Study summary

This is a phase II, randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and effect on infant immune responses of a single dose of Tetanus diphtheria acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) in pregnant women in Mali. 200 healthy pregnant women, ages 18 through 39 years, inclusive, who meet all eligibility criteria will be randomly allocated in a 2:1 ratio to receive either Tdap (BOOSTRIX) or Tetanus diphtheria toxoid (Td) at 14 0/7 weeks through 26 6/7 weeks estimated Gestational Age (GA). For the fetuses of pregnant subjects, GA will be established by ultrasound, whenever possible, in combination with date of last menstrual period (LMP), when available, and fundal height. Study duration is 21 months: approximately 2 months in the start-up period, 6 months enrolling subjects, and 13 months (3-7 months while pregnant and 6 months postpartum) from last subject vaccinated until she and her infant complete follow-up. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) to assess the safety and tolerability of a single 0.5 mL intramuscular injection of BOOSTRIX in pregnant women; 2) to assess the safety of a single maternal BOOSTRIX vaccination on the fetus and infant; 3) to assess the level of Pertussis Toxin (PT) antibody at birth among infants whose mothers received a single dose of BOOSTRIX or Td while pregnant.

Study duration is 21 months: approximately 2 months in the start-up period, 6 months enrolling subjects, and 13 months (3-7 months while pregnant and 6 months postpartum) from last subject vaccinated until she and her infant complete follow-up. The primary objectives of this study are: 1) to assess the safety and tolerability of a single 0.5 mL intramuscular injection of BOOSTRIX in pregnant women; 2) to assess the safety of a single maternal BOOSTRIX vaccination on the fetus and infant; 3) to assess the level of Pertussis Toxin (PT) antibody at birth among infants whose mothers received a single dose of BOOSTRIX or Td while pregnant. The secondary objectives are: 1) to assess the antibody response to BOOSTRIX vaccine antigens in pregnant women one month after receipt of BOOSTRIX, at the time of delivery, and at 6 months after delivery; 2) to compare the antibody levels of BOOSTRIX vaccine antigens at birth (cord blood) and 6 weeks of age (before receiving any infant doses of Diphtheria, Tetanus, and whole-cell Pertussis (DTwP)) in infants whose mothers received BOOSTRIX or Td during pregnancy; 3) to assess placental antibody transfer by determining the ratio of maternal and infant BOOSTRIX -specific antibody responses at delivery; 4) to assess interference with infant antibody responses to DTwP either prior to the second dose of the primary DTwP series, at approximately 10 weeks of age (in 1/2 of subjects), or approximately one month after the third dose of the primary DTwP series, at approximately 18 weeks of age (in 1/2 of subjects), and at 6 months of age (all subjects).

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Healthy pregnant woman 18-39 years of age, inclusive.
  2. Singleton fetus, with estimated gestational age of 14 0/7 through 26 6/7 weeks gestation, inclusive, on the day of study vaccination.
  3. Provide written consent after the nature of the study has been explained according to local regulatory requirements and prior to any study procedures*.

    *Prior to obtaining individual for each subject, the investigators will obtain community consent by discussing the trial with all the appropriate local groups, as necessary, to obtain permission to approach the subjects. Written, informed consent for participation in the trial will be obtained by the investigators from all individual subjects. The consent forms will be written in French, the official language of Mali, and will be translated into Bambara, the most prevalent of the local languages, and recorded on audiotape.

  4. In good health as determined by medical history, targeted physical examination* (physical examination performed as part of routine antenatal care of a study-specific brief exam may be used to determine eligibility), vital signs (oral temperature \< 37.8 degrees Celsius; pulse 55 to 100 beats per minute (bpm), inclusive; systolic blood pressure 90 to 140 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), inclusive; diastolic blood pressure 55 to 90 mm Hg, inclusive), and clinical judgment of the investigator.

    *If indicated based on medical history, to evaluate acute or currently ongoing chronic medical diagnoses or conditions that would affect the assessment of eligibility and safety of subjects. Chronic medical diagnoses or conditions being actively managed must be within acceptable limits in the last 180 days. Any prescription change that is due to change of health care provider, insurance company, etc., or that is done for financial reasons, as long as in the same class of medication, will not be considered a deviation of this inclusion criterion. Any change in prescription medication due to improvement of a disease outcome, as determined by the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, will not be considered a deviation of this inclusion criterion. Subjects may be on chronic or as needed (prn) medications if, in the opinion of the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, they pose no additional risk to subject safety or assessment of reactogenicity and immunogenicity and do not indicate a worsening of medical diagnosis or condition. Similarly, medication changes subsequent to enrollment and the study vaccination are acceptable provided the subject is asymptomatic, condition stable, and there is no additional risk to the subject or interference with the evaluation of responses to the study vaccination.

  5. Ability to comprehend and comply with all study procedures, as determined by the investigator determining eligibility, and availability for follow-up.
  6. Willing to allow study staff to gather pertinent medical information, including pregnancy outcome data and medical information about her infant.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of illness or an ongoing illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, may pose additional risk to the subject or her fetus if she participates in the study.
  2. Infection requiring systemic antibiotics or antiviral treatment within the 7 days prior to study vaccination.
  3. Fever (oral temperature > / = 37.8 degrees Celsius/100.0 degrees Fahrenheit) or other acute illness within 3 days prior to study vaccination*.

    *An acute illness which is nearly resolved with only minor residual symptoms remaining is allowable if, in the opinion of the site principal investigator or appropriate sub-investigator, the residual symptoms will not interfere with the ability to assess safety parameters as required by the protocol.

  4. Known active neoplastic disease (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer), anticancer chemotherapy, or radiation therapy (cytotoxic) within 3 years prior to study vaccination.
  5. History of any hematologic at any time.
  6. A history of a serious adverse event following previous immunizations (e.g., Bell's Palsy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome, encephalopathy), or history of progressive neurologic disorders.
  7. Known or suspected disease that impairs the immune system including known or suspected infection or HIV-related disease.
  8. Receipt of therapy, including long-term use of : oral, inhaled, intranasal or parenteral prednisone > / = 20 mg/day or equivalent for more than 2 weeks within the 30 days prior to enrollment. Use of topical corticosteroids is allowed.
  9. Known or infection, by history or medical record.
  10. Behavioral or cognitive impairment or psychiatric disease (includes hospitalization for psychiatric illness, suicide attempt, or confinement for danger to self or others within 10 years prior to study vaccination) that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the subject's ability to participate in the trial.
  11. Have a history of alcohol or drug abuse within 5 years prior to study vaccination (that is believed by the site investigator to potentially interfere with the subject's ability to participate in the study).
  12. Known or allergy to any component of the study vaccine (formaldehyde, alum).
  13. History of severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose of BOOSTRIX or any other vaccine directed against tetanus, diphtheria, or pertussis.

  15. Receipt of immunoglobulin (except RhoGAM, which is allowed) or other blood products within 90 days prior to study vaccination.
  16. Receipt of an experimental agent or device within 30 days prior to vaccination, or the expected receipt of an experimental agent* (other than BOOSTRIX) during this trial-reporting period.

    *Experimental agents include vaccines, drugs, biologics, devices, blood products, and medications. Subjects who have received a licensed product, as a subject in a clinical trial, within 30 days prior to vaccination or who are expecting to enroll in such a trial during the study period will also be excluded. Observational studies, surveys, and other studies that do not involve experimental agents or devices are allowed.

  17. High risk for serious obstetrical complication (refer to ACOG Practice Bulletins for definitions, as necessary)*.

    *Including the following: (a) gestational hypertension (well controlled history of essential or gestational hypertension, as evidenced by normal BPs as defined above, is allowed), (b) gestational diabetes not controlled by diet and exercise (the use of insulin or glyburide to control gDM, at the time of enrollment, is exclusionary), (c) current pre-eclampsia or eclampsia, (d) known current multiple gestation, (e)history of preterm delivery before EGA 35 weeks 0 days or current preterm labor, and/or (f) known intrauterine fetal growth restriction (defined as ultrasound confirmation of an estimated fetal weight that is less than the 10th percentile for gestational age).

  18. Pregnant with a fetus with a known or suspected major congenital anomaly or genetic abnormality.
  19. Study personnel or immediate family members (brother, sister, child, parent) or the spouse of study personnel.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

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.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

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.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

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 May 21, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
