Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Pneumonia
Interventions
Biological: Prevnar 13
Biological: 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
Registration Number
NCT02494999
Lead Sponsor
Jiangsu Province Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Brief Summary

In order to evaluate immunogenicity and safety of a 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine produced by Beijing Minhai Biotechnology Co., Ltd., a randomized, double-blind, parallel-controlled phase III clinical trial is planned to conduct in healthy infants aged 2 months in China.

Detailed Description

There will be two arms. 1200 healthy infants aged 2 months will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive an experimental vaccine or a comparator vaccine in Month 0,2 and 4 (primary vaccination). All of them will receive a fourth dose as booster vaccination in Month 10.

Exclusion Criteria for Second/Third and Booster Vaccination:

If one of the following (1) to (3) adverse events (AE) occurs, further vaccination is prohibited, but other study steps can be continued according to the judgment of the investigators; If one of the following (4) to (5) adverse events occurs, the investigator shall determine whether to continue the following vaccination. In the event of one of the following adverse events (6) to (7), vaccination may be postponed within the time window specified in the protocol.

  • (1)The subjects have suffered from severe adverse events caused by the previous vaccination.
  • (2)The subjects suffered from severe allergic reactions or hypersensitivity after the previous vaccination.
  • (3)Known or suspected autoimmune diseases or immunodeficiency diseases,including HIV infection.
  • (4)The occurrence of acute or emerging chronic diseases at the time of vaccination.
  • (5)Other reactions (including severe pain, severe swelling, severe restriction of movement, persistent high fever, severe headache, or other systemic or local reactions) judged by the investigators.
  • (6)Acute illness (acute illness refers to moderate or severe illness with or without fever) at the time of vaccination.
  • (7)The axillary temperature >37.0℃ at the time of vaccination.
