Trial Outcomes & Findings for Tdap Vaccine in Post-Partum Women (NCT NCT01711645)

NCT ID: NCT01711645

Last Updated: 2017-05-05

Results Overview

Blood was collected from participants at baseline prior to vaccination and at 2 weeks after vaccination for assessment of IgG by ELISA against the pertussis toxin (PT), filamentous hemaggluttinin (FHA), pertactin (PRN) and fimbrae (FIM) antigens. Antibody concentrations were reported as ELISA units per milliliter (EU/mL). The geometric mean of participants' fold rise in antibody concentrations from baseline to post vaccination was calculated, along with the 95% confidence interval (CI).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Prior to and 2 weeks following vaccination

Population: All participants with specimens collected and data reported for baseline and the post-vaccination timepoint were included in the analysis population.

Blood was collected from participants at baseline prior to vaccination and at 2 weeks after vaccination for assessment of IgG by ELISA against the pertussis toxin (PT), filamentous hemaggluttinin (FHA), pertactin (PRN) and fimbrae (FIM) antigens. Antibody concentrations were reported as ELISA units per milliliter (EU/mL). The geometric mean of participants' fold rise in antibody concentrations from baseline to post vaccination was calculated, along with the 95% confidence interval (CI).

The assessment of the kinetics of the ELISA IgG antibody rise in serum was defined by the protocol as the geometric mean fold rise at each timepoint (reported separately above). No additional analysis was pre-defined or performed for this outcome measure.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (prior to vaccination)

Population: All participants providing a breast milk (colostrum) sample at the timepoint are included in the analysis population.

Breast milk (colostrum) was collected from participants at baseline prior to vaccination for assessment of secretory IgA (sIgA) to the PT antigen by ELISA. Available data at the timepoint were summarized by geometric mean of the concentration as reported in EU/mL along with the 95% confidence interval. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of the assay was 10. Results of \<10 were reported as half the LLOQ (5).

Timeframe: 2 weeks post vaccination

Population: All participants providing a breast milk sample at the timepoint are included in the analysis population.

Breast milk was collected from participants at 2 weeks after vaccination for assessment of secretory IgA (sIgA) to PT and FHA by ELISA. Available data at the timepoint were summarized by geometric mean of the concentration as reported in EU/mL. Note that for the PT at this timepoint, all participants had a value of 5, the imputed value for below the LLOQ of the assay (\<10), and so the 95% CI is not reported, as there was no measurable variability in the data. The range is reported.

Population: The laboratory staff was not successful in attempts to conduct the ELISA assay against the pertactin and fimbrae antigens with the breast milk samples.

Breast milk (colostrum) was collected from participants at baseline prior to vaccination for assessment of secretory IgA (sIgA) to the PRN and FIM antigen by ELISA. Available data at the timepoint were to be summarized by geometric mean of the concentration as reported in EU/mL along with the 95% confidence interval. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of the assay was 10 EU/mL.

Timeframe: Prior to vaccination, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, and 6 months after vaccination

Population: Only 4 participants were able to provide a breast milk (colostrum) sample at baseline and post vaccination samples had no detectable titer, resulting in a fold-rise analysis being uninterpretable; therefore, this analysis was not conducted.

Breast milk samples were collected from participants for evaluation of PT and FHA secretory IgA (sIgA) by ELISA. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) for the assay was 10 EU/mL. A 4-fold rise in concentration from prior to vaccination was defined as a post-vaccination sIgA concentration greater than or equal to 40 EU/mL for participants with baseline sIgA concentrations less than the LLOQ, or 4 times the baseline sIgA concentration for baseline sIgA concentrations greater than the LLOQ.
