View clinical trials related to Pneumococcal Infections.
Filter by:Infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae (the pneumococcus) is the leading cause of pneumonia, bacterial meningitis and bacteraemia worldwide in the very young and the elderly. Although pneumococcal vaccines exist, they do not provide complete protection and new strategies to combat this pathogen are urgently needed. Asymptomatic infection of S. pneumoniae in the human nasopharynx precedes the development of pneumococcal disease. Previously, an Experimental Human Pneumococcal Carriage (EHPC) model has been developed at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM). The current study entails to establish this model in healthy adults living in the Netherlands using the inoculation dose currently used at LSTM. Healthy adult participants (M/F) will be inoculated intranasally with strain BHN418, a penicillin sensitive serotype 6B strain of S. pneumoniae that was previously isolated from a healthy carrier. Following inoculation, participants will be monitored and blood and nasal samples will be collected over a period of 28 ± 3 days. Participants will receive a course of amoxicillin to eradicate infection on or shortly after the last visit at day 28 ± 3, unless S. pneumoniae is not detected on both day 14 and 28 ± 3 post-inoculation.
- The purpose of this study is to describe the safety of the study vaccine (called 13vPnC) in people who are 18-49 years of age in India. - This study is seeking participants who are generally healthy adults ≥18 and <50 years of age, with no prior history of pneumococcal vaccination. - Participants will take part in the study for approximately one month which includes two visits to the study clinic. - Participants will receive a single dose of study vaccine (13vPnC) into the arm at visit 1 and will come to study site for a follow-up visit after about a month.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), immunization; is defined as making a person immune or resistant to an infectious disease by applying a vaccine (1). The primary indicator of an effective immunization is that adequate vaccination rates have been achieved. The risk of cancer and chronic diseases increases with advancing age, which increases the importance of immunization in adults. Cancer patients, one of the patient groups for whom adult immunization is a priority and crucial, are subjected to immunosuppressive medications, making them vulnerable to infections. In cancer patients, infections are severe, antimicrobial treatments are sometimes insufficient, leading to morbidity and mortality. One of these infections is pneumococcal disease caused by Streptococcus pneumonia, with high morbidity and mortality in cancer patients. Invasive pneumococcal disease is seen 23-48 times more frequently in cancer patients compared to healthy individuals. In many countries worldwide, the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and the 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine, both developed to prevent pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumonia, are successfully used in childhood vaccination programs within the framework of WHO's immunization policies. However, in Turkey, like in the rest of the world, the required adult immunization rates have not been achieved yet. Immunization rates among cancer patients, one of the patient groups for whom adult vaccination is required, remain below the targeted levels. Pharmacists, one of the health professionals, have significant contributions to increasing vaccination rates in adults. According to studies, pharmacists can help raise immunization rates by providing education and information. In Turkey, no study has been conducted to assess the impact of vaccination education on cancer patients' attitudes and actions about the pneumococcal vaccine. This study aimed to determine the impact of pharmacist-led pneumonia and pneumococcal vaccine education on cancer patients' vaccination attitudes, knowledge, and vaccination rates.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the concomitant and non-concomitant use of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) mRNA-1273, the nucleoside-modified mRNA vaccine for active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), with a 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (V110) for the prevention of pneumococcal disease, or a 15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (V114) indicated for the prevention of invasive pneumococcal disease.
This an open phase Ⅳ clinical trial of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine manufactured by Sinovac Biotech Co., Ltd.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immunity persistence after single dose of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine.
The aim of the study are to assess the persistence of immunity against vaccine serotypes (VSTs) and vaccine-related serotypes in PCV10 vaccinated children in Finland.
Study of the safety and immunogenicity of 20vPnC and a booster dose of BNT162b2 administered at the same visit or each vaccine given alone
A phase 3, randomized, double-blind trial to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in pneumococcal vaccine-naïve adults 60 years of age and older in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide, resulting in up to 1 million pediatric deaths every year.Since the licensure of PCV7 and PCV13,the reported overall decline in invasive pneumococcal disease in hospitalized children younger than 5 years several years is approximately 60% in Western countries.This is a single center,blind, randomized, positive-controlled clinical trial.The purpose of this study is to preliminary evaluate the safety of PCV13i vaccine in subjects at age of 7 months and above,and to investigate the safety and immunogenicity of PCV13i vaccine at age of 2 and 3 months,compared to PCV13.
The safety and immunogenicity of EuPCV15 compared to Prevenar13 are assessed in healthy adults.
