About this study

This study was designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of three doses of an investigational pneumococcal vaccine in healthy adult volunteers.

Primary Objective:

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of an investigational Pneumococcal vaccine.
Read the detailed description

Each volunteer participant will receive two injections with one of three vaccine doses, administered on Day 0 and Day 30, in a dose-ascending manner, pending safety review at each dose level. All participants will be monitored for safety for 30 days after each injection.

What is being measured

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

  1. The occurrence of solicited injection site reactions, solicited systemic reactions, unsolicited systemic reactions, and serious adverse events occurring throughout the trial

    Solicited injection site reactions: Pain, Erythema, and Swelling. Solicited systemic reactions: Fever (Temperature), Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia

    Measured: Day 0 up to Day 60 post vaccination

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immunogenicity of pneumococcal vaccine after 2 vaccinations

    Evaluation of immune responses to antigen component of the investigational vaccine by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    Measured: Day 0 and 30 days post vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pneumococcal Vaccine in people with Pneumococcal Infections and Pneumococcal Pneumonia, run by Sanofi at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 6 inclusion and 19 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 30 Sep 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Switzerland. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

The occurrence of solicited injection site reactions, solicited systemic reactions, unsolicited systemic reactions, and serious adverse events occurring throughout the trial (time frame: Day 0 up to Day 60 post vaccination). 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 NCT01444001, 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 30 Sep 2011.
