Safety and Immunogenicity Study of Tdap Vaccinations for Plasma Donors

ABO Holdings, Inc.100 enrolled

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety and tetanus antibody response to a Tdap vaccine in healthy plasma donors. The main question it aims to answer are: * Is it safe to give this vaccine multiple times over one year to plasma donors since the package insert for this vaccine indicates that it should administered once every 10 years? * What is the tetanus antibody response over time in these donors after receiving the vaccine multiple times during the study? Participants will receive a Tdap vaccination every 3 months ±2 weeks for 12 months (5 vaccinations) with a 6 month follow-up after the last vaccination. After obtaining informed consent and screening for eligibility including plasmapheresis donor eligibility, subjects will have other baseline assessments performed and if eligible, will receive the scheduled vaccinations, will be assessed for adverse events (AEs) and have plasma samples collected for antibody titers each month thereafter for 11 months, and then at 1 and 6 months after the last vaccination. As these subjects are participating in a standard donor plasmapheresis donor program, assessments for donor eligibility and routine plasmapheresis will be performed; however, only the data specifically required to meet the objectives of this study will be collected.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. TEAEs are defined as an adverse event occurring after first study treatment. A serious TEAE was defined as an AE that resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; life-threatening; inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization; persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions, an important medical event that based on appropriate medical judgment may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the aforementioned outcomes.

Time frame: Up to 18 months

Secondary Outcomes

Anti-tetanus Antibody Titers in Participants Over Time

Anti-tetanus antibody titer levels after each vaccination presented at geometric means (GeoMean) over time.

Time frame: Baseline, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5, Month 6, Month 7, Month 8, Month 9, Month 10, Month 11, Month 12, Month 13, Month 18

Number of Participants With Post Vaccination Anti-tetanus Antibody Range Levels

The numbers and percentages of participants whose post vaccination antibody levels were \<5 IU/mL; ≥5 IU/mL to 10 IU/mL; \>10 IU/mL to 15 IU/mL; and, \>15 IU/mL after each vaccination.
