Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with acute leukemia or lymphoma who have received at least one course of chemotherapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients currently receiving treatments that significantly alter the immune response or those with uncontrolled infections may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the immunogenicity of a combined pneumococcal vaccination strategy in patients with acute leukemia or lymphoma who are undergoing chemotherapy. The vaccination consists of a 13-valent conjugated pneumococcal vaccine followed by a 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine two months later. Given that these patients have compromised immune systems, the study aims to assess their response to the vaccination by measuring anti-pneumococcal immunoglobulin G titers and opsonophagocytic activity. The goal is to determine the effectiveness of this vaccination approach in reducing the risk of pneumococcal invasive diseases in this vulnerable population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the immune response to pneumococcal vaccination in immunocompromised patients, potentially reducing their risk of severe infections.
How similar studies have gone: While the efficacy of pneumococcal vaccination in this specific patient population is not well-documented, similar vaccination strategies have shown promise in other immunocompromised groups.
