About this study

Investigators in the Division of Infectious Diseases and the Division of Hospital Medicine of The George Washington University Medical Center are carrying out a study to determine if hospitalized patients receiving the polyvalent pneumococcal vaccine during an acute illness develop an adequate antibody response. The study group will consist of individuals diagnosed with pneumonia and admitted to the Medicine ward under the Pneumonia Core Measure Protocol, which assigns appropriate patients for vaccination based on the current guidelines from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

What is being measured

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

  1. A change in the pre- and post-vaccination pneumococcal serotype-specific IgG concentration from baseline will be considered protective based on the laboratory reference range.

    Measured: 5 weeks

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?

A change in the pre- and post-vaccination pneumococcal serotype-specific IgG concentration from baseline will be considered protective based on the laboratory reference range. (time frame: 5 weeks). 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?
