Overview

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, single blind, randomized, active-controlled, phase-IV study to evaluate immunogenicity and safety of Pneubevax-14, administered as a single dose to children aged ≥5 years to <10 years (younger children), ≥10 years to <18 years (older children), and adults aged ≥18 years to <50 years and to elderly population (≥50 years and above).

Healthy children aged ≥5 to <10 years who are not previously vaccinated or those with incomplete infant series with Pneumococcal vaccines are eligible.

Healthy children aged from ≥10 to <18 years (older children) and adults aged ≥18 years and above are eligible if they had never received a dose of pneumococcal vaccine.

The total sample size to be enrolled would be 1200 healthy eligible subjects.

The study will be conducted in compliance with GSR 227(E), ICH and Indian good clinical practice guidelines in force at the time of study conduct.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes
