Immunology and Safety of Menactra® in Children in Saudi Arabia

April 12, 2016 updated by: Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company

Evaluation of the Response to a Single Dose of Menactra® in Children Aged 5 to 8 Years Who Had Previously Received Two Doses of Quadrivalent (A, C, Y, W-135) Meningococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine Before Age 2 Years in Saudi Arabia

This study will be conducted among children in Saudi Arabia who previously received two doses of A, C, Y, W-135 polysaccharide vaccine before the age of 2 years, and in meningococcal vaccine-naïve children (Control Group). This study will evaluate the administration of Menactra® in terms of the serum bactericidal antibody it induces in the two study groups. Safety of Menactra® vaccine will be described.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

1 year to 4 years (Child)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) as Measured by Serum Bactericidal Assay Using Baby Rabbit Complement (SBA-BR) Pre- and Post-Menactra® Vaccination.
Time Frame: Day 0 (baseline or pre-vaccination) and Day 28 Post-vaccination
Day 0 (baseline or pre-vaccination) and Day 28 Post-vaccination
Percentage of Participants With ≥ 4-Fold Rise in Titers for the Menactra® Vaccine Serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135.
Time Frame: Day 28 Post-vaccination
Day 28 Post-vaccination

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants Reporting At Least 1 Solicited Injection Site or Systemic Reaction Post-Vaccination With Menactra®
Time Frame: Days 0-7 Post-vaccination

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
