What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new pneumococcal vaccine with an added ingredient to see if it works better. It involves healthy people aged 50-64 who haven't had similar vaccines before. The new ingredient is supposed to help the body fight off infections more effectively. Participants will get one shot and be monitored for several months.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it mentions that participants should not have had certain vaccines recently, so it's best to discuss your medications with the study team.

What safety data exists for the new pneumococcal vaccine ingredient, possibly known as PF-07872411?

The safety of a new 24-valent pneumococcal vaccine was evaluated in a study with healthy adults aged 18 to 85, focusing on its safety and how well it was tolerated. Another study modified a pneumococcal vaccine strain to improve safety, showing that the changes made the vaccine safer without affecting its ability to protect against infections. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

How is the new pneumococcal vaccine treatment different from existing treatments?

The new pneumococcal vaccine treatment is unique because it uses a protein-based approach that targets multiple pneumococcal virulence factors, providing broad protection against various serotypes, including those not covered by current vaccines. It is administered intranasally, which helps induce strong mucosal immunity, offering a potentially more comprehensive defense against pneumococcal infections. ^{2 4 5 6 7}

What data supports the effectiveness of the treatment PF-07872411 for pneumococcal infections?

The research highlights the development of new pneumococcal vaccines that provide broad protection against various strains of the bacteria, which could imply potential effectiveness for treatments like PF-07872411. These vaccines have shown to induce strong immune responses and protect against multiple serotypes, suggesting that similar approaches could be effective for new treatments. ^{2 3 4 5 6}

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• PF-07872411

Trial Overview The study tests a new pneumococcal vaccine ingredient (PF-07872411) aimed at boosting its effectiveness against infections like meningitis and sepsis. Participants will receive different doses of this ingredient or a control vaccine, to assess safety and efficacy over about 12 months.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Low dose multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine formulation B Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Stage 2 - Participants will be randomized to receive a single injection.

Group II: Low dose multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine formulation A Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Stage 1 - Participants will be randomized to receive a single injection.

Group III: Standard dose multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine control Active Control 1 Intervention

Control - Stages 1 and 2 - Participants will be randomized to receive a single injection.

Group IV: Low dose of multivalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine control Active Control 1 Intervention

Primary control - Stages 1 and 2 - Participants will be randomized to receive a single injection.
