About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity and Safety of a Tetanus-diphtheria Vaccine and a 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine After Concomitant Vaccination in ≥50-year-old Adults

When two or more vaccines are administered concurrently, there is a concern on vaccine interaction, which can either enhance or suppress immune response to vaccine antigens. This study is designed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of tetanus-diphtheria (Td) and pneumococcal vaccines after concomitant administration in adults aged 50 years and older.

Read the detailed description

Vaccination would be the most effective strategy to prevent diverse infectious diseases. Actually, The World Health Organization (WHO) estimate that vaccination averts 2-3 million deaths per year. In adults, several vaccines are recommended based on age and medical conditions if they have not receive vaccination before, and lack evidence of past infection: influenza, measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), varicella, human papilloma virus (HPV), tetanus-diphtheria (Td), pneumococcl vaccines and etc. In particular, when the patient visits a vaccination clinic, Td and the pneumococcal vaccines are commonly administered at the same time. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Td vaccine and PCV13 after concomitant administration in adults aged 50 years. This single-center, open label randomized trial was conducted (Clinical Trial Number - NCT02215863) at Korea University Guro Hospital from November 2013 to April 2016. Adults ≥50 years of age were randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive Td + PCV13 (Group 1), PCV13 alone (Group 2) or Td alone (Group 3).

Being tested
Tetanus-diphtheria (Td) and PCV13, PCV13 alone, Td alone

What is being measured

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

  1. Tetanus antibody titers at day 28 post-vaccination

    IgG antibody titers by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) Seroprotection rate: percentage of subjects with a post-vaccination antibody levels ≥0.1 IU/mL

    Measured: 4 weeks after vaccination

  2. Diphtheria antibody titers at day 28 post-vaccination

    IgG antibody titers by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)

    Measured: 4 weeks after vaccination

  3. Tetanus seroprotection rate at day 28 post-vaccination

    Proportion of IgG antibody titers ≥0.1 IU/mL

    Measured: 4 weeks after vaccination

  4. Diphtheria seroprotection rate at day 28 post-vaccination

    Proportion of IgG antibody titers ≥0.1 IU/mL

    Measured: 4 weeks after vaccination

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Opsonophagocytic assay (OPA) titers for PCV13

    Four capsule serotypes: 1, 5, 18C and 19A

    Measured: 4 weeks after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Tetanus-diphtheria (Td) and PCV13, PCV13 alone and Td alone in people with Tetanus and Diphtheria, run by Korea University Guro Hospital.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 11 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Tetanus antibody titers at day 28 post-vaccination (time frame: 4 weeks after vaccination). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03552445, 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 11 Jun 2018.
