A Phase 4 study testing Bexsero® and Havrix® in people with Meningococcal Serogroup B, run by Canadian Immunization Research Network at 1 site in Canada.
Trial summary
The overall aim of this study is to determine if an accelerated "Bexsero® (Multicomponent meningococcal B vaccine)" schedule compared to a standard schedule is immunogenic, safe, and tolerable, in order to increase capacity for rapid outbreak control.

About this study
Official title: Preparedness for and Response to Meningococcal Outbreaks: a Pilot Study of the Immunogenicity, Reactogenicity and Tolerability of Two Schedules of a 4CmenB Vaccine in Adolescents and Young Adults
The overall aim of this study is to determine if an accelerated "Bexsero® (Multicomponent meningococcal B vaccine)" schedule compared to a standard schedule is immunogenic, safe, and tolerable, in order to increase capacity for rapid outbreak control. In this pilot study no formal hypothesis is tested.
Read the detailed description
A pilot study to evaluate the feasibility of a rapid clinical trial at the time of a meningococcal B outbreak, comparing an accelerated schedule of 4CMen B (0, 3 weeks) to the 0, 2 months schedule, to determine if the more compressed schedule is immunogenic, safe and tolerable. A shorter schedule offers the potential benefit of more rapid direct and indirect protection, and use of fewer public health resources for implementation.
- Conditions
- Meningococcal Serogroup B
- Being tested
- Bexsero®, Havrix®

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

- To a single dose of 4CMenB vaccine 21 days post-immunization
- 21 days after the second dose of an accelerated compared to a standard 4CMenB schedule
- Six months after an accelerated 4CMenB vaccine schedule and a standard schedule
Measured: Baseline to day 180
Secondary outcomes (4)
Number of solicited general adverse events
The number of participants in each vaccine group with each symptom day 0 to 6 after vaccine will be summarized. Each vaccine participant will record if they had any symptoms (yes/no) and the severity (mild, moderate, or severe.)
The following general AEs will be solicited:

- Fever
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Generalized muscle aches
Measured: Day 0-6
Number of unsolicited general adverse events
The number of participants in each vaccine group with each symptom day 0 to 21 after vaccine will be summarized. Each vaccine participant will record if they had any symptoms (yes/no) and the severity (mild, moderate, or severe.)
Measured: Day 0-21
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0 reported in the accelerated vaccine schedule compared to a standard schedule
Measured: From injection to Day 180
Number of solicited local and systemic injections site reactions
The following local (injection-site) AEs will be solicited:
- Pain at injection site
- Redness at injection site
- Swelling at injection site
Measured: Day 0-6

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 4 study testing Bexsero® and Havrix® in people with Meningococcal Serogroup B, run by Canadian Immunization Research Network 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 5 inclusion and 7 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 31 Jan 2019. 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?
Immune responses to 4CMenB vaccine, as measured by human Serum Bactericidal Assay (hSBA (time frame: Baseline to day 180). 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 NCT02583412, 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 31 Jan 2019.
