Abstract

Background

A 1+1 pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) schedule would increase its affordability for low and middle-income countries. The Vietnam Pneumococcal Trial II includes infants randomised to receive a 1+1 schedule of PCV10 or PCV13 at 2 and 12 months of age. This study measured the immunogenicity of a single dose of either PCV given at 2 months of age.

Methods

Serotype-specific IgG was measured at 3 and 12 months of age in PCV-vaccinated and unvaccinated controls using a WHO ELISA method.

Results

At 3 months, both vaccinated groups had higher antibody levels than controls for 7/10 serotypes (all except 6B, 14, 23F). The PCV10 group had higher antibody levels than the PCV13 group for 5/10 serotypes. Similar results were seen at 12 months, with higher antibody levels for all serotypes in the PCV10 group and 8/10 serotypes (all except 6V, 23F) in the PCV13 group compared with controls and higher antibody levels in the PCV10 than the PCV13 group for 7/10 serotypes.

Conclusions

A single dose of PCV in infancy is immunogenic and likely to provide some direct protection until the time of the booster dose. There may be a difference in the degree of protection offered by different PCVs.

STUDY PARTICIPANT WITHDRAWALS: LESSONS LEARNT FROM A VACCINE TRIAL IN INFANTS IN HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM (ID 1105)

Abstract

Background

Subject recruitment and retention are crucial factors contributing to the success of clinical trials. We describe the experience from a clinical trial of
pneumococcal conjugate vaccines currently underway in Ho Chi Minh City.

Methods

Subject recruitment and retention are crucial factors contributing to the success of clinical trials. We describe the experience from a clinical trial of
pneumococcal conjugate vaccines currently underway in Ho Chi Minh City.

Results

2,501 subjects were recruited at 2 months of age. To date 1,612 subjects have completed their final 24 month visit. The last 24 month visit is due in May 2020. We have a current withdrawal rate of 7.8%. The most common reason for withdrawal is moving outside the study area. Withdrawal rates and reasons by study group will be presented at the conference

Conclusions

Recruiting subjects who intend to remain in the study area is a challenge for clinical trials involving follow up of children over a number of years. Involving staff from subjects' local health clinics helps to keep the withdrawal rate down.
