Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main purpose of this study is to investigate the longitudinal effects of an aP booster vaccination in adults, on long-term humoral (T0-T5)and cellular (T0-T4) memory immunity against B. pertussis. By measuring antibody levels against the various pertussis proteins (, antibody kinetics in serum (T0-T5) and saliva (T0-T4) can be determined.;Secondary Objective: See E.5.2 Secondary end points;Primary end point(s): The main purpose of this study is to investigate the longitudinal effects of an aP booster vaccination in adults, on long-term humoral (T0-T5) and cellular memory (T0-T4) immunity against B. pertussis. By measuring antibody levels against the various pertussis proteins, antibody kinetics in serum (T0-T5) and saliva (T0-T4) can be determined.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: T0: First visit (Informed consent, blood sample, saliva sample and vaccination) T1: Second visit, 14 days after T0 (blood sample and saliva sample) T2: Third visit, 28 days after T0 (blood sample and saliva sample) T3: Fourth visit, 1 year after T0 (blood sample and saliva sample) T4: Fifth visit, 2 years after T0 (blood sample and saliva sample) T5: Sixth visit, 6 years after T0 (blood sample)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • To determine pertussis specific IgG-subclasses and –avidity in serum (T0-T4); • To determine pertussis specific IgG-antibodies in saliva (T0-T4); • To measure serum specific IgG-antibodies (T0-T5), and memory B- and T-cell responses (T0-T4) against the other components (Diphtheria and Tetanus) of the booster vaccine; • To measure pertussis specific IgA antibodies in serum and saliva (T0-T4). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: T0: First visit (Informed consent, blood sample, saliva sample and vaccination) T1: Second visit, 14 days after T0 (blood sample and saliva sample) T2: Third visit, 28 days after T0 (blood sample and saliva sample) T3: Fourth visit, 1 year after T0 (blood sample and saliva sample) T4: Fifth visit, 2 years after T0 (blood sample and saliva sample) T5: Sixth visit, 6 years after T0 (blood sample)
