Brief Summary

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

Pneumococcal infection is a leading cause of death throughout the world and a major cause of pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis, and otitis media.

It has been established that purified pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides induce antibody production and such antibody is effective in preventing pneumococcal disease. Clinical studies have demonstrated the immunogenicity of each of the 23 capsular types when tested in polyvalent vaccines. Studies of 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine in children of two years old and older and in adults of all ages have showed immunogenic response. In order to provide more evidence for the immunogenicity and the safety of the vaccine, a phase III clinical trial is planed to conduct.

Detailed Description

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

Pneumonia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Pneumonia is predominantly bacterial in origin: isolation rates of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae were 34% and 40%, respectively, in a series of lung aspirates collected from children under 5 years of age (Shann et al., 1984).

Pneumococcal infection is a leading cause of death throughout the world and a major cause of pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis, and otitis media.

Strains of drug-resistant S. pneumoniae have become increasingly common in China and in other parts of the world. In some areas as many as 35% of pneumococcal isolates have been reported to be resistant to penicillin. Many penicillin-resistant pneumococci are also resistant to other antimicrobial drugs (e.g., erythromycin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and extended-spectrum cephalosporins), therefore the importance of vaccine prophylaxis should be emphasized against pneumococcal disease.

Epidemiology Pneumococcal infection causes approximately125,000 deaths annually in China. At least 2,500,000 cases of pneumococcal pneumonia are estimated to occur annually in the United States; S. pneumoniae accounts for approximately 25-35% of cases of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia in persons who require hospitalization.

Despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy and intensive medical care, the overall case-fatality rate for pneumococcal bacteremia is 15-20% among adults, and among elderly patients this rate is approximately 30-40%. An overall case-fatality rate of 36% was documented for adult inner-city residents who were hospitalized for pneumococcal bacteremia.

Invasive pneumococcal disease (e.g., bacteremia or meningitis) and pneumonia cause high morbidity and mortality in spite of effective antimicrobial control by antibiotics. These effects of pneumococcal disease appear due to irreversible physiologic damage caused by the bacteria during the first 5 days following onset of illness, and occur regardless of antimicrobial therapy. Vaccination offers an effective mean of further reducing the mortality and morbidity of this disease.

Risk Factors In addition to the very young and persons 65 years of age or older, patients with certain chronic conditions are at increased risk of developing pneumococcal infection and severe pneumococcal illness.

Patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases (e.g., congestive heart failure or cardiomyopathy), chronic pulmonary diseases (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or emphysema), or chronic liver diseases (e.g., cirrhosis), diabetes mellitus, alcoholism or asthma (when it occurs with chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or long-term use of systemic corticosteroids) have an increased risk of pneumococcal disease. In adults, this population is generally immunocompetent.

Patients at high risk are those who have a decreased responsiveness to polysaccharide antigen or an increased rate of decline in serum antibody concentration as a result of: immunosuppressive conditions (congenital immunodeficiency, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, Hodgkin's disease, or generalized malignancy); organ or bone marrow transplantation; therapy with alkylating agents, antimetabolites, or systemic corticosteroids; chronic renal failure or nephrotic syndrome.

Patients at the highest risk of pneumococcal infection are those with functional or anatomic asplenia (e.g., sickle cell disease or splenectomy), because this condition leads to reduced clearance of encapsulated bacteria from the bloodstream. Children who have sickle cell disease or have had a splenectomy are at increased risk of outbreak pneumococcal sepsis associated with high mortality.

Immunogenicity It has been established that purified pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides induce antibody production and that such antibody is effective in preventing pneumococcal disease. Clinical studies have demonstrated the immunogenicity of each of the 23 capsular types when tested in polyvalent vaccines.

Studies of 23-valent pneumococcal vaccines in children of two years old and older and in adults of all ages have showed immunogenic responses. Protective capsular type-specific antibody levels generally develop in the third week following vaccination.
