About this study

Official title: An Open Label Single-arm Trial of the Immunogenicity and Reactogenicity of a 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (Prevenar13®) Given to Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Who Have Not Previously Received a Primary Schedule of Immunisation With Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccines in Infancy.

Children/ young people with diabetes may be at a higher risk of acquiring certain infections. These infections include those caused by a bacterium called the pneumococcus which can cause pneumonia, meningitis and ear infections. In the UK older children with diabetes are given a vaccine against the pneumococcus bug called Pneumovax (or PPS23 for short). Although PPS23 causes a good immune response in children over 2 years of age it is not actually known how well PPS23 protects against infection in children of any age. In addition there is some data in adults and children that PPS23 may result in a reduced response to future doses of pneumococcal vaccines (hyporesponsiveness). Because of the lack of information on how well PPS23 protects and potential hyporesponsiveness the investigators would like to study the use of an alternative vaccine against pneumococcus called Prevenar13 (or pCV13). This vaccine is known to be safe and to work well in babies and young children and there have been no concerns about hyporesponsiveness. It has been approved for use in children up to 17 years of age but there is little information on the size and duration of immune response to PCV13 in children aged 6 years and older.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pneumococcal serotype-specific (SpVS) antibody concentrations at 3 months following a single dose of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13)

    The geometric mean concentration (GMC), together with 95% confidence intervals, of SpVS antibody at baseline, 3 months and 12 months following a single dose of PCV13.

    Measured: 3 months after vaccination

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Pneumococcal serotype-specific GMC for serotypes 4, 7F & 19A at 3 months after immunisation with a single dose of PCV13 in the children who have had a prior dose of PPS23 vs those who have not.

    The difference between the pneumococcal serotype-specific geometric mean antibody concentrations (GMC) for serotypes 4, 7F and 19A at three months after immunisation with a single dose of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in the children who have had a prior dose of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPS23) versus those who have not.

    Measured: 3 months after vaccination

  2. Pneumococcal serotype-specific (SpVS) antibody concentrations at baseline and 12 months following a single dose of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13).

    The proportion of children with vaccine pneumococcal serotype-specific (SpVS) antibody concentrations >0.35mcg/ml at baseline and 12 months following a single dose of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13).

    Measured: 12 months after vaccination

  3. GMC of SpVS antibody at baseline, 3mnth and 12mnth following 1 dose of PCV13

    To determine the GMC, together with 95% confidence intervals, of SpVS antibody at baseline, 3mnth and 12mnth following 1 dose of PCV13

    Measured: 12 months after vaccination

  4. Pneumococcal serotype-specific GMC for all vaccine-specific serotypes (VS) at baseline, 3 months and 12 months following immunisation with a single dose of PCV13 in children who have had a prior dose of PPS23 and those who have not.

    The difference between the pneumococcal serotype-specific GMC for all vaccine-specific serotypes (VS) at baseline, 3 months and 12 months following immunisation with a single dose of PCV13 in children who have had a prior dose of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPS23) versus those who have not.

    Measured: 12 months after vaccination

  5. Pneumococcal serotype-specific antibody concentrations for all VS in children who have had a prior dose of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPS23) and those who have not.

    The difference between the proportion of children with pneumococcal serotype-specific antibody concentrations >0.35mcg/ml for all VS in children who have had a prior dose of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPS23) versus those who have not.

    Measured: 12 months after vaccination

  6. Vaccine-specific serotype antibody concentration between baseline and 3 months with HbA1C.

    The correlation coefficient for the increase in VS antibody concentration between baseline and 3 months and HbA1C at baseline.

    Measured: 3 months after vaccination

  7. Blood glucose control in the week preceding and the week following immunisation with PCV13

    A descriptive analysis of blood glucose control in the week preceding and the week following immunisation with PCV13

    Measured: One week after vaccination

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) in people with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, run by University of Oxford at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 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 9 May 2017. 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 United Kingdom. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

Pneumococcal serotype-specific (SpVS) antibody concentrations at 3 months following a single dose of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) (time frame: 3 months after vaccination). 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 9 May 2017.
