In 2005, Wyeth conducted study 0887X-101518 (NCT00488826) in which Chinese infants received either Prevenar alone (Group 1), Prevenar given with a Diphtheria, Tetanus and acellular Pertussis (DTaP) vaccine (Group 2) or DTaP alone (Group 3). This follow up study (at least 3 years after the last vaccination) will assess the antibody concentrations in children who previously completed Wyeth study 0887X-101518.
The purpose of the study is to expand the understanding of the safety profile of 13vPnC in routine use following licensure and introduction of the vaccine.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of pneumonia, sepsis, bacteremia, and pneumococcal meningitis among infants and children worldwide. The 7-valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccine (Prevenar) has been introduced in the Greek Market in 2004. Additionally, as of 2006 Prevenar has been included in the Greek National Immunization Program. The effect of the mass vaccination on the incidence of pneumococcal serotypes involved in the occurring invasive pneumococcal disease, is an important factor to consider for the introduction of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine.
This is a follow-on, multi-centre, open-label, clinical trial. The purpose of this trial is to investigate the concentrations of serotype-specific antibodies to IgG included in PCV13 in children who have received either the PCV7 or PCV13 primary immunisation at 2, 4 and 12 months of age. We intend to recruit all interested participants who completed the Wyeth-sponsored PCV13 infant trial study (6096A1-007) at selected study sites (i.e. those that recruited the majority of the children in the original study). The study will start in March 2010, at which time the eldest participants in the 6096A1-007 study will be approximately 42 months of age. There will be two visits per participant, 1 month apart from each other. At visit one, all participants will have a blood test and receive a dose of PCV13. At visit 2, all participants will have a blood test and will be offered the remaining pre-school booster vaccinations unless they have already received them.
A study taking swabs from the back of the nose (nasopharynx) to look at carriage of pneumococci.
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of pneumonia, among infants and children in Japan and worldwideThis study plans to investigate the rate of invasive pneumococcal disease "IPD " and the rate of hospitalizations due to pneumonia in Okinawa and the Eastern half of Hokkaido Currently, only a limited information about pneumococcal disease burden is available in Japan.
This study is to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity and impact of 13-valent Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in Alaskan Native Children.
To determine the proportion of hospitalized pneumonia cases in children aged 60 months or less associated with vaccine-preventable Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes (4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F).
The purpose of this study is to estimate the local and systemic tolerability of Prevenar in children ages 2 to 5 years old in usual care settings.
