About this study

Official title: Immunogenicity and Safety of Bivalent Meningococcal Serogroups A and C Tetanus Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine in Chinese Healthy Children Aged 3 Months to 5 Years.: A Randomized, Blinded, Positive Controlled Phase III Clinical Trial

Invasive meningococcal disease and meningococcal meningitis caused by Neisseria meningitidis have their highest incidence in children, with a second peak in adolescents and young adults. The most important disease-causing serogroups are meningococcal serogroups A (MenA) and MenC in Asia, such as China. The specific vaccine use in each country depends on the predominant serogroups, cost, and availability. conjugate vaccines are preferred to polysaccharide vaccines due to their impact on decreasing nasopharyngeal carriage of N. meningitidis and their overall increased immunogenicity in children. This clinical trial is planning to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of bivalent meningococcal serogroups A and C tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine in Chinese healthy children aged 3 months to 5 years.

Read the detailed description

Invasive meningococcal disease and meningococcal meningitis caused by Neisseria meningitidis have their highest incidence in children, with a second peak in adolescents and young adults. The most important disease-causing serogroups are meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), MenB, MenC, MenW and MenY. Their prevalence varies geographically, MenA and MenC being more prominent in Asia. Neisseria meningitidis is one of the leading causes of bacterial meningitis globally. The annual number of cases related to invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is estimated to be at least 1.2 million with 135 000 deaths.1 To combat IMD, an increasing number of countries have included vaccines against N. meningitidis in their routine immunization programs. The specific vaccine use in each country depends on the predominant serogroups, cost, and availability. Polysaccharide vaccines were used in high risk people in Saudi Arabia and Syria and in routine immunization in China and Egypt. In general, conjugate vaccines are preferred to polysaccharide vaccines due to their impact on decreasing nasopharyngeal carriage of N. meningitidis and their overall increased immunogenicity in children. This clinical trial is planning to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of bivalent meningococcal serogroups A and C tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine in Chinese healthy children aged 3 months to 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing experimental vaccine in people with Vaccine, run by Jiangsu Province Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

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 16 inclusion and 17 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 22 Oct 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

seroconversion rates of antibodies after vaccination (time frame: 28 days after vaccination). The study lists 2 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 NCT03714737, 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 22 Oct 2018.
