Active clinical trials for "Meningitis, Meningococcal"

The purpose of this phase 2 study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of two doses of 4 different investigational MenABCWY combination vaccine when administered to healthy adolescents aged 11-18 years.

The primary objective was to evaluate the persistence of bactericidal antibodies in children 40 and 60 months of age previously enrolled in the V59P14 (NCT00474526) study who received Novartis MenACWY Conjugate Vaccine. The study also enrolled age-matched subjects who have never received any meningococcal vaccine (naïve subjects) to serve as a control group. In addition, the response of a booster dose at 60 months was evaluated.

Clinical trial phase I, randomized, double blind, where 30 individuals will receive the experimental vaccine while 30 other volunteers will receive a meningococcal C conjugate vaccine already licensed in Brazil and available in the National Immunization Program for children less than 12 months of age. The primary outcome of the study is to evaluate the safety profile of the vaccine under test, which should allow its application in humans. Secondly, the investigators will study its immunogenicity from the evaluation of the correlates of seroprotection for meningococcal, defined by the World Health Organization (WHO).

The purpose of this trial is to describe antibody persistence and response to re-vaccination with either Menactra® or Menomune® vaccine approximately three years following initial vaccination in adults who participated in trial MTA29 (NCT00874549). Objectives: To describe the rates of immediate reactions, solicited injection-site and systemic reactions, all unsolicited adverse events, and serious adverse events following vaccination. To evaluate persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies in subjects who received Menactra® or Menomune® vaccine approximately three years ago. To evaluate the immune response to serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135 in subjects re-vaccinated with either Menactra® or Menomune® vaccine.

Primary objective: To assess the immunogenicity of the Mencevax ACW135 polysaccharide vaccine at 28 days (+6days) post vaccination in 2-4, 5-14, 15-29 year age groups and compare the immunogenicity between these age groups. Secondary Objectives: To estimate the incidence of common adverse events following immunization (AEFI) of GSK Nm ACW135 polysaccharide vaccine at 1h, 1d, 2d, 3d, 7d and 28 days post-vaccination To assess the persistence of antibody against meningitis A, C and W135 at 11 and 23 months post vaccination in 2-4, 5-14, 15-29 year age groups Study site:Two rural communities (Kebele) in Butajira district, Ethiopia. Methods: Phase II, open and parallel safety and immunogenicity trial. 234 younger children (2-4 years), 145 older children (5-14 years) and 33 adults (15-29 years of age) were randomly selected from the demographic surveillance database and enrolled after screening and consenting. Study participant received Mencevax ACW polysaccharide vaccine 50 mg in 0.5ml subcutaneously. Blood samples for measuring SBA titres were collected at pre vaccination and on day 28 (+6 days) post vaccination. Active follow up for AEFI on post vaccination day 0, 1, 2, 3, 7, & 28. Primary end point was vaccine response defined as sero-conversion (in subjects initially seronegative) or a 4 fold increase (in subjects initially seropositive) in serum bactericidal antibodies (SBA) against serogroups Men A, C and W135) on post vaccination day 28. In addition seroconversion was assessed by ELISA Men A IgG on day 0 and day 28 post vaccination. Secondary endpoints were incidence of general and local symptoms and other adverse events following immunisation during the post vaccination period day 0 to 28 and immune persistence on post vaccination month-11 and month-23. Results: No significant difference in the incidence of general or local AEFI was observed between the age groups The statistical analysis for the Immunogenicity data is in progress

The primary objective is to evaluate the persistence of bactericidal antibodies in adolescents previously enrolled in the V59P13 study who received either Novartis MenACWY Conjugate Vaccine or commercially available MenACWY conjugate vaccine. 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.

To compare the functional immune response 28 days after administration of one dose of Men ACWY-CRM conjugate vaccine without adjuvant (MenACWY-CRM(Ad-)) with that of a Men ACWY polysaccharide (PS) vaccine

Immunogenicity and Safety of the Concomitant Administration of a Tdap Vaccine and Meningococcal ACWY Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Subjects Aged 11-25 Years

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of Meningococcal ACYW135 Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine in healthy volunteers aged from 3 months to 35 years.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the production of antibodies to a new conjugate vaccine, NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT, as a measure of vaccine effectiveness, compared to the production of antibodies to a similar, licensed meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y, W-135) polysaccharide diphtheria toxoid (DT) conjugate vaccine. The investigators will also evaluate the safety of NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT™ conjugate vaccine compared to the licensed vaccine. The hypothesis is that the test vaccine is comparable to the licensed active control vaccine.
