About this study

Official title: Safety and Immunogenicity of Pneumococcal Protein Vaccine (PPrV) in Healthy Adults, Toddlers and Infants in Bangladesh

This study is designed to explore the safety and tolerability of an investigational pneumococcal vaccine through a step-down enrollment.

Primary Objective:

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of an investigational pneumococcal vaccine.

Secondary Objective:

  • To evaluate the immunogenicity of an investigational pneumococcal vaccine.
Read the detailed description

All adult participants will receive a single injection of study vaccine or placebo. After satisfactory safety evaluation, toddler participants will receive a single injection of study vaccine or placebo. After satisfactory safety evaluation, infant participants will receive 3 injections of study vaccine or placebo in dose-ascending order (low, medium, and high dose), with a safety evaluation after each dose level before the study proceeds to the next higher dose. All participants will undergo immunogenicity testing and monitoring for safety.

Being tested
Pneumococcal Vaccine High Dose (Formulation 1), Tris buffered saline (Placebo), Pneumococcal Vaccine Low Dose (Formulation 2), Pneumococcal Vaccine Middle Dose (Formulation 3), Pneumococcal Vaccine Middle Dose (Formulation 4)

What is being measured

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

  1. Number and percentage of participants reporting solicited injection site and systemic reactions, unsolicited systemic reactions, and serious adverse events following vaccination.

Solicited systemic reactions: For adults, Fever (Temperature), Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia; Toddlers and infants, Fever (Temperature), Vomiting, Crying Abnormal, Drowsiness, Appetite Loss, Irritability.

    Measured: Day 0 through Day 90 post-vaccination

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Immunogenicity of the Pneumococcal Vaccine in adults and toddlers

    Evaluation of immune responses to antigen component of the investigational vaccine by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    Measured: Day 30 post-vaccination (adults and toddlers)

  2. Immunogenicity of the Pneumococcal Vaccine in toddlers

    Evaluation of immune responses to antigen component of the investigational vaccine by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

    Measured: Day 30 post-vaccination 2 and 3 (infants)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pneumococcal Vaccine High Dose (Formulation 1), Pneumococcal Vaccine Low Dose (Formulation 2) and Pneumococcal Vaccine Middle Dose (Formulation 3) in people with Pneumonia and Pneumococcal Infections, run by Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company at 1 site in Bangladesh.

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 9 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 10 Jan 2018. 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 Bangladesh. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Number and percentage of participants reporting solicited injection site and systemic reactions, unsolicited systemic reactions, and serious adverse events following vaccination. (time frame: Day 0 through Day 90 post-vaccination). 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 NCT01446926, 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 10 Jan 2018.
