New vaccine combo could simplify infant shots
NCT ID NCT06824181
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 study tests whether mixing a new 21-valent pneumococcal vaccine with a licensed 20-valent version is safe and helps build immunity in healthy infants. About 580 babies will receive different combinations of the vaccines at routine checkups. The goal is to see if flexible schedules work as well as the standard series.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 21-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV21) and 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevnar 20)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that mixing different pneumococcal vaccines is safe and effective, potentially offering more flexible vaccination schedules for infants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 3 trial, but results may not apply to all populations. The study is still ongoing, and the final outcomes on safety and immune response are not yet known.

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 42 to 89 days on the day of inclusion * Participants who are healthy as determined by medical evaluation including medical history and physical examination * Born at full term of pregnancy (≥ 37 weeks) and with a birth weight ≥ 2.5 kg or born after a gestation period above 28 (\> 28 weeks) through 36 weeks with a birth weight ≥ 1.5 kg, and in both cases medically stable as assessed by the investigator Exclusion Criteria: Participants are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply: * Known or suspected congenital or acquired immunodeficiency; or receipt of immunosuppressive therapy, such as anti-cancer chemotherapy or radiation therapy; or long-term systemic corticosteroid therapy * History of microbiologically confirmed Streptococcus pneumoniae infection or disease. * History of seizure or significant stable or progressive neurologic disorders such as inflammatory nervous system diseases, encephalopathy, cerebral palsy * Known systemic hypersensitivity to any of the study interventions components, or history of a life-threatening reaction to the study interventions used in the study or to a product containing any of the same substances * Thrombocytopenia, or known thrombocytopenia, as reported by the parent/legal acceptable representative (LAR), contraindicating intramuscular (IM) injection. * Bleeding disorder, or receipt of anticoagulants in the 3 weeks preceding inclusion, contraindicating IM injection * Chronic illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, is at a stage where it might interfere with study conduct or completion * Moderate or severe acute illness/infection (according to investigator judgment) or febrile illness (temperature ≥ 38.0°C \[≥ 100.4°F\]) on the day of study intervention administration. A prospective participant should not be included in the study until the condition has resolved or the febrile event has subsided. * Previous vaccination against Streptococcus pneumoniae * Receipt of immune globulins, blood or blood-derived products since birth * Participation at the time of study enrollment (or in the 6 weeks preceding the first study intervention administration) or planned participation during the present study period in another clinical study investigating a vaccine, drug, medical device, or medical procedure Note: The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a potential participation in a clinical trial.
