Scientific titleInvestigating the clinical use of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevenar) in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: a multicentre non-randomised interventional treatment trial
Study acronymPCV (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine)
Study objectivesThe main aim of this study is to produce evidence on which to base a vaccination guideline that will reduce the incidence of pneumococcal infection in children with acute leukoblastic leukaemia (ALL). This will be achieved by examining the efficacy of 13 valent conjugate pneumococcal vaccination (13vPCV) immunisation in this population. Our hypothesis is that 13vPCV will be sufficiently immunogenic to generate protective anti-pneumococcal immunity in children with ALL whilst they are receiving maintenance therapy and are most at risk of infection. However, it is possible that vaccination of children during treatment will not be effective due to the immunosuppressive effects of chemotherapy. Therefore vaccination with 13vPCV will also be tested in children at the end of their treatment and 6 months after completion of treatment. The earliest of these time points at which 13vPCV is found to achieve protective immunity will be adopted as the final recommendation for all children with ALL, in order to provide protection for as long as possible during and after their leukaemia therapy.

The main study question is therefore to identify the earliest time point that children with ALL can be effectively vaccinated with 13vPCV. In order to answer this, the study primary objective is to establish if 13vPCV can achieve protective levels of anti-pneumococcal antibodies:
1. During maintenance therapy
2. At the end of chemotherapy treatment
3. Six months after completion of treatment
