About this study

In this study, the investigators will evaluate the immunogenicity of a quadrivalent conjugate meningococcal vaccine in healthy, plateletpheresis donors.

Read the detailed description

This will be an open-label prospective vaccine response study evaluating one dose of MenACWY-D in plateletpheresis donors at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH). Potential participants will be divided into three groups according to the number of plateletpheresis within 365 days of enrollment (including the day of enrollment): 1-2 sessions group (considered as the control group), 3-19 sessions group, 20-24 sessions group and randomly sampled from in allocation proportions of 0.45, 0.10, and 0.45, respectively; justification for this approach is provided in the Statistical Analysis section. MenACWY-D vaccine will be administered to each patient. Pre- and post-vaccination blood will be collected to assess immunogenicity, likely using serum bactericidal antibody (SBA) against Neisseria meningitidis for each serogroup. Immunogenicity will be primarily evaluated by seroresponse such as a fourfold increase of SBA titers between pre- and post-vaccination.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MenactraBiological

    0.5 mL dosage of Menactra will be administered by intramuscular injection in the deltoid muscle on day 0.

What is being measured

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

  1. Seroresponse of vaccine

    The primary outcome will be the seroresponse of MenACYW-D vaccination, such as a fourfold change of SBA titers between pre- and post-vaccination for each of the 4 antigens.

    Measured: Months 1 and 6.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Seroprotection

    The pre- and post-vaccination seroprotection, such as SBA titer greater than or equal to 1:8.

    Measured: Months 1 and 6.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Menactra in people with Preventive Immunization; Meningitis, run by Brigham and Women's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Nov 2022. 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 United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Seroresponse of vaccine (time frame: Months 1 and 6.). 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 NCT04224311, 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 15 Nov 2022.
