Brief Summary

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

This clinical trial evaluates the immunogenicity (humoral and cellular) and safety of the 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20) in children, adolescents, and young adults aged 2-25 years with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs). All participants will receive PCV20 according to prior vaccine history. Antibody titers, opsonophagocytic activity, cellular immune responses, and adverse events will be measured up to 6 months post-vaccination. Effects of immunosuppressive therapy and physical activity levels related vaccine response will also be assessed.

Detailed Description

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

ARD patients are at higher risk of pneumococcal infections due to disease-related and therapy-induced immunosuppression. Despite vaccination recommendations, immunogenicity data for PCV20 in ARD pediatric populations are lacking. This prospective phase IV study will enroll 85 patients aged 2-25 years diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE), and juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). All will receive PCV20 per CDC guidance. Blood samples will be collected at baseline (D0), 4 weeks (D28), and 6 months (D180). The functional opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) for specific serotypes will be analyzed. Safety will be monitored through adverse event diaries, clinical evaluations, and disease activity indices. Physical activity will be evaluated by validated questionnaires and via accelerometry.
