Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Immunogenicity Study of Tdap Vaccinations for Plasma Donors (NCT NCT05662852)

NCT ID: NCT05662852

Last Updated: 2026-07-02

Results Overview

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.

Participant Flow

Subjects were recruited from the Glassboro, New Jersey area during May through November, 2024, without regard to ethnicity, race, or socioeconomic level. Standard recruiting practices such as IRB-approved flyers were used to recruit study volunteers

All participants were "Qualified Donors" who had been qualified for continued plasma donations in accordance with Donor Eligibility requirements found in 21 CFR 630.10 and 630.15, and Source Plasma regulations under 21 CRF 640, Subpart G. A total of 107 participants were consented and screened for eligibility. Seven of these participants did not meet eligibility criteria.

Population: The analysis population includes all participants with an evaluable sample at each specific timepoint. The number of participants analyzed at each visit reflects the total enrolled population (N=100) minus participants who discontinued the study early (dropouts), those with missed study visits, and participants with non-evaluable samples. Summary statistics reflect observed data only; no missing data were imputed.

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