Persistence of Bactericidal Antibodies in Adults Who Received a Booster Dose of Menactra® Approximately 4 Years Earlier

A Phase 4 interventional study of Meningococcal (Groups A, C, Y, and W-135) Polysaccharide Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine in Meningitis, Meningococcal Meningitis and Meningococcal Infections, sponsored by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company. Completed at 4 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-11-07.

Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Meningitis, Meningococcal, a narrower term within Meningitis.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Study summary

The aim of this study is to provide information on the persistence of bactericidal antibodies following Menactra booster vaccination in study MTA77 ( NCT01442675).

Objective:

  • To evaluate the persistence of antibody responses (determined by a serum bactericidal assay using human complement (SBA-HC)) approximately 4 years after the administration of a booster dose of Menactra vaccine in trial MTA77
Read the detailed description

All eligible subjects will provide 1 blood sample at Visit 1. The duration of each subject's participation in the trial will be the duration of 1 visit (for enrollment and blood draw)

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

The record gives a start of Dec 2015, a primary completion of Feb 2016 and a completion of Mar 2016. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Nov 2016, 9 months after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 7, 2016, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
