March 17, 2015 updated by: Sanofi Pasteur, a Sanofi Company

This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of an investigational pneumococcal vaccine in healthy adult volunteers.

Primary Objective:

  • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of an investigational pneumococcal vaccine.

Observational Objective:

  • To evaluate the immunogenicity of an investigational Pneumococcal vaccine.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

An initial cohort of 10 participants will receive a single dose of investigational pneumococcal vaccine. After safety assessment of this cohort during a 24-hour in-unit observation period, additional cohorts will receive two injections of the study vaccine 30 days apart, at three dose levels, in ascending doses by cohort, pending safety review at each dose level. All participants will be monitored for safety for 30 days after each vaccination.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. 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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 50 years (Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

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
Number and percentage of participants reporting solicited injection site reactions, solicited systemic reactions, unsolicited systemic reactions, and serious adverse events occurring throughout the trial
Time Frame: Days 0 through 30 post-vaccination
Solicited injection site reactions: Pain, Erythema, and Swelling. Solicited systemic reactions: Fever (Temperature), Headache, Malaise, and Myalgia.
Days 0 through 30 post-vaccination

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Immunogenicity of Pneumococcal Vaccine After two Vaccinations
Time Frame: Days 0 and 30 days post-vaccination
Evaluation of immune responses to antigen component of the investigational vaccine by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Days 0 and 30 days post-vaccination
