About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Active-controlled, Modified Double-blind Trial Evaluating The Safety, Tolerability, And Immunogenicity Of A 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (13vpnc) Compared To A 23-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (23vps) In Adults 60 To 64 Years Old Who Are Naive To 23vps And The Safety, Tolerability, And Immunogenicity Of 13vpnc In Adults 18-59 Years Old Who Are Naïve To 23vps

This study will assess the safety, tolerability and immune response of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnC) compared with 23-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (23vPS). Although the study started with only 1 population, amendments to the original protocol will now reflect three participant populations. Three age cohorts will be enrolled. The first cohort (age 60-64) will be blinded. Cohort 2 (age 50-59) and cohort 3 (age 18-49) are open label. Subjects in cohorts 1 and 2 will receive 2 vaccinations 3-4 years apart. Subjects in cohort 3 will receive 1 vaccination. All participants should be naïve of 23vPS. Comparisons of immune responses from the different cohorts will be done.

What is being measured

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

  1. Serotype-specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) 1 Month After Vaccination 1

    Serotype-specific OPA GMTs for the 13 pneumococcal common serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) were determined in the blood samples of all the participants using microcolony OPA (mcOPA) assay. CIs for GMT are back transformations of a CI based on the Student t distribution for the mean logarithm of the titers.

    Measured: One month after vaccination 1

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving At Least a 4-fold Rise in OPA Titer for Serotype 6A 1 Month After Vaccination 1 in Cohort 1

    For serotype 6A the percentage of participants achieving at least a 4-fold rise on the serotype-specific antibody titer from pre-vaccination to 1 month post-vaccination was computed along with exact, 2-sided 95% confidence interval for the proportion.

    Measured: One month after vaccination 1

  3. Serotype-specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) 1 Month After Vaccination for 12 Common Serotypes in 13vPnC/23vPS Group Relative to 23vPS Group and 23vPS/23vPS Group

    Serotype-specific OPA GMTs for the 12 pneumococcal common serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) were determined in the blood samples of all the participants using mcOPA assay. CIs for GMT are back transformations of a CI based on the Student t distribution for the mean logarithm of the titers.

    Measured: One month after vaccination 1 and One month after vaccination 2/Year 3 to 4

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving OPA Titers With at Least Lower Limit of Quantification (LLOQ) 1 Month After Vaccination 1

    Percentage of participants achieving OPA GMTs with at least LLOQ for 13 pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F and 23F) determined in blood samples of all participants using mcOPA assay. Exact 2-sided CI based on observed proportion of participants. LLOQ for each serotype: 1=1:18, 3=1:12, 4=1:21, 5=1:29, 6A=1:37, 6B=1:43, 7F=1:210, 9V=1:345, 14=1:35, 18C=1:31, 19A=1:18, 19F=1:48, 23F=1:13.

    Measured: One month after vaccination 1

  2. Pneumococcal Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Fold Rises (GMFRs) for the 13 Serotypes From Prevaccination 1 to 1 Month After Vaccination 2 in Cohort 1 and Cohort 2

    Geometric mean fold rises (GMFRs) for the 13 serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) from prevaccination to 1 month postvaccination were computed using the logarithmically transformed assay results. CI for the GMFRs are back transformations of a CI based on the Student t distribution for the logarithmically transformed assay results.

    Measured: Prevaccination 1 to 1 month after vaccination 2/Year 3 to 4

  3. Serotype-specific Pneumococcal Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) for 12 Common Serotypes in 13vPnC/23vPS Group Relative to 23vPS and 23vPS/23vPS Groups in Cohort 1; and in 13vPnC/13vPnC Group in Cohort 2, 1 Month After Vaccination

    Antibody geometric mean concentration (GMC) as measured by microgram/milliliter (mcg/mL) for 12 common pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) are presented. GMC and corresponding 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CI) were evaluated. Geometric means (GMs) were calculated using all participants with available data for the specified blood draw.

    Measured: One month after vaccination 1 and One month after vaccination 2/Year 3 to 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnC) and 23-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (23vPS) in people with Pneumococcal Infections, run by Pfizer at 26 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 3 inclusion and 3 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 15 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 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 5 Sep 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?

Serotype-specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) 1 Month After Vaccination 1 (time frame: One month after vaccination 1). The study lists 3 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 15 Nov 2021.
