A plain-language summary of the goals, design and what participants do
This clinical trial is focused on studying the safety and immune response of a new vaccine candidate in healthy toddlers. The vaccine is designed to protect against Pneumococcal Infections, which are caused by bacteria that can lead to illnesses such as pneumonia, ear infections, and meningitis. The study involves a vaccine known as a Monovalent Pneumococcal Conjugate Candidate, which will be given in two doses to children aged 12 to 15 months who have already received a primary series of another vaccine called PCV10.
The purpose of the study is to observe how the children's bodies react to the new vaccine. This includes monitoring for any local reactions like redness, swelling, or pain at the injection site, as well as systemic events such as fever, decreased appetite, increased sleepiness, or irritability. The study will also track any adverse events, which are unexpected medical problems that occur during the study, and serious adverse events, which are more severe health issues.
Additionally, the study will measure the levels of Immunoglobulin G (IgG), a type of antibody, and the opsonophagocytic activity (OPA), which is a measure of the vaccine's ability to help the immune system fight off the bacteria. The trial is expected to provide valuable information on the vaccine's safety and effectiveness in boosting the immune response in young children.
The trial runs in 6 steps – from screening to follow-up. Each step says what happens and what the team monitors.
