Trial summary

Pneumococcal infections are frequent and serious. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia in adults. In metropolitan France, there are 6000 to 7000 bacteremic pneumococcal infections each year, with a mortality rate of 10 to 30% in adults. Read more about this study

About this study

Pneumococcal infections are frequent and serious. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of community-acquired pneumonia in adults. In metropolitan France, there are 6000 to 7000 bacteremic pneumococcal infections each year, with a mortality rate of 10 to 30% in adults.

To fight against these bacterial infections, vaccines have been developed. At a time when antibiotic savings and the fight against antimicrobial resistance are major public health issues, vaccination is a first choice option to slow the development of pneumococcal resistance. Thus, after these different actions, the proportions of pneumococci with decreased susceptibility to penicillin G fell from 53 to 22%.

While there is a significant decrease in invasive pneumococcal disease in children since the use of conjugate vaccines (vaccination of up to 94% of children), the rate of invasive Pneumococcal disease in adults has decreased less significantly.

In March 2017, the High Council of Public Health (HCSP) proposed the vaccination of all non-immunocompromised adults at risk and immunocompromised patients.

Awareness-raising among vaccinating physicians seems essential, especially in recent years when the value of vaccination is threatened by speculation about its efficacy and toxicity. However, the investigators know that vaccination aims not only to protect the individual, but also the population, especially children and the elderly and the fragile people.

Thus, in the context of pneumococcal vaccination, identifying one or more profiles of patients at risk in the absence of vaccination could be particularly beneficial. Indeed, if the physician knows about the population at risk of not being vaccinated, it will be better able to identify patients at risk of not being protected against pneumococcus.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of Pneumococcal Vaccine Coverage in Adults with Pneumococcal Vaccine Indication

    The primary outcome measure is to evaluate the patient's Immunization status for mandatory vaccinations, his pneumococcal vaccination status and how it was determined (the patient knew it, the presence of a vaccination card, attending physician, indeterminate status).

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immunocompromised Patients and Non-immunosuppressed Patients at Risk With an Indication for Pneumococcal Vaccination, run by Fondation Hôpital Saint-Joseph at 1 site in France.

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 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 15 Feb 2019. 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 France. 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?

Evaluation of Pneumococcal Vaccine Coverage in Adults with Pneumococcal Vaccine Indication (time frame: Day 1). 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 15 Feb 2019.
