved 50th birthday) will be randomized to receive Menveo + Boostrix and subjects 50 to 55 years of age will be randomized to receive either Pneumovax 23 or Prevnar 13 and will serve as donors of human serum in this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Menveo®, Boostrix® and Pneumovax 23® in people with Meningococcal, run by GlaxoSmithKline 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 11 inclusion and 37 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 27 Nov 2017. 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 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?

Collection of human plasma for conversion into serum. (time frame: At Visit 2 (Day 0).). 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?
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 27 Nov 2017.
