Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether people who are HIV-positive respond better to a vaccine for pneumonia-related disease when they are immunized immediately, or when immunization is delayed until the immune system has improved to a certain level. The study will also compare the effectiveness of polysaccharide and heptavalent vaccines.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A multicentre, randomized controlled trial using a two factorial design. Eighty patients will be randomly assigned to receive either Pneumovax (or Pneumo23 according to standard use at site) or heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevnar) prior to reconstitution of the immune system or will have immunization delayed until their CD4 count is greater than 200 cells/mm3 after the introduction of antiretroviral therapy. Randomization will be stratified by study centre. Variable block sizes will be used to try to prevent study personnel from guessing the next allocation. Random allocation lists will be generated by computer.
