A Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Immunogenicity of ADACEL® Vaccine in Persons 65 Years of Age and Older
- Conditions
- PertussisTetanusDiphtheria
- Registration Number
- NCT00457249
- Lead Sponsor
- Sanofi
- Brief Summary
It is well recognized that older adults can contract pertussis, suffer its complications, and unwittingly transmit it to close contacts, which may well include infants too young to have received their primary series of DTaP vaccinations. ADACEL® vaccine is currently licensed in the US for persons 11 - 64 years of age, but no pertussis vaccine is yet approved for administration to older adults. The most widely used Td vaccine in the US, DECAVAC®, has no upper limit on its age indication.
The purpose of this trial is to describe the safety and immunogenicity of ADACEL® vaccine among individuals ≥ 65 years of age.

Name Time Method Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis Antibodies Pre- and Post-Vaccination With ADACEL® or DECAVAC® Vaccine Day 35 post-vaccination Percentage of Participants With Post-vaccination Tetanus and Diphtheria Concentrations ≥0.10 IU/mL (Seroprotection) ADACEL® or DECAVAC®. Day 35 post-vaccination Seroprotection was defined as a post-vaccination Concentrations of ≥0.10 IU/mL.
Percentage of Participants With Booster Response to Tetanus and Diphtheria Post-vaccination With ADACEL® or DECAVAC® Vaccine. Day 35 post-vaccination Booster response was defined as a minimum rise in antibody concentration from pre- to post-vaccination. The minimum rise is at least 2 times, if pre-vaccination concentration is above the the cutoff value (Tetanus 5.47 IU/mL; Diphtheria 1.28 IU/mL) or at least 4 times it it is at or below the cutoff value.
