About this study

Official title: Study of the Immunogenicity of a Prime Boost Vaccination Strategy Combining Conjugated Anti-pneumococcal and Polysaccharide Anti-pneumococcal Vaccine Compared to Polysaccharide Anti -Pneumococcal Vaccine Alone in Patients With Sickle Cells Disease

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the major cause of bacterial infection in patients with sickle cells disease.

The 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PSV) is supposed to be poorly immunogenic in these patients. We want to evaluate whether a prime with a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), able to induce immunologic memory, would improve the immune response against SP polysaccharides (SPP).

Primary objective: To evaluate and compare the specific antibody response to a prime-boost vaccine strategy combining PCV prime at W0 followed by the administration of PSV boost at W4, to the administration of PSV alone at W4 in patients with sickle cells disease.

Secondary objectives: Evaluation and comparison of the specific antibody response to the thirteen pneumococcal serotypes shared by the PCV and PSV vaccines, 4 weeks after the single PSV vaccination for patients from Group 1 or 4 weeks after the boost PSV vaccination for patients from group 2. Evaluation of the duration of the specific antibody response at W24 and 96. Evaluation of the T CD4 lymphocyte response to the CRM 197 protein. Safety of the vaccines.

Study Design: Randomised, monocentric, controlled phase II study of the immunological efficacy of a prime boost strategy combining the sequential administration of the PCV and PSV, compared to the administration of the PSV alone. 180 adults patients with sickle cells disease will be included. The primary endpoint : proportion of responders at W8 to at least 10 of thirteen serotypes. Secondary endpoints : Proportion of responders at W8 according to 4 categories of responders: 5-7; 3-4; 2-1 and 0. Evaluation of the pneumococcal opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) at baseline and W8 for each serotype, defined as the proportion of patients with OPA > 1:8 geometric mean of the specific antibody titers proportion of patients who experienced an increase of specific antibody levels 1 g/ml. Evaluation of the priming effect of the PCV vaccine in the group 1. Duration of the specific antibody responses at week 24 and W96. CD4 T lymphocyte responses to the CRM 197 protein (proliferative and cytokine production) at weeks 0, 8 and 12. Safety of the vaccines frequency of Streptococcus pneumoniae infections.

Statistical Considerations: With a sample size of 180 patients, and a randomization ration of 1:1, the study will have a power of at least 90% to show a difference of 25% category between the group receiving PCV and PSV vs the group receiving PSV alone (two-sided type I error = 5%). The primary comparison between both groups will be performed using a Chi2 test for independent groups or a Fisher exact test where appropriate.

What is being measured

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

  1. the proportion of responders at least to 10 of thirteen serotypes

    A responder is defined by a rise least two fold from baseline) of antibody titers specific to pneumococcal serotypes;

    Measured: at Week 8

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Proportion of responders according to 4 categories of responders: 5-7; 3-4; 2-1 and 0.

    Response is defined as fold rise of antibody titers (W8 to baseline)

    Measured: at Week 8

  2. Evaluation of the pneumococcal opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) for each serotype,

    defined as the proportion of patients with OPA > 1:8.

    Measured: at baseline and Week 8

  3. The antibody response of the conjugate vaccine

    The antibody response to the 13 serotypes of the conjugate vaccine in terms of geometric mean of the specific antibody titers (µg/ml)

    Measured: at week 4

  4. The antibody response to the 13 serotypes of the conjugate vaccine in terms of proportion of patients

    Measured: at week 4

  5. In the group 1 antibodies titers (µg/ml)

    Measured: at week 24 and W96

  6. Number of T CD4 cells responsive to the CRM 197 protein (proliferative and cytokine production) in the two groups of the study

    Measured: at weeks 0, 8 and 12.

  7. Number of Streptococcus pneumoniae infections

    Number of Streptococcus pneumoniae infections (bacteremia, meningitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, upper respiratory tract infections)

    Measured: between baseline and W96

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Vaccination with the combined vaccine (Prevenar13 ®) and Vaccination with the polysaccharide vaccine (Pneumo 23 ®) in people with Invasive Pneumococcal Infections and Sickle Cells Disease, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 2 inclusion and 14 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 Sep 2022. 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.

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?

the proportion of responders at least to 10 of thirteen serotypes (time frame: at Week 8). 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 NCT02274415, 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 9 Sep 2022.
