About this study

Official title: Pneumococcal Vaccine Response in COPD

Pneumococcal disease is a serious bacterial infection that can affect different parts of the body, including the lungs. People with chronic illnesses, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have a greater risk of developing pneumonia and meningitis as a result of pneumococcal disease. This study will compare the immune response to two types of pneumococcal vaccines in adults with COPD.

Read the detailed description

Individuals who are infected with the Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria may develop pneumococcal disease, a serious disease that kills more people in the United States than all other vaccine-preventable diseases combined. Individuals with COPD, characterized by breathing difficulties due to damaged and obstructed lung airways, may have an increased risk of developing serious complications from pneumococcal disease, including pneumonia and meningitis. Currently, there are two types of pneumococcal vaccines available. The pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide (CPS) vaccine, known as Pneumovax, is typically given to adults 65 years of age or older and to any individuals with a serious health condition, including heart disease, lung disease, and diabetes. The diphtheria protein-conjugated vaccine (PCV7), known as Prevnar, is typically given to infants; however, adults who receive this vaccine may also have a favorable response. The purpose of this study is to compare the immune response to the Pneumovax and Prevnar vaccines in adults with COPD.

This study will enroll adults with mild to moderate COPD. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the Pneumovax or Prevnar vaccine. This will involve one or two injections. Blood collection will occur during study visits at Months 1, 12, and 24. Study researchers will contact participants by telephone at Months 6 and 18 to document any pneumococcal infections and any additional pneumococcal vaccinations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pneumovax (PPSV23) and Prevnar (PCV7) in people with Pulmonary Disease, Chronic Obstructive, run by University of Minnesota at 18 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 6 inclusion and 7 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 12 May 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 18 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 12 May 2015). 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 Opsonization Titers (time frame: Measured at Baseline, Months 1, 12, and 24). 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 NCT00457977, 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 12 May 2015.
