About this study

Official title: A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Reactogenicity and Immunogenicity of the Pneumococcal Protein PhtD Vaccine Without or With Adjuvant, Administered at 2 Different Concentrations According to a 0-2 Month Schedule, in Healthy Adults

The purpose of this study is to examine the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of the GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) Biologicals candidate pneumococcal vaccine containing PhtD in healthy elderly population aged 18-45 years of age.

Read the detailed description

The safety profile of the PhtD vaccine will be assessed in comparison to a comparator vaccine (Pneumovax 23TM). In order to further increase the immune response to vaccination, a novel adjuvant system will also be examined.

Being tested
PhtD vaccine with/without adjuvant, Pneumovax 23TM, NaCl
Keywords

  4. Evaluation of protection afforded by passive transfer of anti PhtD antibodies sera pooled from all individuals (passive transfer mice model assay)

    Measured: At month 0, 1, 3 and 12

  5. Frequency of PhtD-specific plasma cells generated by in vitro cultivated memory B-cells in a subset of subjects (measured by B-cell ELISPOT)

    Measured: At month 0, 3 and 12

  6. Frequency of CD4 and/or CD8 T cells that produce cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IFNg, CD40L and/or GM-CSF, upon PhtD re-stimulation in vitro, to evaluate the T-cell response, in a subset of subjects (measured by intracellular cytokine cytometry)

    Measured: At month 0, 3 and 12

  7. Anti-polysaccharide total gamma class immunoglobulin (IgG) concentration in the 23 valent Polysaccharide Pneumococcal Vaccine(23 PPV) group for 11 serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F) (ELISA)

    Measured: At month 0, 1 and 12

  8. Opsonophagocytic activity titers in the 23 PPV group for 11 serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F (OPA assay)

    Measured: At month 0, 1 and 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing PhtD vaccine with/without adjuvant, Pneumovax 23TM and NaCl in people with Pneumococcal Disease, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site in Belgium.

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 5 inclusion and 16 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 14 Jan 2013. 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 Belgium. 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?

Occurrence, intensity and relationship of any solicited local and general signs and symptoms (time frame: During a 7-day follow up period (i.e. Days 0-6) after each vaccine dose). The study lists 5 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 NCT01767402, 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 14 Jan 2013.
