NCT ID NCT07754539
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial evaluates an experimental vaccine called 20vPnC, designed to protect against 20 types of pneumococcal bacteria. Healthy infants aged 42 to 98 days will receive either 20vPnC or the approved 13vPnC vaccine at 2, 4, 6, and 12-15 months. The study aims to compare safety and immune responses between the two vaccines.
