NCT ID NCT07406334
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new pneumococcal vaccine booster in 45 toddlers aged 12-15 months who already received their routine pneumonia shots. The goal is to check for side effects like tenderness, fever, and sleepiness. The study compares the new vaccine to an existing one to see if it is safe enough for further testing.

A male or female between, and including, 12 to15 Months of age at the time of the study intervention administration. 4. Healthy participants or medically stable patients as established by medical history and clinical examination before entering the study. 5. To the best knowledge of the participant's parent(s)/LAR(s), the child has been eligible for pneumococcal vaccination and has completed a 2-dose primary series with PCV10. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of any reaction or hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study intervention(s). 2. Hypersensitivity to latex. 3. History of microbiologically proven Invasive pneumococcal Disease (IPD). 4. Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination. 5. Major congenital defects, as assessed by the investigator. 6. Recurrent history or uncontrolled neurological disorders or any neuroinflammatory condition, congenital neurological conditions, encephalopathies, or seizures. 7. Condition that in the judgment of the investigator would make intramuscular injection unsafe. 8. Any other clinical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might pose additional risk to the participant due to participation in the study. 9. Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug, vaccine, or invasive medical device) during the period beginning 30 days before the dose of study intervention(s), or their planned use during the trial period. 10. Previous vaccination with any pneumococcal vaccine other than PCV10. 11. Previous receipt of more than 2 pneumococcal vaccine doses (primary series or booster). 12. Planned administration/administration of any inactivated or otherwise non-live vaccine in the period starting 14 days before and ending 14 days after the dose of study intervention administration or planned administration/administration of any live vaccine in the period starting 28 days before and ending 28 days after the dose of study intervention administration, with the exception of inactivated influenza vaccine which may be administered but must be given at least 7 days before or 15 days after receipt of any study intervention. 13. Receipt of blood or plasma products or immunoglobulins, from 90 days before study intervention administration, or planned receipt up to 30 days of study intervention administration. 14. Chronic administration of immune-modifying drugs and/or planned use of long-acting immune-modifying treatments at any time up to the end of the study. * For corticosteroids: prednisone equivalent ≥0.5 mg/kg/day (maximum 20 mg/day) within 90 days prior for pediatric participants. * Inhaled and topical steroids are allowed. 15. Concurrent participation in another clinical study in which the participant has been or will be exposed to an investigational or non-investigational intervention. 16.
