STRIDE-13 Trial Summary

This trial aims to compare the safety and effectiveness of the V116 vaccine to the PPSV23 vaccine in children and teenagers aged 2 to 17. The researchers want to see if V116

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and teenagers aged 2 to 17 who've finished their pneumococcal conjugate vaccine series. They must have stable chronic conditions like diabetes, liver, lung, heart, or kidney disease for at least three months.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares two vaccines: V116 and PPSV23. It aims to see if V116 triggers a better or equal immune response against pneumococcal infections in kids with higher risk of invasive disease.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the injection site (like pain and swelling), fever, fatigue, headache, chills or muscle pain. These are common after vaccination and usually mild.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Do I meet the necessary criteria to participate in this research trial?

"In order to qualify for participation in this medical trial, patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of pneumococcal disease and be within the age range of 2 to 17 years old. The study aims to enroll a total of 820 participants."

Answered by AI

In how many distinct locations is this investigation currently being conducted?

"Among the various locations recruiting patients for this trial, some include Tribe Clinical Research - Spartanburg (Site 0108) situated in Spartanburg, Velocity Clinical Research, Salt Lake City (Site 0124) located in West Jordan, and Tribe Clinical Research, LLC-Pediatrics (Site 0118) based in Greenville. There are also eight other sites participating as well."

Answered by AI

What is the upper limit of participants enrolled in this medical study?

"To successfully carry out this study, a total of 820 participants who meet the inclusion criteria are needed. Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC, acting as the sponsor, will oversee the trial across multiple sites. Some notable locations include Tribe Clinical Research - Spartanburg (Site 0108) situated in Spartanburg, South carolina and Velocity Clinical Research, Salt Lake City (Site 0124) located in West Jordan, Utah."

Answered by AI

Has V116 received official approval from the FDA?

"Based on being a Phase 3 trial, which signifies the presence of efficacy data and multiple rounds of safety data, our team at Power rates the safety of V116 as a 3."

Answered by AI

Is the clinical trial open to participants who are above the age of 70?

"This clinical trial is seeking participants within the age range of 2 to 17 years old."

Answered by AI

What are the main goals that this clinical trial aims to achieve?

"The primary outcome measure for this clinical trial is the percentage of participants experiencing vaccine-related serious adverse events (SAEs) within a 30-day period following vaccination. Secondary outcomes include determining the geometric mean fold rise (GMFR) in serotype-specific IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) using pneumococcal electrochemiluminescence (PnECL). Additionally, the study will assess the GMCs of serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) after vaccination utilizing PnECL and determine the percentage of participants with at least a four-fold increase from baseline in serotype-specific IgG GMCs"
