Study of Reduced Dose of Menomune® in Children Who Previously Received Meningococcal Diphtheria Toxoid Conjugate Vaccine
Completed · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Meningitis, Meningococcemia, Neisseria Meningitidis
In brief
This study was designed to simulate meningococcal challenge by vaccination with a fractional combined dose of unconjugated meningococcal polysaccharides A, C, Y, and W-135, Menomune® in children who were vaccinated with one dose of TetraMenD at least 18 months earlier. Primary Objective: To evaluate and compare the antibody responses to a reduced dose of Menomune® in participants who had previously received a tetravalent meningococcal diphtheria toxoid conjugate vaccine to those responses in participants who received the same reduced dose of Menomune® but had not previously received any meningococcal vaccine.

You may not qualify if…
- Serious chronic disease (i.e., cardiac, renal, neurologic, metabolic, rheumatologic, psychiatric etc.)
- Known or suspected impairment of immunologic function
- Acute medical illness with or without fever within the last 72 hours or an axillary temperature (≥ 99.5ºF [≥ 37.5ºC]) at the time of inclusion
- For Stage I, history of documented invasive meningococcal disease or previous meningococcal vaccination with exception of those participants recruited from Trial 603-02.
- For Stage II, history of documented invasive meningococcal disease or participant did not receive Reduced-dose Menomune® six months prior.
- Administration of immune globulin, other blood products within the last three months, injected or oral corticosteroids or other immunomodulatory therapy within six weeks of the study vaccine. Individuals on a tapering dose schedule of oral steroids lasting < 7 days may be included in the trial as long as they have not received more than one course within the last two weeks prior to enrollment.
- Antibiotic therapy within the 72 hours prior to vaccination or antibiotic therapy within the 72 hours prior to having any blood sample drawn
- Received any vaccine in the 28-day period prior to study vaccination, or scheduled to receive any vaccination during the 28-day period after study vaccination in Stage 1 of the trial.
- Suspected or known hypersensitivity to any of the vaccine components
- Unavailable for the entire study period or unable to attend the scheduled visits or to comply with the study procedures
- Enrolled in another clinical trial
- Any condition, which, in the opinion of the investigator, would pose a health risk to the participant or interfere with the evaluation of the vaccine.
