Study Evaluating 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Children

August 4, 2011 updated by: Pfizer

A Phase 3, Open-Label Trial, Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Children Previously Partially Immunized With Prevenar

The purposes of this study are to evaluate the safety of 13-valent pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (13vPnC) in children who have already been vaccinated with Prevenar. The study will also assess the immunological response (measure the amount of antibodies, i.e. proteins that fight off germs) produced by children after they have been given the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine at 5 and 12 months or 12 months of age. In addition, reactions at the injection site will be assessed during the study.

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of Serotype-Specific Pneumococcal Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Antibodies 1 Month After the Toddler Dose
Time Frame: 1 month after the toddler dose (13 months of age)
Antibody geometric mean concentration (GMC) as measured by micrograms per milliliter (mcg/mL) for 7 common pneumococcal serotypes (serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F) and 6 additional pneumococcal serotypes specific to 13vPnC (Serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, and 19A) were presented. GMC (13vPnC) and corresponding 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CI) were evaluated. GMCs were calculated using all participants with available data for the specified blood draw.
1 month after the toddler dose (13 months of age)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants.
