About this study

Official title: Prevalence of Nasopharyngeal Carriage of Streptococcus Pneumoniae in Healthy Children Aged 12-18 Months in Six Cities of China

This study is to observe the carriage rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S.p.), Haemophilus influenzae Type B (Hib) and Moraxella catarrhalis (M.Cat.) in healthy Chinese children aged 12-18 months in order to estimate the prevalence of pathogens that commonly cause infection in Chinese young children. The antibiotic resistance of all isolates and the serotypes distribution of S.p. isolates will also be tested. Potential risk factors for nasopharyngeal carriage will be collected.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Per-protocol populationIn all, 3641 participants were enrolled; however, 38 were excluded because of violation of inclusion/exclusion criteria and 3 participants were excluded for unavailability of nasopharyngeal swab sample. The record presents demographic and result data for 3600 participants in the per-protocol population. These participants completed collection of the nasopharyngeal swab sample, the Epidemiology questionnaire, and 24 hours safety observation.
Receives: Other: Nasopharyngeal swab

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Nasopharyngeal Carriage of Streptococcus Pneumoniae

    A nasopharyngeal swab sample approached via the nasal route was collected. Swab samples were inoculated directly on plates and transferred to local laboratory for culture and isolation of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Percentage of participants in whom Streptococcus pneumoniae was isolated is reported by site.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Percentage of Participants With Serotypes of Streptococcus Pneumoniae

    Categories are the serotypes of Streptococcus pneumoniae. NO6A/NO6B belongs to Group 6 but is neither 6A nor 6B. NO23F belongs to Group 23 but is not 23F. NO19A/NO19F belongs to Group 19 but is neither 19A nor 19F. Serotypes G, H, D, I, E, F are results of latex agglutination test, and do not refer to a specific serotype; they cannot be further serotyped by the Quellung reaction. NO(Without capsule) includes all Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates that cannot be serotyped because of no capsule.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Percentage of Participants With Nasopharyngeal Carriage of Haemophilus Influenzae Type B

    A nasopharyngeal swab sample approached via the nasal route was collected. Swab samples were inoculated directly on plates and transferred to local laboratory for culture and isolation of Haemophilus influenzae type B. Percentage of participants in whom Haemophilus influenzae type B was isolated is reported by site.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Percentage of Participants With Nasopharyngeal Carriage of Moraxella Catarrhalis

    A nasopharyngeal swab sample approached via the nasal route was collected. Swab samples were inoculated directly on plates and transferred to local laboratory for culture and isolation of Moraxella catarrhalis. Percentage of participants in whom Moraxella catarrhalis was isolated is reported by site.

    Measured: Day 1

  3. Percentage of Streptococcus Pneumoniae Isolates Resistant to Antibiotics

    Categories are types of antibiotics. Penicillin (Old Criteria): Criteria of non-meningitis Streptococcus pneumoniae isolates resistant to penicillin were changed in Clinical Laboratory and Standards Institute (CLSI) in 2008. Criteria in CLSI before 2008 were the old criteria.

    Measured: Day 1

  4. Percentage of Haemophilus Influenzae Type B Isolates Resistant to Antibiotics

    Categories are types of antibiotics.

    Measured: Day 1

  5. Percentage of Moraxella Catarrhalis Isolates Resistant to Antibiotics

    Categories are types of antibiotics.

    Measured: Day 1

  6. Risk Factors Associated With Nasopharyngeal Carriage for Streptococcus Pneumoniae

    Risk factors include age of mother bearing (less than or equal to [<=] 30 years versus [vs] more than [>] 30 years); household register (local vs nonlocal); mother's education level (illiteracy, elementary school, junior middle school, senior/vocational high school or technical, college/university vs postgraduate and above); family monthly income per capita (below 600 Chinese Renminbi [RMB], 600 RMB to 1999 RMB, 2000 RMB to 4999 RMB, 5000 RMB to 7999 RMB, 8000 RMB to 9999 RMB vs more than or equal to [>=] 10000 RMB); whether have brothers or sisters (yes vs no).

    Measured: Day 1

  7. Risk Factors Associated With Nasopharyngeal Carriage for Haemophilus Influenzae Type B

    Risk factors include birth information (preterm vs full-term birth); household register (local vs nonlocal); feeding manners within 6 months (pure breast feeding, mixed feeding vs pure formula milk feeding); father's education level (illiteracy, elementary school, junior middle school, senior/vocational high school or technical, college/university vs postgraduate and above); living space per capita (continuous variables); vaccination history of Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) (no vs yes).

    Measured: Day 1

  8. Risk Factors Associated With Nasopharyngeal Carriage for Moraxella Catarrhalis

    Risk factors include birth information (preterm vs full-term birth); household register (local vs nonlocal); mother's education level (illiteracy, elementary school, junior middle school, senior/vocational high school or technical, college/university, vs postgraduate and above); whether have brothers or sisters (no vs yes).

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Streptococcus Pneumoniae Infections, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer at 6 sites in China.

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 1 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 23 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in China. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Apr 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?

Percentage of Participants With Nasopharyngeal Carriage of Streptococcus Pneumoniae (time frame: Day 1). The study lists 2 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 23 Apr 2012.
