Active clinical trials for "Pneumococcal Infections"

Phase 1/2, Prospective, Single Center, Randomized, ActiveControlled, Double-Blind, Age De-escalation Study to assess the safety and tolerability of SIILPCV10 administered as a single-dose regimen to healthy Gambian pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV)-naïve young adults and PCV-primed toddlers through 4 weeks post vaccination. Each adult and toddler subject will undergo a total of 4 clinic visits. Each infant subject will undergo a total of 9 scheduled visits. Blood will be collected from all subjects during the screening visit for safety and potential immunological assessments, and 28 days after completion of the vaccination schedule for immunological assessments. For adults, the vaccine was given intramuscularly into the mid-deltoid muscle of nondominant arm using a 24-gauge needle. For toddlers and infants, the vaccine will be given IM into the anterolateral aspect of the left thigh. Blood will be collected from adults and toddlers for safety labs at the Day 7 post-vaccination visit.

S. pneumoniae is frequently isolated from nasal swabs of healthy subjects, but it can also cause severe diseases (pneumonia, bacteraemia, meningitis and sepsis).HIV-infected subjects are more sensitive to invasive diseases and recurrent infection than the general population. Nasal carriage is the main pathogenetic feature for invasive disease: bacteraemia is more frequent in carriers, HIV+ patients are constantly colonized by the same pneumococcal strain and their nasopharyngeal isolates have features similar to subsequent invasive strains. A 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) has long been available and recommended in the HIV+ population as prophylaxis for invasive disease. Studies regarding efficacy of PPV23 in HIV+ are controversial and highlight that immune response induced by PPV23 in HIV+ is poor and an hyporesponsiveness to repeated polysaccaridic antigens stimulation can occur. Moreover, PPV23 seems not to affect pneumococcal carriage status and could lead to emergence of non-vaccine serotypes. The conjugation of pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides to carrier proteins results in an improved T-cell dependent immune response, characterized by increased antibody concentrations and induction of T and B memory cells, with a demonstrated higher efficacy in children. A heptavalent vaccine conjugated with diphtheria toxoid (PCV7) is approved in Europe since 2001 and is effective in reducing incidence of invasive disease by vaccine serotypes (4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F), in both children and adults, due to effect of herd immunity. A PCV13 formulation has recently been developed, covering PCV7 serotypes plus 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F and 19A. PCV13 revealed the same safety profile as PCV7 in pediatric patients, that are the main target of conjugate vaccines licensure. Some trials showed a better antibody response in terms of quantity and quality in HIV + adults by using PCV7 as compared to PPV23. However these data were not unequivocally confirmed in further studies on the use of PCV7 alone or in combination with PPV23. The first trials of PCV13 use in adults showed the same or even better response compared to PPV23, with a safety and tolerability similar to PCV7. PCV13 in HIV+ adults is a promising candidate prophylactic measure for pneumococcal infections. The purpose of this study is to evaluate serological response and prevalence of nasopharyngeal colonization by S. pneumoniae in HIV+ non-hospitalized adults, following vaccination with 2 doses of PCV13.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Eligible subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive GEN-004 with adjuvant or placebo. Each subject will receive up to 3 doses at 4 week intervals. Following the third dose, subjects will be inoculated intranasally with S. pneumoniae serotype 6B. Nasal washes to identify S. pneumoniae colonization will be obtained pre-inoculation, and then 2, 7 and 14 days after inoculation. Subjects will also be monitored for safety and tolerability throughout the dosing period, and then for 12 months after their last dose. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of GEN-004 in reducing colonization rates and magnitude of colonization following the S. pneumoniae challenge.

This study will assess the immunogenicity and safety of primary vaccination with NBP606 compared to the existing commercial vaccine, when given concomitantly with routine pediatric vaccinations.

This study will assess the Immunogenicity and safety of 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine compared with 23-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine. All participants should be naïve of Pneumococcal vaccine.

This study is primarily designed to evaluate the IgG immune responses to the 13 pneumococcal serotypes induced by 13vPnC compared with the immune responses induced by 7vPnC when measured 1 month after the infant series, and to evaluate the acceptability of the safety profile of 13vPnC as measured by the incidence rates of local reactions, systemic events and adverse events.

This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of two investigational pneumococcal vaccines at three dose levels in healthy adults. Primary Objective: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of two investigational pneumococcal vaccines. Observational Objective: - To evaluate the immunogenicity of the investigational pneumococcal vaccines.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in the prevention of the first episode of vaccine-type pneumococcal community-acquired pneumonia in adults.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnC) compared to Prevenar (7vPnC), when given concomitantly with routine paediatric vaccinations in India.

This study will assess the safety, tolerability and immune response of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnC) compared with 23-valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine (23vPS). Although the study started with only 1 population, amendments to the original protocol will now reflect three participant populations. Three age cohorts will be enrolled. The first cohort (age 60-64) will be blinded. Cohort 2 (age 50-59) and cohort 3 (age 18-49) are open label. Subjects in cohorts 1 and 2 will receive 2 vaccinations 3-4 years apart. Subjects in cohort 3 will receive 1 vaccination. All participants should be naïve of 23vPS. Comparisons of immune responses from the different cohorts will be done.
