Active clinical trials for "Meningococcal Infections"

This study is aimed at studying quadrivalent meningococcal (A, C, Y, and W-135) Tetanus Protein Conjugate Vaccine (TetraMen-T) formulations in Toddlers. Primary Objectives: Safety and Immunogenicity: To describe the safety and immunogenicity profiles of: A single dose of each formulation of TetraMen-T vaccine A single dose of NeisVac-C® vaccine.

Primary :1.To demonstrate a sufficient immune response of rMenB+OMV NZ, when given concomitantly with routine infant vaccines to healthy infants at 2, 4 and 6 and 2, 3 and 4 months of age, as measured by percentage of subjects with serum bactericidal activity (SBA) titer ≥1:5, at 1 month after the third vaccination Secondary :To demonstrate that immunogenicity of routine infant vaccines, when given concomitantly with rMenB+OMV NZ to healthy infants at 2, 3 and 4 months of age, was non-inferior to that of routine infant vaccines given without rMenB+OMV NZ. 2. To demonstrate that the immunogenicity of rMenB+OMV NZ when given concomitantly with routine infant vaccines was non-inferior to that of rMenB+OMV NZ given without routine infant vaccines at 2, 4 and 6 months of age. 3. To assess prevalence of meningococcal B antibodies over the study period by evaluation of SBA, at baseline and at 1 month after third vaccination, in subjects- received routine infant vaccine without rMenB+OMV NZ.

In this study, the concentration of antibody to the vaccine one year, three and five years after vaccination in subjects who were vaccinated with GSK Biologicals' meningococcal vaccine GSK134612 in a previous study (whose objectives & outcome measures are presented in a separate protocol posting with NCT number =00471081) will be evaluated. The safety and immune response of a booster dose of vaccine GSK134612 administered at 5 years post-primary vaccination will also be evaluated. In addition, the immune response to a dose of vaccine GSK134612 administered to age-matched controls not previously given a meningococcal vaccine will be evaluated. This protocol posting has been updated further to protocol amendment 2, dated 28 october 2010. The sections impacted are summary, study design, outcome measures, intervention, and eligibility criteria.

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether or not GSK Biologicals' meningococcal vaccine GSK134612 is inferior to a licensed MenC-CRM197 conjugate vaccine in terms of vaccine antibody response against meningococcal serogroup C disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a vaccine based on outer membrane vesicles (NOMV) from genetically detoxified group B meningococcus is safe and effective for use as a vaccine. If so, the NOMV in this vaccine will be combined with NOMV from two other genetically modified strains as a potentially globally effective vaccine against group B meningococcus.

This extension study V72P12E1 will investigate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of a fourth (booster) dose of rMenB+OMV NZ at 12, 18 and 24 months of age in subjects previously primed with rMenB+OMV NZ according to two different three-dose immunization schedules in infancy (2, 4 and 6 or 2, 3 and 4 months of age in the parent study V72P12). The study will also explore the bactericidal antibody persistence at 12, 18 and 24 months of age, following the two different immunization schedules, in order to identify the optimal timing for boosting. Two catch-up rMenB+OMV NZ doses will be given to unprimed, naïve toddlers at 12 (subjects enrolled in the control group of V72P12), 18 and 24 months of age (two new cohort of subjects enrolled). These subjects will generate data for assessing the safety and immunogenicity of a two-dose catch-up regimen at these ages, but will also serve as controls for a descriptive comparison of antibody persistence and booster responses for the other groups.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, immunogenicity and persistence up to three years after administration of one dose of the MenACWY conjugate vaccine when given to young adults aged 18-25 years.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of one dose of four different formulations of the MenACWY conjugate vaccine when given to healthy children aged 12-14 months and 3-5 years. The selection of the best formulation will be based on data obtained up to one month after the vaccine dose. The Protocol Posting has been updated in order to comply with the FDA Amendment Act, Sep 2007.

To explore safety, Tolerability and immunogenicity of two formulations of a Meningococcal B Recombinant Vaccine when administered to healthy infants.

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate, in 11-17 year old subjects, the non-inferiority of meningococcal vaccine GSK134612 compared to licensed meningococcal vaccine Mencevax™.
