About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Active-Controlled, Double-blind Trial of the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunologic Non-Inferiority of a 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Compared to a 7-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Infants Given With Routine Pediatric Vaccinations in Germany.

  10. Percentage of Participants Reporting Pre-Specified Local Reactions

    Local reactions were reported using an electronic diary. Tenderness was scaled as Any (tenderness present); Significant (Sig) (present and interfered with limb movement). Induration and erythema were scaled as Any (induration or erythema present); Mild (0.5 centimeters [cm] to 2.0 cm); Moderate (Mod)(2.5 to 7.0 cm); Severe (> 7.0 cm). Participants may be represented in more than 1 category.

    Measured: Day 1 through 4 after each dose

  11. Percentage of Participants Reporting Pre-Specified Systemic Events (Infant Series)

    Systemic events (any fever ≥ 38 degrees Celsius [C], decreased appetite, irritability, increased sleep, decreased sleep, and hives [urticaria]) were reported using an electronic diary. Participants may be represented in more than 1 category.

    Measured: Day 1 through 4 after each dose

  12. Percentage of Participants Reporting Pre-Specified Systemic Events (Toddler Series)

    Systemic events (any fever ≥ 38 degrees Celsius [C], decreased appetite, irritability, increased sleep, decreased sleep, and hives [urticaria]) were reported using an electronic diary. Participants may be represented in more than 1 category.

    Measured: Day 1 through 4 after each dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in people with Vaccines, Pneumococcal, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 51 sites in Germany.

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 4 inclusion and 12 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 8 Aug 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 51 sites in Germany. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Aug 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Percentage of Participants Achieving Antibody Level ≥0.35 μg/mL in 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the 3-Dose Infant Series (time frame: One month after 3-dose infant series (5 months of age)). The study lists 12 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00366340, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Aug 2012.
