Vaccine efficacy can be assessed by measuring the levels of antibodies to the specific types (or serotypes) of bacteria covered by the vaccine. IgG antibodies for the 7 pneumococcal serotypes in 7vPnC (4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F) were assessed 30-50 days after the third dose of vaccine. Antibody levels were measured by standardized enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The minimum level of antibodies required to confer protection has been defined as 0.15 ug/ml by the Northern California Kaiser Permanente (NCKP) study, and as 0.35 ug/ml by the World Health Organization (WHO).

Frequently asked questions about 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine

What is the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine used for?

The 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is a vaccine developed for the prevention of pneumococcal infection and is also being studied in people with HIV infections. It is designed to stimulate immune responses against pneumococcal disease, and clinical research has evaluated its use in both healthy infants and HIV-infected adults.

Who makes the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine?

The 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is developed by Pfizer, Inc., which trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker PFE. Pfizer is the company associated with the clinical development program for this vaccine across its studied indications.

What phase is the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in?

The 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is in Phase 2 clinical development. It is an investigational vaccine and is not approved. Its clinical program includes completed Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 studies, with the Phase 2 stage reflecting the highest phase reached for the HIV infections indication.

What clinical trials is the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in?

Three completed trials are associated with the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine: NCT00488826, a Phase 1 study in healthy infants; NCT00148824, a Phase 2 study of antibody responses among HIV-infected adults in France; and NCT01692886, a Phase 3 study of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in healthy infants in China.

Is the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine the same as 7vPnC?

Yes. The 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is also known as 7vPnC, short for 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. Other common forms of the name include 7 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and 7-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine, all referring to the same vaccine.

How many patients have been enrolled in trials of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine?

Across its clinical program, 2,474 participants have been enrolled in trials of the 7-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine. The studies were randomized, and enrollment included healthy infants as well as HIV-infected adults, with the largest single trial enrolling 1,674 participants.
