Immunogenicity of Quadrivalent Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Frequent Platelets Donors

Phase 4
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Preventive Immunization; Meningitis
Interventions
Biological: Menactra
Registration Number
NCT04224311
Lead Sponsor
Brigham and Women's Hospital
Brief Summary

In this study, the investigators will evaluate the immunogenicity of a quadrivalent conjugate meningococcal vaccine in healthy, plateletpheresis donors.

Detailed Description

This will be an open-label prospective vaccine response study evaluating one dose of MenACWY-D in plateletpheresis donors at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH). Potential participants will be divided into three groups according to the number of plateletpheresis within 365 days of enrollment (including the day of enrollment): 1-2 sessions group (considered as the control group), 3-19 sessions group, 20-24 sessions group and randomly sampled from in allocation proportions of 0.45, 0.10, and 0.45, respectively; justification for this approach is provided in the Statistical Analysis section. MenACWY-D vaccine will be administered to each patient. Pre- and post-vaccination blood will be collected to assess immunogenicity, likely using serum bactericidal antibody (SBA) against Neisseria meningitidis for each serogroup. Immunogenicity will be primarily evaluated by seroresponse such as a fourfold increase of SBA titers between pre- and post-vaccination.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Seroresponse of vaccineMonths 1 and 6.

The primary outcome will be the seroresponse of MenACYW-D vaccination, such as a fourfold change of SBA titers between pre- and post-vaccination for each of the 4 antigens.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
SeroprotectionMonths 1 and 6.

The pre- and post-vaccination seroprotection, such as SBA titer greater than or equal to 1:8.
