About this study

Given the frequency and severity of invasive pneumococcal infections and questions about the place of VPC-13 in the prevention of pneumococcal infections in adults based on the presence of risk factors, current laboratory surveillance should be supplemented with data on the clinical features of adult invasive pneumococcal infections (IPI) cases. In particular it is necessary to collect for these cases, the clinical forms, the severity and the existence of risk factors and to make the link between these characteristics and those strains of pneumococci responsible for the IPI in particular, their serotype. The follow-up of the evolution of the cases according to the presence of risk factors, their clinical form and their serotype coverage (vaccine strain or not) must to guide recommendations for adult VPC-13 and to monitor the effects of VPC-13 vaccination recommendations. These effects are indirect, linked to the effect of vaccination of children with VPC-13 since 2010, which modifies the serotypes responsible for infections in vaccinated and unvaccinated patients, and the direct effects of possible use of the conjugate vaccine in adults (according to the recommendations that will be given by the Vaccination Technical Committee of the High Council of Public Health). The project is based on the existing network of 23 Regional Pneumococcal Observatories (ORP) located in metropolitan France and the network of infectious diseases by completing the microbiological collection of strains of pneumococci isolated from invasive infections in adults by a clinical collection in hospitals or voluntary clinics where the laboratory participates in the ORP. Given the establishment in 2012 of an adult bacterial meningitis observatory, to which the ORP are associated, this project does not include the surveillance of pneumococcal meningitis in adults.

What is being measured

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

  1. Frequency of invasive pneumococcal infections

    identify the frequency of invasive pneumococcal infections in function of the presence of risk factors

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Weight of invasive pneumococcal infections

    measure the weight of invasive pneumococcal infections based on the presence of risk factors and immunization or not

    Measured: Day 0

  2. Number of Invasive Pneumococcal Infections in Adults

    monitor the epidemiology of Invasive Pneumococcal Infections in Adults according to strategies for the use of VPC-13 and VPS-23 vaccines in children and adults

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pneumococcal Infections, run by University Hospital, Limoges 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 24 Jun 2026. 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.

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?

Frequency of invasive pneumococcal infections (time frame: Day 0). 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 24 Jun 2026.
