What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With At Least 1 Local Reaction Within 14 Days of Vaccination

    Local reactions were recorded using an electronic daily diary. Local reactions included redness, swelling and pain at injection site. Redness and swelling were defined as mild (2.5 to 5.0 centimeters [cm]), moderate (5.5 to 10.0 cm) and, severe (greater than or equal to [>=] 10.5 cm). Pain at injection site was defined as mild (did not interfere with activity), moderate (interfered with activity), and severe (prevented daily activity). In this outcome measure percentage of participants with any local reaction was reported.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Day 14

  2. Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions by Severity Within 14 Days of Vaccination

    Local reactions were recorded using an electronic daily diary. Local reactions included redness, swelling and pain at injection site. Redness and swelling were graded as mild (2.5 to 5.0 cm), moderate (5.5 to 10.0 cm) and, severe (>=10.5 cm). Pain at injection site was graded as mild (did not interfere with activity), moderate (interfered with activity), and severe (prevented daily activity).

    Measured: Day 1 up to Day 14

  3. Percentage of Participants With At Least 1 Systemic Event Within 14 Days of Vaccination

    Systemic reactions included fever, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint pain (other than at the injection site) and recorded by using an e-diary. Fever was graded as 37.5 to 38.4 degree Celsius (C), 38.5 to 38.9 degree C, 39.0 to 40.0 degree C and greater than (>) 40.0 degree C. Vomiting was graded as mild (1-2 times in 24 hours), moderate (>2 times in 24 hours) and severe (required intravenous hydration). Diarrhea was graded as mild (2-3 loose stools in 24 hours), moderate (4-5 loose stools in 24 hours) and severe (>=6 loose stools in 24 hours). Headache, fatigue, muscle pain and joint pain were graded as mild (no interference with activity), moderate (some interference with activity) and severe (significant, prevented daily activity). In this outcome measure percentage of participants with any systemic event was reported.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Day 14

  4. Percentage of Participants With Systemic Events by Severity Within 14 Days of Vaccination

    Systemic reactions included fever, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, muscle and joint pain (other than at the injection site) and recorded by using an e-diary. Fever was graded as 37.5 to 38.4 degree C, 38.5 to 38.9 degree C, 39.0 to 40.0 degree C and >40.0 degree C. Vomiting was graded as mild (1-2 times in 24 hours), moderate (>2 times in 24 hours) and severe (required intravenous hydration). Diarrhea was graded as mild (2-3 loose stools in 24 hours), moderate (4-5 loose stools in 24 hours) and severe (>=6 loose stools in 24 hours). Headache, fatigue, muscle pain and joint pain were graded as mild (no interference with activity), moderate (some interference with activity) and severe (significant, prevented daily activity).

    Measured: Day 1 up to Day 14

  5. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) Reported From Day 1 Up to Day 29 Visit

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received investigational product without regard to possibility of causal relationship. AEs included both serious and non-serious AEs. Treatment-emergent AEs were events between the administration of investigational product and up to Day 29 that were absent before vaccination or that worsened relative to pre-administration state.

    Measured: Day 1 up to Day 29

  6. Percentage of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAE) Reported After Day 29 Visit Through Month 12

    An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received investigational product without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly or deemed medically significant for any other reason. A treatment emergent AE was defined as an event that emerged during the study that was absent before administration of investigational product, or worsened relative to the pre-administration state. AEs reported during this time period included both SAEs and newly diagnosed chronic medical disorders (NDCMD). A NDCMD was defined as a disease or medical condition that was not identified prior to study start and was expected to be persistent or otherwise long-lasting in its effects.

    Measured: After Day 29 up to Month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Staphylococcus aureus 4-antigen vaccine in people with Staphylococcal Infections, run by Pfizer at 2 sites in Japan.

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 8 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 Jul 2018. 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 Japan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 30 Jul 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 Participants With At Least 1 Local Reaction Within 14 Days of Vaccination (time frame: Day 1 up to Day 14). 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?
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 Jul 2018.
