About this study

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

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine (13vPnC) compare to the 7-valent pneumococcal vaccine (7vPnC) and to compare the immune response to concomitant vaccines administered with 13vPnC and 7vPnC.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Antibody Level ≥0.35 μg/mL in 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the 3-Dose Infant Series

    Percentages of Participants achieving World Health Organization (WHO) predefined antibody threshold ≥0.35 μg/mL along with the corresponding 95% CI for the 7 common pneumococcal serotypes (serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F) and 6 additional pneumococcal serotypes specific to 13vPnC (serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, and 19A) are presented.

    Measured: One month after the 3-dose infant series (7 months of age)

  2. Geometric Mean Antibody Concentration in 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group 1 Month After the Toddler Dose

    Antibody concentration/geometric mean concentration as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for 7 common pneumococcal serotypes (serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F) and 6 additional pneumococcal serotypes specific to 13vPnC (Serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, and 19A) are presented.

    Measured: 1 Month After the Toddler Dose

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving Predefined Antibody Levels for Haemophilus Influenzae Type b, Diphtheria Toxoid, and Pertussis Antigens in 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the Infant Series

    Measured: One month after toddler dose (13 to 16 months of age)

  2. Geometric Mean Antibody Concentration of Hib PRP in 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the Toddler Dose

    Measured: one month after the toddler dose

  3. Geometric Mean Antibody Concentration of Measles, Mumps, and Varicella ELISA in 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the Toddler Dose

    Normalization was performed for unit of measure "index value" as Index Value of 1.00 = 10 mIU/mL.

    Measured: one month after the toddler dose

  4. Geometric Mean Antibody Concentration of Rubella in 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the Toddler Dose

    Measured: one month after the toddler dose

  5. Percentage of Participants Achieving Functional Antibody Titer ≥1:8 as Measured by Opsonophagocytic Activity Assay (OPA) in 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group the 3-Dose Infant Series and the Toddler Dose

    Percentage of participants achieving functional antibody titer ≥1:8 as measured by opsonophagocytic activity assay (OPA) along with the corresponding 95% CI for the 7 common pneumococcal serotypes (serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F) and 6 additional pneumococcal serotypes specific to 13vPnC (serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, and 19A) are presented.

    Measured: One month after infant series and one month after toddler dose

  6. Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) as Measured by Opsonophagocytic Activity Assay (OPA) in 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the 3-Dose Infant Series and the Toddler Dose

    Geometric mean titer (GMT) as measured by opsonophagocytic activity assay (OPA) for 7 common pneumococcal serotypes (serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F) and 6 additional pneumococcal serotypes specific to 13vPnC (Serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, and 19A) are presented.

    Measured: one month after the infant series and the toddler dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and 7vPnc pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in people with Vaccines, Pneumococcal, run by Pfizer at 37 sites 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 21 Feb 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 37 sites 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 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 21 Feb 2013). 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 the 3-dose infant series (7 months of age)). The study lists 5 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 NCT00373958, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 21 Feb 2013.
