Trial summary

There is evidence that aluminum phosphate (AlPO4) contained as an adjuvant in conjugate vaccines enhances the immune response in infants. There is no data so far evaluating whether this also applies to adults. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Open Label, Controlled Phase II Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity After Two Different 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Formulations in Elderly Subjects Aged 65 Years and Older Who Are Naive to Previous 23vPS Immunization

There is evidence that aluminum phosphate (AlPO4) contained as an adjuvant in conjugate vaccines enhances the immune response in infants. There is no data so far evaluating whether this also applies to adults. The objective of this study is to compare the immune response of 2 different 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate (13vPnC) formulations with and without AlPO4 to select a formulation and to compare the immune response to the chosen 13vPnC formulation relative to the immune response to 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (23vPS).

What is being measured

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

  1. Demonstrate 13vPnC without AlPO4 is as immunogenic as 13vPnC with AlPO4 to select a 13vPnC formulation.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Demonstrate that the selected 13vPnC formulation is as immunogenic as 23vPS (by IgG).

  2. Safety and tolerability of the selected 13vPnC formulation given 12 months after a previous dose of the selected 13vPnC.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in people with Vaccines, Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine, run by Wyeth is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Pfizer.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 5 Aug 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Demonstrate 13vPnC without AlPO4 is as immunogenic as 13vPnC with AlPO4 to select a 13vPnC formulation.. 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 NCT00269672, 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 5 Aug 2010.
