Scientific title
Study acronymProtecting adults against pneumococcal disease
Study objectivesTo assess the antibody response (absolute antibody concentration) to a 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (Pn23) after a 0, 1 or 2 dose priming immunisation with heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Pnc7).
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the Oxfordshire A Local Research Ethics Committee (LREC) on the 14th September 2006 (ref: 06/Q1604/121).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPneumococcal disease
InterventionInterventions used are the Heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevenar ®, Wyeth Vaccines) and 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (Pneumovax® II, Sanofi Pasteur MSD). Participants will be randomised to receive either:
1. Two doses of the 7-serotype vaccine (Prevenar®) followed by one dose of the 23-serotype vaccine (Pneumovax® II)
2. One dose of the 23-serotype vaccine (Pneumovax® II) followed by two doses of the 7-serotype vaccine (Prevenar®)
3. One dose of the 7-serotype vaccine (Prevenar®) followed by one dose of the 23-serotype vaccine (Pneumovax® II, followed by a further dose of the 7-serotype vaccine (Prevenar®)

All vaccines will be administered at 0, 6 and 12 months.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevenar ®), 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (Pneumovax® II)
Primary outcome measureAbsolute antibody concentration to Pn23 after a one or 2 dose priming immunisation with Pnc7.
Secondary outcome measures1. Characterisation and measurement of the B cell responses and assessment of memory induction following the three different immunisation regimes
2. Number and nature of any adverse events occurring during the study

5.1. Receipt of any immunosuppressive therapy
5.2. Receipt of immunostimulants
5.3. Congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy within the preceding 6 months or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy* (*prednisolone or equivalent for more than two consecutive weeks within the past 3 months)
6. Have a suspected or known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or HIV related disease
7. Have received blood, blood products and/or plasma derivatives or any parenteral immunoglobulin preparation in the past 3 months
8. Have a known bleeding diathesis, or any condition that may be associated with a prolonged bleeding time
9. Have any condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, might interfere with the evaluation of the study objectives
10. Participation in another clinical trial investigating a vaccine, a drug, a medical device, or a medical procedure
