Study summary

This study evaluated the seroprevalence of Bordetella pertussis antibodies and anti-pertussis antibody response after a single dose of reduced-antigen, combined diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) in pregnant Thai women.

All seronegative participants received Tdap, while seropositive participants were equally randomized into 2 groups. Half of seropositive participants received Tdap and the other half received tetanus-diphtheria (Td) as standard protocol.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of anti-pertussis toxin antibodies (anti-PT IgG) among pregnant Thai women. The secondary objectives were to evaluate antibody response after Tdap vaccination between seronegative and seropositive participants and to compare the different antibody titers at delivery among seropositive participants who received Tdap to those who received tetanus-diphtheria vaccine (Td). The sample size calculation was based on the primary objective. Randomized clinical trial was performed for the latter secondary objective.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The Seroprevalence of Anti-pertussis Toxin Antibodies (Anti-PT IgG) in Pregnant Thai Women

    Percentage of participants who were seropositive for anti-pertussis toxin antibodies (anti-PT IgG). The overall number of 129 participants is greater than the number of 42 participants include in the Particiant Flow Module because it was the sample size calculated based on the primary objective, which was the seroprevalence of anti-pertussis antibodies in pregnant Thai women. Randomized clinical trial on 42 seropositive participants was performed for one of the secondary objectives, which was to compare the different anti-PT IgG at delivery among seropositive participants who received Tdap to those who received Td.

    Time frame: Four months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Anti-pertussis Toxin Immunoglobulin G Levels Among Seropositive Participants Who Received Tdap to Those Who Received Td

    Time frame: Eight months

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 Mar 24, 2020, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
