About this study

Official title: The Immunogenicity and Safety of Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Human Immunodeficiency Virus - Infected Children

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of 7 - valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccine in HIV - infected children, and assess the predictive factors for protective antibody responses after receiving the vaccine.

Read the detailed description
  1. pneumoniae is an important cause of severe invasive bacterial disease in human immunodeficiency disease (HIV) infected children. The incidence of pneumococcal bacteremia cases requiring hospitalization among Thai children aged < 5 years had a range of 10.6-28.9 cases per 100,000 persons.[1]

Children infected with HIV have a markedly increased risk for pneumococcal infection compared with those who are not HIV-infected. HIV-infected children had rates of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) that were 2.8 and 12.6 times the rate among HIV-negative children aged <5 and <3 years, respectively. Incidence of IPD is 6.1 cases/100 patient-years among HIV-infected children through age 7 years [2]

Recent important strategy in prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) is an implementation of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), which can induce immunity starting from 2 months of age. In a small study of 5-valent PCV among children < 2 years of age, serotype-specific IgG antibodies (ELISA) response after 3 doses was found to be immunogenic among both groups.[3] The Pediatric AIDS Clinical Trials Group Study 292 show that the immunologic responses to 7- valent PCV were similar for all serotypes among asymptomatic and symptomatic HIV - infected children.[4] The study of quantitative and qualitative antibody responses to 9 - valent PCV in HIV-infected children in South Africa shows similar quantitative antibody responses but poorer qualitative antibody responses to the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine when compared to HIV-negative children.[5].

In Thailand, 7 - valent PCV (Prevnar® ) was available in 2003. It is recommended for young children and highly recommended for high risk children such as HIV-infected children, congenital heart disease or premature infants. However, one of the major obstacles for large scale implementation is cost issue. There is no previous study about immunogenicity, safety or efficacy of 7 - valent PCV in HIV -infected Thai children, the objective of this study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of a 7 - valent PCV vaccine among HIV - infected compared with HIV - exposed children.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccineBiological

    Dosage: 0.5 ml per dose Administration: intramuscular injection Location: left deltoid area x 1 injection Frequency: depend on first dose of vaccination. If 2-6 months of age, vaccination at month 0, 2, and 4. If 7-23 months of age, vaccination at month 0 and 2. If 2-9 years of age, vaccination at month 0. If patient is HIV positive, vacciation months 0 and 2 if age is 2-9 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. immunogenicity

    Proportion of children with PCV serotype - specific IgG antibody at 28 days after completion of primary series of vaccination.

    Measured: 28 days

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Safety

    Number of adverse events after PCV administration

    Measured: 28 days

  2. compare serotype

    Compare proportion of PCV serotype - specific IgG antibody in HIV - infected children by baseline clinical staging, CD4 and viral load.

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing valent pneumococcal conjugated vaccine in people with HIV, run by The HIV Netherlands Australia Thailand Research Collaboration at 2 sites in Thailand.

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 8 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 4 Sep 2014. 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 Thailand. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

immunogenicity (time frame: 28 days). 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 NCT01135082, 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 4 Sep 2014.
