About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity and Safety of Two-Dose Series of a Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y and W-135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine (SP284; Menactra®) in Japanese Healthy Adult Subjects

The aim of this study was to collect further information regarding an increase immune response of SP284 after an additional dose in Japanese participants.

Primary Objective:

  • To evaluate and describe the immune responses to meningococcal antigens (serogroups A,C, Y and W-135) at 28 days following each vaccination with SP284 vaccine in participants 20 through 55 years of age.

Other Pre-specified objective:

  • To describe the safety in terms of immediate systemic adverse events (AEs), solicited reactions, unsolicited non-serious adverse events, and serious adverse events (SAEs) following receipt of each dose of SP284 vaccine in persons 20 through 55 years of age.
Read the detailed description

All participants received a 2-dose series of the study vaccine with 8-week interval and was monitored for safety and assessed for immunogenicity at baseline (pre-vaccination) and at 28 to 35 days following each vaccination.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 Antibody Titers >=1:128

    Meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 antibody titers were measured by Serum Bactericidal Assay using Baby Rabbit complement (SBA-BR).

    Measured: Day 0 (pre-vaccination), Day 28 post-vaccination 1, Day 28 post-vaccination 2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y and W-135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate in people with Meningitis and Meningococcal Meningitis, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 1 site 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 6 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 6 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 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. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Nov 2017). 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?

Number of Participants With Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 Antibody Titers >=1:128 (time frame: Day 0 (pre-vaccination), Day 28 post-vaccination 1, Day 28 post-vaccination 2). 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 6 Nov 2017.
