What is being measured

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

  1. Pneumococcal Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for the 13 Serotypes 1 Month After Vaccination for Overall Population

    Serotype-specific antibody-mediated opsonophagocytic activity (functional antibodies) for the 13 pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) as measured by a quantitative opsonophagocytic activity assay (OPA). OPA titers will be logarithmically transformed for analysis; geometric means calculated and expressed as geometric mean titers (GMTs). The 2-sided, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) on the GMTs were constructed by back transformation of the CIs for the mean of the logarithmically transformed assay results computed using the Student t distribution.

    Measured: 1 month after vaccination

  2. Pneumococcal Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for the 13 Serotypes 1 Month After Vaccination for Age Groups 50 to 64 Years and ≥65 Years

    Serotype-specific antibody-mediated opsonophagocytic activity (functional antibodies) for the 13 pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) as measured by a quantitative opsonophagocytic activity assay (OPA). OPA titers will be logarithmically transformed for analysis; geometric means calculated and expressed as geometric mean titers (GMTs). The 2-sided, 95% CIs on the GMTs were constructed by back transformation of the CIs for the mean of the logarithmically transformed assay results computed using the Student t distribution.

CI for the GMFRs are back transformations of a CI based on the Student t distribution for the logarithmically transformed assay results.

    Measured: Prevaccination (Day 1), 1 month after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 13vPnC in people with Healthy, run by Pfizer at 2 sites in Japan.

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

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Japan. 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 11 Nov 2011). 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?

Pneumococcal Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for the 13 Serotypes 1 Month After Vaccination for Overall Population (time frame: 1 month after vaccination). The study lists 4 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 NCT00562354, 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 11 Nov 2011.
