Immunogenicity of Adacel® and BOOSTRIX® Vaccines in Adolescents
NCT01629589 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The aim of this study is to describe immunogenicity of a single booster dose of Adacel vaccine versus Boostrix vaccine among approximately 420 adolescents 11 to \<13 years of age. Primary objective: * To describe seroprotection rates against tetanus and diphtheria in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine. Observational objectives: * To describe pre- and post-vaccination tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis geometric mean antibody concentrations (GMCs) in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine. * To describe booster response rates against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis in subjects randomized to receive either Adacel or Boostrix vaccine. * To describe the rates of adverse events (AEs) immediately post-vaccination, and the rates of unsolicited AEs and serious adverse events (SAEs) following vaccination with Adacel or Boostrix vaccine from Visit 1 through Visit 2.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT01629589
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT01629589 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 4, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 423 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company, which has 43 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 4 conditions, with Diphtheria appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Tetanus Toxoid, Reduced Diphtheria Toxoid and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine Adsorbed (Adacel®) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT01629589 reports 8 study locations spanning 8 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include California, Kentucky, Massachusetts. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
