24-valent pneumococcal vaccine test in infants, children, and adults
Official title: A Randomized, Blinded, Dose-Exploratory, Positive-Control Clinical Trial Evaluating the Safety and Immunogenicity of the 24-Valent Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine (CRM197/Tetanus Toxoid) Following Administration in Individuals Aged 2 Months (Minimum 6 Weeks) and Older
Run by CanSino Biologics Inc. · NCT07600983 · Data updated 2026-11-12

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are individuals aged 2 months and older who have not recently received a pneumococcal vaccine and can provide informed consent (or guardian consent for minors).
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who recently received a pneumonia vaccine or have contraindications to vaccination may not derive direct benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a two-phase trial evaluating the safety and immune response to the 24-valent pneumococcal vaccine (CRM197/tetanus toxoid). Phase I uses dose-escalation and blinded designs across several age groups to compare different dose levels, with a positive-control for most cohorts. Phase II expands to older adults and younger infants with randomized, blinded, active-control comparisons to the vaccine doses. Primary outcomes focus on safety and immunogenicity, with multiple dosing arms (low, medium, high) and a control group. The study is sponsored by CanSino Biologics Inc. and sites are in China (Ningling and Xiangcheng counties).
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the vaccine could provide broad protection against multiple pneumococcal serotypes and reduce the risk of pneumococcal disease across age groups.
How similar studies have gone: Past studies of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines have shown favorable safety and immunogenicity, but this specific 24-valent formulation with CRM197/tetanus toxoid is exploratory in multiple age groups.
