Study to Evaluate Persistence of Antibodies After Vaccination With Meningococcal Vaccine GSK 134612

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Infections, Meningococcal
Interventions
Procedure: Blood Sampling
Registration Number
NCT00974363
Lead Sponsor
GlaxoSmithKline
Brief Summary

Subjects were previously vaccinated at 11 to 17 years of age. This extension phase starts 24 months after vaccination and the subjects who were vaccinated in the primary study will be enrolled in this extension phase. No new subjects will be enrolled.

Detailed Description

Subjects were previously vaccinated at 11 to 17 months of age with GSK Biologicals' meningococcal vaccine 134612 or with Mencevax™. This extension phase starts 24 months after vaccination and the subjects who were vaccinated in the primary study will be enrolled in this extension phase. No new studies will be enrolled. The subjects will have 4 blood samples taken: at 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after vaccination.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Seroprotected Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal SerogroupsAt Month 60 post primary dose

A seroprotected subject was defined as a subject who had anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) antibody titers equal to or above (≥) the cut-off value of 1:8. The persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies was evaluated using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) titers. The blood analyses for this timepoint were performed solely at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Antibody Concentrations Against the Vaccine PolysaccharidesAt Month 24 post primary dose

Antibody concentrations against polysaccharide A (anti-PSA), polysaccharide C (anti-PSC), polysaccharide W-135 (anti-PSW-135) and polysaccharide Y (anti-PSY) assessed were equal to or above (≥) the cut-off values of 0.3 micrograms/milliliter (µg/mL ) and 2.0 micrograms/milliliter (µg/mL). Concentration of antibodies was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Number of Seropositive Subjects Against the Vaccine Meningococcal SerogroupsAt Months 24, 36, 48 and 60 post primary dose

A seropositive subject was defined as a subject who had the anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) antibody titers equal to or above (≥) the cut-off value of 1:128. The persistence of serum bactericidal antibodies was evaluated using baby rabbit complement (rSBA) titers. The blood analyses were performed at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory and at GSK Biologicals' laboratory.

Number of Subjects With Antibody Concentrations Against the Vaccine PolysaccharidesAt Month 24 post primary dose

Antibody concentrations against polysaccharide A (anti-PSA), polysaccharide C (anti-PSC), polysaccharide W-135 (anti-PSW-135) and polysaccharide Y (anti-PSY) assessed were equal to or above (≥) the cut-off values of 0.3 micrograms/milliliter (µg/mL ) and 2.0 micrograms/milliliter (µg/mL). Concentration of antibodies was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Antibody Titers Against the Vaccine Meningococcal SerogroupsAt Months 24, 36, 48 and 60 post primary dose

Seropositivity status was defined as the anti-meningococcal serogroups A (MenA), C (MenC), W-135 (MenW-135) and Y (MenY) titers equal to or above the cut-off value of 1:128. Antibody titers were presented as geometric mean titers (GMTs). The blood analyses were performed at the Public Health of England's (PHE) laboratory and at GSK Biologicals' laboratory.
