Apnea in Hospitalized Preterm Infants Following the Administration of Routine Childhood Vaccines

Prematurity Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Prospective, Randomized, Open-label Clinical Trial to Assess Apnea Following Administration of 13-valent Conjugate Pneumococcal Vaccine, Diphtheria Toxoid, Tetanus Toxoid, and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine, Inactivated Polio Vaccine, Hepatitis B Vaccine, and Haemophilus Influenzae Type B Vaccine in Preterm Infants

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

A prospective, randomized open-label clinical trial will be conducted from July 2018 to October 2020. Approximately 300 preterm infants will be enrolled across three sites: Duke University Medical Center, the University of North Carolina, and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Eligible infants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either 2-month US licensed childhood vaccines (PCV13, DTaP, HBV, IPV an Hib) or no vaccines. After their participation in the study, healthcare providers of the infants in the unvaccinated group will make decision abut receipt of their 2-month childhood vaccines. The study will collect data from the continuous cardiorespiratory and pulse oximetry monitors from randomization to 48 hours after randomization for infants in the unvaccinated group, and from randomization to 48 hours after vaccination for infants in the vaccinated group. Infants in both groups will be monitored for up to 60 hours for the occurrence of apnea, bradycardia, and oxygen desaturation. For infants in the "vaccinated" group, the study will also collect adverse events of clinical interest and serious adverse events occurring between the end of the 48-hour monitoring period and 14 days after vaccination. This information will be collected through parental report and review of medical records.

Clinical Trial Description

Modified Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Analysis Population: Defined as any infant that was enrolled and randomized in the study For the mITT analysis, infants will be analyzed in their assigned treatment arms irrespective of receipt of vaccine. Study outcomes will be included in the analysis as follows: i) Vaccinated group: study outcomes in the 48-hour monitoring after vaccination. If vaccination does not occur by 12 hours after randomization, then study outcomes will be assessed between 12 and 60 hours after randomization. ii) Unvaccinated group: study outcomes in the 48-hour monitoring period after randomization. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
