Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to learn whether or not giving a tetanus/diphtheria vaccination ("tetanus shot") before giving pneumococcal vaccine makes the pneumococcal vaccine more effective without causing too many side effects. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (Prevnar; Wyeth) With Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (23-valent) and Tetanus/Diphtheria Vaccine

The purpose of this study is to learn whether or not giving a tetanus/diphtheria vaccination ("tetanus shot") before giving pneumococcal vaccine makes the pneumococcal vaccine more effective without causing too many side effects.

Read the detailed description

The only vaccine licensed in the United States for protecting adults against pneumococcal disease (PPV23) protects against invasive disease in observational studies but has generally been poorly effective against pneumonia or all-cause mortality in randomized clinical trials. Another vaccine containing seven polysaccharide antigens conjugated to diphtheria toxoid (PCV7) is licensed for children and under investigation in adults.

In this pilot study, we are comparing the safety and immunogenicity of three immunization schedules in adults:

  • Td vaccine, 2-week interval, PCV7, 4-month interval, PPV23
  • PCV7, 4-month interval, PPV23
  • PPV23

We aim to:

  • compare the safety profiles of pneumococcal vaccines given on each of the three schedules
  • compare serotype-specific ELISA antibody response to pneumococcal antigens given on each of the three schedules
  • compare functional serotype-specific antibody responses to pneumococcal antigens given on each of the three schedules
  • study the influence of diphtheria antibody levels at the time of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine administration on the magnitude of the immune response to pneumococcal antigens

  • 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccineBiological

  • 23-valent polysaccharide vaccineBiological

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. ELISA for S. pneumoniae antibody 2 months after receiving PPV23

  2. Functional S. pneumoniae antibody 2 months after receiving PPV23

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of adverse events following vaccination from entry to 2 months after receiving last vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Tetanus-diphtheria toxoids (Td), 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine in people with Pneumococcal Infections, run by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 0 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ELISA for S. pneumoniae antibody 2 months after receiving PPV23. The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Mar 2012.
