Persistence of Protective Antibody Titers 12-24 Months After NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT Vaccination: Follow Up Study

April 8, 2016 updated by: JN-International Medical Corporation

Duration of Protection Based on Persistent Antibody Titers 12-24 Months After Vaccination: Follow Up to Phase 2 Study of Meningococcal Serogroups A, C, Y & W-135 Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine (NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT)

To determine the persistence of protective antibody levels for subjects who seroconverted after vaccination with NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT™

Participants in trial # JN-NM-002, who seroconverted for serogroups A and C will be contacted and asked to provide a blood sample at 12-24 months after vaccination with NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT.

Serum Bactericidal Assays will be performed to evaluated duration of protective antibody titer for NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT for all four serogroups. To determine if subjects who seroconverted with lower titers retain protective levels of antibody (titer ≥:8) at 12-24 months after vaccination.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to collect serum samples to evaluate duration of protection for NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT, based on titers determined by Serum Bactericidal Assay with human complement (hSBA). This assay is used to evaluate immunogenicity of meningococcal vaccines, as a surrogate for efficacy. A titer ≥ 1:8 is considered protective.

Objectives are to evaluate duration of protective antibody titer for NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT for all four serogroups, and determine if subjects with lower titers, but ≥:8 retain protective levels of antibody at 12-24 months.

Participants in trial # JN-NM-002, who seroconverted for serogroups A and C will be contacted and asked to provide a blood sample at 12-24 months after vaccination with NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT™.

Serum Bactericidal Assays will be performed to evaluated persistence of protective antibody titer for NmVac4-A/C/Y/W-135-DT for all four serogroups, to determine if subjects who seroconverted with lower titers retain protective levels of antibody (titer ≥:8) at 12-24 months after vaccination.
