Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 0 months to 18 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Child, Adult

Study population: Children presenting with invasive pneumococcal disease at any of the participating sites listed. Invasive pneumococcal disease is defined by isolation by culture or PCR of Streptococcus pneumoniae from sterile sites including blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), joint fluid or pleural fluid. In those patients with bacteraemia, their presentation needs to be accompanied by signs of sepsis.

Who may be able to join

  • Children aged 0 to 18 years admitted to one of the six centres with IPD.

Who cannot join

  • Children who do not fulfil the age criteria for immunological evaluation at that particular site e.g. aged <2 years at Royal Children's Hospital.
  • Children with a known underlying condition predisposing to IPD i.e. nephrotic syndrome.

About this study

Official title: What is the Incidence of an Immune Disorder in Children With Invasive Pneumococcal Disease (IPD)? A Prospective Cohort Study.

This is a multicentre prospective audit to determine the incidence of immunodeficiency in children with IPD.

Aims and/or research question of the project

  1. To determine the incidence of primary immunodeficiency in children >2 years who present with IPD
  2. To determine the types of immunodeficiency associated with IPD in children

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Children with IPDChildren with IPD will be referred for immunological evaluation. The protocol for immune work up will be the same but between centres there is variation in the age criteria for referral i.e. >2 years in some, >6 months in others.

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of primary immunodeficiency in children who present with invasive pneumococcal disease

    This will be picked up upon prospective immunological testing, after identification of patients with invasive pneumococcal disease. A series of tests will be performed depending on the clinical opinion of the immunology team. Such tests may include lymphocyte subsets, complement function, serum immunoglobulin levels, memory B cells, vaccine antibody responses, etc.

    Measured: 3 years

  2. types of immunodeficiency associated with children who present with invasive pneumococcal disease

    This will be determined based on the testing performed by the immunologists.

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. whether increased referrals of children who present with invasive pneumococcal disease for investigation of primary immunodeficiency facilitates early detection

    This information will come from reviewing the case series of patients who are identified from this study. The incidence of those with primary immunodeficiency will be analysed against known background rates of diagnoses.

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Invasive Pneumococcal Disease, Recurrent Isolated, 1 and Invasive Pneumococcal Disease, Recurrent Isolated, 2, run by Murdoch Childrens Research Institute at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 6 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Australia, New Zealand. 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?

incidence of primary immunodeficiency in children who present with invasive pneumococcal disease (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03815357, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 6 Jul 2022.
