Filter by:The goal of this interventional clinical trial is to investigate the impact of medicine and pharmacy-led education on patient acceptance rates of Prevnar 20 pneumonia vaccination in patients eligible to receive the vaccine. The education intervention and subsequent option to get the vaccine will be done while the patient is admitted to inpatient care, prior to discharge. The main questions the study aims to answer are: - Will supplemental education about the Prevnar 20 Pneumococcal vaccine influence patient acceptance rates when given a decision to receive it? - Is there any other statistically relevant qualitative reasoning behind the patient's final decision for accepting or refusing the vaccine?
Streptococcus pneumoniae is a gram-positive (GP) bacteria responsible for common infections such as community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), as well as complicated infections such as bacteremia, infective endocarditis and meningitis. S. pneumoniae bacteremia ranks among the top 10 most common pathogens associated with bloodstream infections and correlates with high morbidity and mortality worldwide.
This study is a phase III clinical trial to evaluate the immunogenicity and safety of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (multivalent conjugate) in infants aged 2 months (at least 6 weeks) and 3 months. The main objectives of the study include: 1. To evaluate the immunogenicity of the trial vaccine in infants aged 2 months (at least 6 weeks) following the corresponding immunization schedule compared to the control vaccine; 2. To evaluate the immunogenicity of the trial vaccine in infants aged 3 months following the corresponding immunization schedule compared to the 2-month group; 3. To evaluate the safety of the trial vaccine in infants aged 2 months (at least 6 weeks) and 3 months following the corresponding immunization schedule.
The 'Experimental Human Pneumococcal challenge' (EHPC) model is a way of putting drops of bacteria into the nose. Investigators have studied this model of putting bacteria in the nose safely in over 1500 volunteers over the past decade with no serious side effects and now want to test the model using a different strain of the bacteria that is commonly found in the community, SPN3. The aim of this study is to determine how much pneumococcus is needed to achieve nasal colonisation and how long the bacteria live in the nose for before natural immune responses eradicate them. By doing this, Investigators will then be able to test how well future vaccines prevent colonisation with pneumococcus. Investigators want to learn more about how the immune system responds to nasal colonisation with pneumococcus, again to help with development of new vaccines.
The purpose of this research is to conduct a multi-center prospective surveillance study focusing upon pneumococcal carriage and serotype epidemiology in patients with otitis media (OM).The data generated will be crucial especially as baseline data for future assessments on the long-term impacts of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine 10 (PCV10) coverage, compared to that of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine 13 (PCV13) that is being used in the majority of other countries. Pneumococcal carriage in patients with OM and serotype distribution will be assessed, including changes in antibiotic resistance. With the establishment of sentinel surveillance in the country, we hope to provide detailed data on the epidemiology of OM in Malaysia; working towards the development of a national surveillance programme for the monitoring of OM burden in the country.
This is a Phase 2 clinical study to support the use of AFX3772 in healthy infants for the prevention of pneumococcal disease. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 3 different dose levels of AFX3772 compared with PCV13. Infants approximately 2 months of age will be enrolled and receive 4 doses of study vaccine over 8 protocol-defined visits spanning a duration of approximately 18 to 21 months. Part 1 is the dose escalation, lead-in portion of the study in which infants at each dose level will be randomized 3:1 in sequential cohorts of increasing doses of AFX3772 or PCV13. Enrollment in Cohorts 2 and 3 will proceed following Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) review of cumulative safety and tolerability data from preceding cohorts. Following completion of DMC review of safety and tolerability data for the cohorts enrolled in Part 1, additional infants will be enrolled and randomized equally to receive either PCV13 or AFX3772 at different dose levels approved for evaluation in Part 2.
This phase II trial tests whether the pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine series (PCV20 and PPSV23) works to mount an effective immune response in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. PCV20 and PPSV23 are both vaccines that protect against bacteria that cause pneumococcal disease. Giving these vaccinations as series may make a stronger immune response and prevent against pneumococcal infections in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
In France, Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading agent bacterial involved in community lung disease and meningitis. The frequency of these infections and their mortality increase significantly in those at risk such as patients with certain chronic diseases, immunocompromised or on immunosuppressive therapy. This population, despite regular monitoring, has a limited pneumococcal vaccine coverage of around 20%. By carrying out a reconciliation of treatments upon admission to hospital, the clinical pharmacist can detect those without up to date pneumococcal vaccination status. The goal of this management is to make the patient aware of the need for vaccination and organization upon return home. Thus, this limited pneumococcal vaccination coverage would benefit from intervention by regional clinical pharmacy activities. The study investigators want to study the impact of a structured medico-pharmaceutical collaboration on pneumococcal vaccination of patients with risk on discharge from hospital. The investigators hypothesize that this collaboration in patients at risk of infection with pneumococcus could significantly increase their anti-pneumococcal vaccination coverage
To determine the effect of PCV-13 and PPV-23 vaccination versus control on experimental pneumococcal colonisation of 2 clades of serotypes 3 and 6B at 1 month and 6 months post vaccination respectively, using the EHPC model.
The pandemic triggered by the new SARS-CoV-2 presents the German health system with previously unknown challenges. There are currently no effective therapies for the treatment of the SARS-CoV-2 lung disease Covid-19. The aim of the joint project PROVID is to draw conclusions from the often very different clinical appearance of infections with the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen in order to improve patient care through targeted clinical management. The effects of infections with the SARS-CoV-2 pathogen are wide-ranging and include a spectrum from symptomlessness to infections of the upper respiratory tract, uncomplicated but also severe pneumonia with lung failure and high mortality. PROVID will first check whether certain host factors determine the severity and / or the course of Covid-19. Research is also being carried out into whether the molecular and clinical values of Covid-19 patients differ from those of patients with pneumonia caused by other pathogens. In addition, it will be tested whether specific molecular markers describe the severity of the disease and are suitable as an aid for targeted therapy for Covid-19. PROVID is an interdisciplinary joint project made up of three sub-projects that are being implemented at three locations (Charitè-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Universität Leipzig IMISE and CAPNETZ STIFTUNG / Hannover). PROVID is based on three clinical research platforms with a high track record in recruiting patients with high-quality data and biomaterials on the one hand and guideline-changing results on the other hand: CAPNETZ (competence network CAP, since 2002, world's largest database and biobank for CAP), PROGRESS (Pneumonia Research Network on Genetic Resistance and Susceptibility for the Evolution of Severe Sepsis, since 2007) and CAPSyS (systems medicine of community-acquired pneumonia, since 2014). The COVID-19 patients are recruited into 3 different patient cohorts via these 3 research platforms. 1. PROVID-CAPNETZ, 2. PROVID-PROGRESS, 3. PROVID-CAPSyS.
