Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116 compared to PPSV23 in children 2 through 17 years of age. Researchers want to learn if V116 is as good as, or is better than the PPSV23 vaccine in terms of the antibody immune response. V116 and PPSV23 will be studied in children and teenagers who have a higher risk of getting invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD).
The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the pneumococcal 21 valent conjugate vaccine (V116), and to evaluate the serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) post-vaccination with V116 and PCV15 (a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine that includes 15 serotypes) + PPSV23 (comprised of the polysaccharides from 23 of the serotypes causing disease in adults) post-vaccination. within each vaccination group separately.
This is a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, active comparator-controlled study of the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116 compared to PCV20 (pneumococcal 20-valent conjugate vaccine ([Prevnar 20™ / APEXXNAR™]) in pneumococcal vaccine-naïve adults. It is hypothesized that V116 is noninferior to PCV20 for the common serotypes and superior to PCV20 for the unique serotypes as assessed by serotype specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) 30 days postvaccination. It is also hypothesized that V116 in participants 18 to 49 years of age immunobridges to V116 in participants 50 to 64 years of age as assessed by serotype specific OPA geometric mean titers (GMTs) 30 days postvaccination for all 21 serotypes in V116. Participants ≥50 years of age will be enrolled in Cohort 1, and participants 18 to 49 years of age will be enrolled in Cohort 2.
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.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of a polyvalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (V116) with that of PNEUMOVAX™23 in healthy Japanese adults.
Multiple myeloma is an incurable blood cancer of plasma cells that occurs in older individuals. Novel agents (proteasome inhibitors, immunomodulatory agents) have substantially improved the overall response rates, progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with multiple myeloma. Patients with multiple myeloma are at high risk of developing life-threatening Streptococcus pneumoniae infections, while clinical efficacy and safety of conjugate pneumococcal vaccines in multiple myeloma patients receiving novel agents have not been studied before. The main aim of this study is to assess the clinical efficacy and safety of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in multiple myeloma patients treated with novel agents.

Before the introduction of pneumonia vaccines in 2000, between 700,000 - 1 million children died each year as a result of infection with the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae and the resulting diseases, namely, meningitis, sepsis and pneumonia. Most of the deaths were in Africa and Asia. Where the vaccines have been introduced, they have been highly effective and have already reduced disease. However, at 10 USD per child, they are not affordable to most low-income countries without financial support from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This project aims to assess whether lower doses of the two commercially available pneumonia vaccines can protect Kenyan infants as well as the full dose. The results could be used to increase the affordability of the pneumonia vaccine, and enable delivery of the vaccine to continue in the absence of Gavi support.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of LBVE (Multivalent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine) in healthy infants.
Routine childhood immunization (RCI) in Pakistan is well below the recommended coverage of 90% with rates as low as 16% in certain regions (Pakistan DHS 2012-3). This has led to continued polio transmission, large measles outbreaks and thousands of deaths from vaccine-preventable diseases (Kazi.Bull WHO 2016). Mobile phone communication is widespread in developing countries and has proven a potential method of directly connecting pregnant women and mothers to health services (Kharbanda. Expert Review of Vaccine 2014). The investigators propose conducting a mixed methods proof of concept cluster randomized trial (CRT) to assess the effectiveness of different types of SMS messaging and automated calls to improve RCI and understand the perceptions and barriers that may affect SMS and automated call-based interventions at participants levels. the investigators will conduct the study at urban and rural sites in Pakistan. The investigators will examine an important public health question - do low cost, automated SMS, and automated messages improve RCI coverage in resource-constrained settings? Further, investigators will compare the effectiveness of reminder, educational and interactive text messages for improving RCI and will generate socio-cultural data regarding the impact of participants health beliefs that will be important for setting up the appropriate interventions in other LMICs.
