Immunogenicity of Quadrivalent Meningococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Frequent Platelets Donors
- 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.

Group Intervention Description Low number plateletpheresis donations Menactra Participants that have had 1-2 plateletpheresis donations in the last 365 days. Menactra will be administered as a 0.5 mL dose. High number plateletpheresis donations Menactra Participants that have had 20-24 plateletpheresis donations in the last 365 days. Menactra will be administered as a 0.5 mL dose. Medium number plateletpheresis donations Menactra Participants that have had 3-19 plateletpheresis donations in the last 365 days. Menactra will be administered as a 0.5 mL dose.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Seroresponse of vaccine Months 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
Name Time Method Seroprotection Months 1 and 6. The pre- and post-vaccination seroprotection, such as SBA titer greater than or equal to 1:8.
