About this study

Official title: A Phase 3, Randomized, Active-Controlled, Double-Blind Trial Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of a 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Infants Given With Routine Pediatric Vaccinations in Canada

The purpose of this study will be to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in healthy infants given with routine pediatric vaccinations in Canada. Immune responses induced by the infant series (NeisVac-C® and Pentacel®)and toddler dose(NeisVac-C®)of routine pediatric vaccines when administered with 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine will be studied for noninferiority to the immune responses when administered with 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. Safety profile and immunogenicity of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine will also be evaluated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Subjects Achieving Predefined Antibody Level ≥1:8 for Meningococcal C Serum Bactericidal Assay (SBA) in the 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After 2 Doses of NeisVac-C® in the Infant Series

    Percentage of subjects achieving predefined antibody threshold ≥1:8 along with the corresponding 95 percent (%) confidence interval (CI) for concomitant antigen meningococcal C SBA are presented. Non-inferiority was declared if the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI for the difference between the 2 treatment groups > -10%.

    Measured: 1 month after 2 doses of NeisVac-C® in the infant series (7 months of age)

  2. Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Meningococcal C Antigen in the 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After 2 Doses of NeisVac-C® in the Infant Series

    Antibody geometric mean titer of meningococcal C antigen are presented. GMT and corresponding 2-sided 95% CI were constructed by back transformation of the CI for the mean of the logarithmically transformed assay results computed using the Student t distribution. In addition, the 2-sided 95% confidence interval on the ratio of the geometric means for 13vPnC relative to 7vPnC was constructed by back transformation of the Student t distribution for the mean difference of the measures on the logarithmic scale.

    Measured: 1 month after 2 doses of NeisVac-C® in the infant series (7 months of age)

  3. Percentage of Subjects Achieving Predefined Antibody Level to Pertussis Antigens in the 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the 3-dose Infant Series

    Percentage of subjects achieving predefined antibody threshold ≥5 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) units per mL (EU/mL) along with the corresponding 95 % CI for concomitant antigens pertussis (pertussis toxoid [PT], filamentous hemagglutinin [FHA], and pertactin [PRN]) and ≥ 2.2 EU/mL fimbrial agglutinogens (FIM) are presented. Non-inferiority was declared if the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI for the difference between the 2 treatment groups > -10%.

    Measured: 1 month after the 3-dose infant series (7 months of age)

  4. Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of Pertussis Antigens in the 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the 3-dose Infant Series

    Antibody geometric mean concentration of pertussis antigens (PT, FHA, PRN, and FIM) as measured by EU/mL are presented. GMC and corresponding 2-sided 95% CI were constructed by back transformation of the CI for the mean of the logarithmically transformed assay results computed using the Student t distribution. In addition, the 2-sided 95% confidence intervals on the ratio of the GMCs for 13vPnC relative to 7vPnC were constructed by back transformation of the Student t distribution for the mean difference of the measures on the logarithmic scale.

    Measured: 1 month after the 3-dose Infant Series (7 months of age)

  5. Percentage of Subjects Achieving Predefined Antibody Level ≥0.15 Micrograms Per mL (μg/mL) for Polyribosylribitol Phosphate (PRP) in Hib in the 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the 3-dose Infant Series

    Percentage of subjects achieving predefined antibody threshold ≥0.15 μg/mL along with the corresponding 95 percent (%) confidence interval (CI) for concomitant antigen PRP in Hib are presented. Non-inferiority was declared if the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI for the difference between the 2 treatment groups > -10%.

    Measured: 1 month after the 3-dose infant series (7 months of age)

  6. Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of PRP in Hib in the 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the 3-dose Infant Series

    Antibody geometric mean concentration of PRP in Hib as measured by µg/mL are presented. GMC and corresponding 2-sided 95% CI were constructed by back transformation of the CI for the mean of the logarithmically transformed assay results computed using the Student t distribution. In addition, the 2-sided 95% confidence interval on the ratio of the GMCs for 13vPnC relative to 7vPnC was constructed by back transformation of the Student t distribution for the mean difference of the measures on the logarithmic scale.

    Measured: 1 month after the 3-dose infant series (7 months of age)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of Subjects Achieving Predefined Antibody Level ≥1:8 for Meningococcal C SBA in the 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the Toddler Dose of NeisVac-C®

    Percentage of subjects achieving predefined antibody threshold ≥1:8 along with the corresponding 95% CI for concomitant antigen meningococcal C SBA are presented. Non-inferiority was declared if the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI for the difference between the 2 treatment groups > -10%.

    Measured: 1 month after the toddler dose of NeisVac-C® (13 months of age)

  2. Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Meningococcal C Antigen in the 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the Toddler Dose

    Antibody geometric mean titer of meningococcal C antigen are presented. GMT and corresponding 2-sided 95% CI were constructed by back transformation of the CI for the mean of the logarithmically transformed assay results computed using the Student t distribution. In addition, the 2-sided 95% confidence interval on the ratio of the GMs for 13vPnC relative to 7vPnC was constructed by back transformation of the Student t distribution for the mean difference of the measures on the logarithmic scale.

    Measured: 1 month after the toddler dose (13 months of age)

  3. Percentage of Subjects Achieving Predefined Antibody Level ≥1.0 μg/mL for PRP in Hib in the 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After the 3-dose Infant Series

    Percentage of subjects achieving predefined antibody threshold ≥1.0 μg/mL along with the corresponding 95% CI for concomitant antigen PRP in Hib are presented. Non-inferiority was declared if the lower limit of the 2-sided 95% CI for the difference between the 2 treatment groups > -10%.

    Measured: 1 month after the 3-dose infant series (7 months of age)

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 Conjugate Vaccine, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 11 sites in Canada.

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 4 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 Apr 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 11 sites in Canada. 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 4 Jun 2010). 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 Subjects Achieving Predefined Antibody Level ≥1:8 for Meningococcal C Serum Bactericidal Assay (SBA) in the 13vPnC Group Relative to 7vPnC Group After 2 Doses of NeisVac-C® in the Infant Series (time frame: 1 month after 2 doses of NeisVac-C® in the infant series (7 months of age)). The study lists 6 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 21 Apr 2011.
