Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: MenB+PCV GroupExperimental Treatment8 Interventions
Approximately 800 subjects enrolled in this group will receive rMenB+OMV NZ (Bexsero) concomitantly with PCV13 (Prev-nar13) and other RIV (Pediarix, Hiberix, Rotarix, M-M-R II, Varivax) at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months of age. Subjects who have received 3 PCV13 doses before 12 months of age but have not received their fourth booster dose will either receive PCV13 or PCV20 at 12 months of age (Visit 5).
Group II: Placebo+PCV GroupPlacebo Group8 Interventions
Approximately 400 subjects enrolled in this group will receive PCV13 concomitantly with placebo and other RIV at 2, 4, 6 and 12 months of age. Subjects who have received 3 PCV13 doses before 12 months of age but have not received their fourth booster dose will either receive PCV13 or PCV20 at 12 months of age (Visit 5).

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are geriatric patients accepted in this trial?

"This clinical trial is recruiting infants that are under 12 weeks old and have already surpassed the 6 week mark."

Answered by AI

What outcomes does this clinical trial hope to see?

"The primary outcome of this trial is to assess the percentage of subjects with unsolicited AEs at 1 month after the 3rd vaccination. Secondary outcomes include GMCs against 3 pertussis antigens and percentages of subjects with hSBA antibody titers ≥5 and ≥8 for each of the 4 selected meningococcal B strains. The trial will also measure hSBA Geometric Mean Ratios (GMR) of GMTs over pre-4th vaccination for the four selected meningococcal B strains."

Answered by AI

How many test subjects are included in this research?

"That is correct. The clinical trial in question, which was initially posted on 7/27/2018, is still recruiting patients. 30 different sites are looking to enroll a total of 1200 individuals."

Answered by AI

Are there any available positions for participants in this trial?

"That is correct. Active recruitment is taking place for this trial, which was originally posted on July 27th, 2018. The latest update to the posting occurred on November 2nd, 20212. They are looking for 1200 individuals across 30 sites."

Answered by AI

Does the research on Prevnar13 have a long history?
