NCT02482636

Brief Summary

This multicentre, parallel group, block randomised clinical trial aims to investigate the post booster antibody response in UK infants given a reduced priming schedule of meningococcal serogroup B vaccine and 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. It will provide information about how best to include the meningococcal B vaccine (likely to be introduced late 2015) into the routine immunisation schedule. The UK Department of Health provides a routine vaccination schedule for children in the UK and are advised by the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI). The Department of Health have announced that the meningococcal B vaccine (Bexsero) be introduced to the routine schedule as a 2+1 schedule. Cost effectiveness could also be improved by removing the current MenC conjugate vaccine dose given at 3 months of age. There is no published immunogenicity data for Bexsero when given at 2, 4 and 12 months of age (2+1 schedule) and with concomitant Infanrix/IPV/Hib which has now replaced Pediacel in the infant programme. This change to the schedule would result in three injections at 2, 4 and 12 months, and given previous reluctance among parents for three injections at one visit, an option to reduce PCV13 to a 1+1 schedule (priming dose at 3 months and booster at 12 months) will be assessed in this study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Pneumococcal serotype specific geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) in blood samples following the completion of either a 2, 4 and 12 month schedule of PCV13 vaccination, or only 3 and 12 month PCV13 vaccination

    pneumococcal IgG concentration for the 13 serotypes contained in the vaccine

    Blood samples collected at 13 months of age

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • 13 serotype-specific pneumococcal IgG GMCs and functional pneumococcal antibodies and proportions greater than or equal to ≥0.35µg/mL for each serotype in blood samples taken at 5 and 13 months

    blood samples taken at 5 and 13 months

  • Titres and proportions of participants achieving antibody responses to MenB vaccination human Serum Bactericidal Antibody (SBA) titres ≥4 for the three main vaccine antigen target MenB strains, 5/99 (NadA), NZ98/254 (PorA) and 44/76-SL (fHbp)

    Blood samples taken at 5 months

  • Meningococcal serogroup C human SBA geometric mean titres (GMTs) and proportion of infants ≥4 (5 month blood only); rabbit SBA titres (GMT) and proportion of infants with titres 8 and 128 (13 month blood only)

    blood samples taken at 5 months and 13 months

  • Meningococcal serogroup W hSBA GMTs and proportion of infants with titre ≥4 at 5 and 13 months of age

    blood samples taken at 5 and 13 months

  • GMC of anti-PRP IgG [Hib antigen] and proportion of infants with concentrations of > 0.15µg/mL and 1.0µg/mL in the blood samples taken at 5 and 13 months of age

    Blood samples taken at 5 and 13 months of age

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age8 Weeks - 12 Weeks
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Infants due to receive their primary immunisations , aged up to 13 weeks on first vaccinations.
  • Written informed consent given by mother who is aged \>= 16 years \[NB mother is preferable as consent also allows permission to record the date of pertussis immunisation in pregnancy, which may need to be verified in her medical record. Where mother is not available, consent may be taken from father or legal guardian and maternal pertussis status noted as not known\]

You may not qualify if:

  • Bleeding disorder
  • Fulfil any of the contraindications to vaccination as specified in The Green Book \[https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/public-health-england/series/immunisation-against-infectious-disease-the-green-book\]:
  • At risk of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) as defined in the Green Book pneumococcal chapter and those born prior to 37 weeks gestation
  • Confirmed anaphylactic reaction to a previous dose of the vaccine, or
  • Confirmed anaphylactic reaction to any constituent or excipient of the vaccine(s).
  • A confirmed anaphylactic reaction to neomycin, streptomycin or polymyxin B (which may be present in trace amounts in the tetanus vaccine) and/or kanamycin, histidine, sodium chloride or sucrose (which may be present in trace amounts in the MenB vaccine).
  • Latex hypersensitivity (the syringe cap of Bexsero may contain natural rubber latex)
