About this study

Official title: A Sourcing Study to Collect Human Biological (Serum) Samples From Healthy Adults

The purpose of this study was to collect large volumes of matched pairs of pre- and post-vaccination sera from healthy subjects who administered GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals' vaccine against meningitis- MenACWY vaccine (Menveo) or rMenB+OMV NZ vaccine (Bexsero), which serves for the development, qualification, validation, and maintenance of immunological assays which supports the preclinical research activities and clinical development of GSK Biologicals' vaccines. The safety of the subjects given one of the two vaccines (Bexsero or Menveo), as per the recommended dosage and schedule were assessed during their participation in the study.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Atleast One Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Related to Vaccination

    An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity in a subject or is a congenital anomaly/ birth defect in the offspring of a study subject. AE(s) considered as SAE(s) also include invasive or malignant cancers, intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home for allergic bronchospasm, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in hospitalization, as per the medical or scientific judgement of the physician. Related=AE assessed by the investigator as related to the vaccination.

    Measured: Throughout the study period (approximately 4 years)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing rMenB+OMV NZ vaccine and Meningococcal Groups A, C, W and Y Conjugate Vaccine (MenACWY) in people with Meningitis, Meningococcal, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 6 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 10 inclusion and 27 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 17 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Australia, Germany. 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 17 Jul 2023). 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 Human Blood Samples Collected for Conversion Into Serum at Day -83 (time frame: At Day -83 [83 days before first vaccination (Day 1)]). The study lists 8 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 17 Jul 2023.
