Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) of Antibodies in aP1, aP2, aP4 Groups Against Pertussis Antigens at Day 1.
Day 1

The antibody response against the pertussis antigen components (PT, FHA and PRN) at day 1 as measured by Multiplex ELISA and reported as Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) in aP1, aP2, aP4 Groups versus the response to the commercially available Tdap comparator. Note: The mean and confidence intervals of Licensed Tdap for the same antigen can be different (from aP to Tdap table) since two different statistical model were fitted within each antigen: one with aP and Licensed Tdap groups and one with Tdap and Licensed Tdap groups.

Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) of Antibodies in T5D2aP1, T5D2aP2 and T5D2aP4 Groups Against Pertussis Antigens at Day 1.
Day 1

The antibody response against the pertussis antigen components (PT, FHA and PRN) in serum at day 1 as measured by Multiplex ELISA and reported as Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) in T5D2aP1, T5D2aP2 and T5D2aP4 Groups versus the response to the commercially available Tdap comparator. Note: The mean and confidence intervals of Licensed Tdap for the same antigen can be different (from aP to Tdap table) since two different statistical model were fitted within each antigen: one with aP and Licensed Tdap groups and one with Tdap and Licensed Tdap groups.

Day 1

The antibody response against the pertussis antigen components (PT, FHA and PRN) in serum at day 1 as measured by Multiplex ELISA and reported as Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) in T5D4aP1, T5D4aP2 and T5D4aP4 Groups versus the response to the commercially available Tdap comparator.

Geometric Mean Ratios Antibodies Concentrations in aP1, aP2, aP4 Groups as Measured at V113_01E1 Day 1 vs. All V113_01 Time Points.
Day 1, Day 8, Day 30, Day 180, Day 365 of V113_01 and Day 1 of V113_01E1

Geometric Mean Ratios of anti-PT, anti-FHA and anti-PRN antibody were calculated to measure the changes in immunogenicity concentrations within subjects from all V113\_01 time points to V113\_01E1 day 1. Note: The mean and confidence intervals of Licensed Tdap for the same antigen can be different (from aP to Tdap table) since two different statistical model were fitted within each antigen: one with aP and Licensed Tdap groups and one with Tdap and Licensed Tdap groups.

Frequently asked questions about aP booster

What is aP booster used for?

aP booster is an investigational monoclonal antibody being developed for pertussis, also known as whooping cough. It is intended to boost immunity against the disease in adult subjects. The drug is currently in Phase 1 clinical development and is not yet approved for use.

Who makes aP booster?

aP booster is being developed by Novartis AG, a multinational pharmaceutical company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol NVS. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of this investigational product for pertussis.

What phase is aP booster in?

aP booster is in Phase 1 clinical development. It has completed one Phase 1 trial, which was an active-controlled study in adult subjects. The drug is investigational and has not received regulatory approval for any indication.

What clinical trials is aP booster in?

aP booster has been studied in one clinical trial with the identifier NCT02382913, titled 'Persistency Study After aP / Tdap Booster Vaccines in Adult Subjects (V113_01 Extension 1)'. This Phase 1 study was completed and enrolled 315 participants in Belgium.

Is aP booster a vaccine or an antibody?

aP booster is a monoclonal antibody, not a vaccine. It is being investigated as a booster to enhance immune protection against pertussis in adults. The completed Phase 1 trial was active-controlled, meaning it compared the antibody against an active comparator.
