The purpose of this study is to assess the indirect effects of a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine administered to infants on vaccinees' elder non-vaccinated siblings aged 3 to 7 years.

This study includes a cross-sectional sampling of nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs in 2011 and a register-based follow-up study for invasive disease, hospital-diagnosed pneumonia, tympanostomy tube surgery and outpatient antimicrobial treatment.

Being tested
PCV GSK1024850A, hepatitis B vaccine or hepatitis A vaccine

What is being measured

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

  1. Carriage Due to Any Pneumococcal Serotype Included in the Ten-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV10) Vaccine in Older Siblings of Children Vaccinated With Infant Schedules

    Carriage due to any pneumococcal serotype included in the ten-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV10) vaccine in older siblings of children vaccinated with infant schedules. Nasopharyngeal swabs taken once at 3 to 7 years of age when the vaccinated sibling is at least 12 months of age

    Measured: one sampling at 3 to 7 years of age

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Carriage Due to Any Pneumococcal Serotype

    Nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs taken once at 3 to 7 years of age when the vaccinated sibling is at least 12 months of age

    Measured: one sampling at 3 to 7 years of age

  2. Carriage Due to Haemophilus Influenzae

    Nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs taken once at 3 to 7 years of age when the vaccinated sibling is at least 12 months of age

    Measured: one sampling at 3 to 7 years of age

  3. Invasive Pneumococcal Disease

    Register follow-up up to 8 years after the vaccination of the younger sibling in the family

    Measured: Up to 8 years

  4. Hospital-diagnosed Pneumonia

    Register follow-up up to 8 years after the vaccination of the younger sibling in the family

    Measured: Up to 8 years

  5. Tympanostomy Tube Surgery

    Register follow-up up to 8 years after the vaccination of the younger sibling in the family

    Measured: Up to 8 years

  6. Outpatient Antibiotic Treatment

    Register follow-up up to 8 years after the vaccination of the younger sibling in the family

    Measured: Up to 8 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pneumococcal Infections, run by Arto Palmu at 1 site in Finland.

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 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 2021. 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 Finland. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 May 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Carriage Due to Any Pneumococcal Serotype Included in the Ten-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV10) Vaccine in Older Siblings of Children Vaccinated With Infant Schedules (time frame: one sampling at 3 to 7 years of age). 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 1 Mar 2021.
