Safety and Immunogenicity Following Meningococcal and Pneumococcal Immunization Among Adult People Living With HIV (MENPI)

May 5, 2021 updated by: Thomas Benfield

Safety and Immunogenicity Following Meningococcal and Pneumococcal Immunization Among Adult People Living With HIV: A Single Center, Non-blinded, Randomized Clinical Trial

MENPI is an investigator-initiated single-centre randomized controlled trial which aims to assess the efficacy and safety of meningococcal and pneumococcal vaccination in adults living with HIV receiving antiretroviral treatment.

Participants are randomized 1:1 to either a two-dose Menveo® and Bexsero® regimen or a Prevenar13®/Pneumovax23® prime-boost regimen at day 0 and day 60 and cross over on day 90. All participants will follow an identical follow up program including plasma collection, pharyngeal swab, and adverse event registration.

Immunogenicity will be determined on venous blood sampled at 30 days post-vaccination and yearly for five years.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in immunogenic response from baseline, Menveo
Time Frame: Day 30 and year 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 post-vaccination
A ≥4-fold rise in rabbit complement source (rSBA) for the four serogroups A, C, Y, and W-135. Seroprotection is defined as an rSBA titre ≥1:8 and patients will be classified as previously immune if baseline rSBA is ≥1:8.
Day 30 and year 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 post-vaccination
Change in immunogenic response from baseline, Bexsero
Time Frame: Day 30 and year 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 post-vaccination
A ≥4-fold rise in antibody titers against a panel of four meningococcal serogroup B reference strains between pre-vaccination and post-vaccination timepoints, or a post-vaccination antibody titre ratio of ≥1:4 for individuals who were seronegative before vaccination.
Day 30 and year 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 post-vaccination
Change in immunogenic response from baseline, Prevenar13/Pneumovax23
Time Frame: Day 30 and year 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 post-vaccination
A ≥2-fold rise in serum anti-capsular IgG GMC for 12 shared pneumococcal polysaccharides (1, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F)
Day 30 and year 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 post-vaccination

Secondary Outcome Measures

30 minutes post-vaccination
Number of participants with short term adverse events
Time Frame: Day 5 post vaccination
Day 5 post vaccination
Number of participants with long term adverse events
Time Frame: Day 90 post-vaccination
Day 90 post-vaccination
Streptococcus pneumoniae carriage rates
Time Frame: Baseline and day 30 post-vaccination
Proportion of study subject with a culture or PCR positive pharyngeal swab sample
Baseline and day 30 post-vaccination
Neisseria meningitidis carriage rates
Time Frame: Baseline and day 30 post-vaccination
Proportion of study subject with a culture or PCR positive pharyngeal swab sample
Baseline and day 30 post-vaccination
