Brief Summary

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

In the treatment of pneumococcal diseases, the common use of penicillin-based antimicrobial agents has led to drug resistance, which has become a global challenge. Therefore, disease prevention through vaccination is essential. The 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine, the first widely used vaccine, has limitations. Subsequent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccines have improved protection rates but increased cases of infections caused by non-vaccine serotype strains. Currently, vaccines available in China for pneumococcal disease prevention include the 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (approved only for adults) and the 13-valent conjugate vaccine. PCV24 expands serotype coverage and converts capsular polysaccharides into T-cell-dependent antigens by binding them to proteins, stimulating humoral immunity and the complement system to generate specific antibodies and immunological memory for disease prevention. This study aims to preliminarily investigate the safety and immunogenicity of PCV24 vaccination in Chinese adults.

Detailed Description

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

Streptococcus pneumoniae is a Gram-positive diplococcus, and its capsular polysaccharide is a key virulence factor. According to differences in the composition and structure of capsular polysaccharides, it can be divided into more than 90 serotypes, with varying viability and pathogenicity among different serotypes. As an important opportunistic pathogen, this bacterium can breach mucosal defense systems to cause invasive infections when host immunity declines, leading to diseases such as pneumonia, bacterial meningitis, bacteremia, sinusitis, and otitis media.

Antimicrobial agents commonly used in the treatment of pneumococcal diseases, such as penicillins, macrolides, and cephalosporins, have faced global challenges due to drug resistance, making vaccination essential for disease prevention. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified pneumococcal diseases as a top priority for vaccination. The early widely used 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine had limitations, while subsequent 7-valent, 10-valent, and 13-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccines improved protection rates but were associated with increased infections from non-vaccine serotype strains. Currently, only the 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine is approved for adult use in China. Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines convert capsular polysaccharides into T-cell-dependent antigens by binding them to proteins, thereby stimulating humoral immunity and the complement system to generate specific antibodies and immunological memory for disease prevention. This study aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a 24-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine in individuals aged 18 years and older.
