Seroprevalence of Bordetella Pertussis Antibodies and Anti-pertussis Antibody Response After a Single Dose of Tdap in Pregnant Thai Women

Mahidol University129 enrolled

Overview

This study evaluated the seroprevalence of Bordetella pertussis antibodies and anti-pertussis antibody response after a single dose of reduced-antigen, combined diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) in pregnant Thai women. All seronegative participants received Tdap, while seropositive participants were equally randomized into 2 groups. Half of seropositive participants received Tdap and the other half received tetanus-diphtheria (Td) as standard protocol.

The primary objective of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of anti-pertussis toxin antibodies (anti-PT IgG) among pregnant Thai women. The secondary objectives were to evaluate antibody response after Tdap vaccination between seronegative and seropositive participants and to compare the different antibody titers at delivery among seropositive participants who received Tdap to those who received tetanus-diphtheria vaccine (Td). The sample size calculation was based on the primary objective. Randomized clinical trial was performed for the latter secondary objective.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The Seroprevalence of Anti-pertussis Toxin Antibodies (Anti-PT IgG) in Pregnant Thai Women

Percentage of participants who were seropositive for anti-pertussis toxin antibodies (anti-PT IgG). The overall number of 129 participants is greater than the number of 42 participants include in the Particiant Flow Module because it was the sample size calculated based on the primary objective, which was the seroprevalence of anti-pertussis antibodies in pregnant Thai women. Randomized clinical trial on 42 seropositive participants was performed for one of the secondary objectives, which was to compare the different anti-PT IgG at delivery among seropositive participants who received Tdap to those who received Td.

Time frame: Four months

Secondary Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Anti-pertussis Toxin Immunoglobulin G Levels Among Seropositive Participants Who Received Tdap to Those Who Received Td

Time frame: Eight months
