Active clinical trials for "Meningococcal Infections"

This study will investigate the breadth of protection against meningococcal disease in humans immunized with a newly FDA approved meningococcal B vaccine, trade name "Trumenba®" manufactured by Pfizer Vaccines. As a secondary goal the investigators will investigate underlying mechanisms by which human anti-FHbp antibodies elicit complement-mediated bactericidal activity.

This study is to assess the longevity of immune response in adolescents for approximately 48 months after receipt of a primary series of bivalent rLP2086 vaccination, which is then followed by a booster dose and an assessment of immune response for 12 or 26 months post booster vaccination.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the immune response of toddlers, to a booster dose in the second year of life of two meningococcal C conjugated polysaccharide vaccine, and to assess the interchangeability of the two different vaccines.

This study is aimed to assess whether the frequency of meningococcal serogroup A, C, W-135 and Y specific memory B Cells, measured 1 month after a primary vaccination series of Novartis MenACWY vaccine, predicts the specific serum bactericidal activity using human complement (hSBA) of (respectively) serogroup A, C, W-135 and Y at 12 months of age

This study will be conducted among adolescents in Saudi Arabia who previously received one dose of A, C, Y, W 135 and at least one dose of A, C meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine. This study will evaluate the booster administration of Menactra® (Meningococcal A, C, Y, and W 135 Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate vaccine) compared with Mencevax® (Meningococcal A, C, Y, and W 135 Polysaccharide vaccine)in terms of their serum bactericidal antibody responses.

The primary objective is to evaluate the persistence of bactericidal antibodies in adolescent subjects who completed study V59P6 in which they received either Novartis Meningococcal (MenACWY) Conjugate Vaccine or Licensed polysaccharide Men ACWY vaccine (Menomune®). The study will also enroll age-matched subjects who have never received any other meningococcal vaccine (naïve subjects) to serve as an additional control group.

The proposed study is aimed to assess the antibody response and short-term persistence of Novartis Meningococcal B Vaccine after one, two or three doses and to evaluate the optimal vaccination schedule in an adolescent population.

To explore the potential benefit of the administration of Menactra vaccine as a two-dose regimen to children. Primary Objective: To assess, by age group, the immune response to Menactra vaccine after each vaccine injection.

Primary objective is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody response against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of a 3-dose series of MenACYW conjugate vaccine compared to a 3-dose series of a licensed meningococcal vaccine when each vaccine is given concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines (10-valent pneumococcal vaccine and diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis B, poliomyelitis and Haemophilus influenzae type b [DTaP-IPV-HB-Hib vaccine]) to infants and toddlers 6 weeks to 18 months old Secondary objectives are: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody (Ab) response against meningococcal serogroups A, C, Y, and W following the administration of 2 doses in infancy of MenACYW conjugate vaccine compared to 2 doses of a licensed meningococcal vaccine when each vaccine is given concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccines (10-valent pneumococcal vaccine and DTaP-IPV-HB-Hib vaccine) to infants and toddlers 6 weeks to 18 months old. To describe the Ab responses against meningococcal groups A, C, Y, and W and the antigens of the routine pediatric vaccines administered in the study.

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody responses to meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y in terms of hSBA vaccine seroprotection (antibody titer ≥ 1:8) when MenACYW conjugate vaccine is administered concomitantly with Bexsero® in the second year of life compared to when MenACYW conjugate vaccine is given alone The secondary objective is to compare the hSBA antibody response in terms of geometric mean titers (GMTs) against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y when MenACYW conjugate vaccine is administered concomitantly with Bexsero® or when MenACYW conjugate vaccine is given alone in the second year of life; to describe the hSBA and rSBA antibody responses against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y before and after the 1st dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine administered at 3 months of age, before and after the 2nd dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine administered at 12 to 13 months of age for Group 1 and Group 2; to describe the hSBA and rSBA antibody persistence against meningococcal serogroups A, C, W, and Y after the 1st dose of MenACYW conjugate vaccine administered at 3 months of age for Group 1 and Group 2
