New pneumococcal vaccine in infants shows safety and how it stacks up against Prevnar 20
Official title: A PHASE 3, RANDOMIZED, DOUBLE-BLIND TRIAL TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY, TOLERABILITY, AND IMMUNOGENICITY OF A MULTIVALENT PNEUMOCOCCAL CONJUGATE VACCINE IN HEALTHY INFANTS
Run by Pfizer · NCT07629440 · Data updated 2026-11-12
A new pneumococcal vaccine is being tested in healthy infants to see if it is as safe as Prevnar 20 and whether it triggers a similar or better immune response.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Healthy infants aged 2 months to 6 months who have not previously received any pneumococcal vaccine.
✕Probably not a fit
Infants with a history of severe vaccine reactions, major congenital or chronic conditions, or prior pneumococcal vaccination may not experience benefit from this vaccine.

What this trial studies
This Phase 3 interventional trial evaluates a novel pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in infants aged 2 months to 6 months. It compares safety and immune response to the current Prevnar 20 vaccine when given alongside routine childhood vaccines. Blood tests measure how well the vaccine stimulates antibodies against pneumococcal germs. The study also explores whether the new vaccine covers additional pneumococcal strains not included in the existing vaccine. Participants are assigned to groups based on age and receive the study vaccine under standard clinical supervision.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the new vaccine could offer comparable safety and potentially broader protection against pneumococcal disease.
How similar studies have gone: Prior pneumococcal vaccines have shown strong safety and immune responses; this study tests a new formulation for possible added protection.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * infants who are 2 months of age in Group 1. * infants who are 2 to 6 months of age in Groups 2 and 3. * Healthy infants determined by clinical assessment, including medical history and clinical judgment, to be eligible for the study. Exclusion Criteria: * History of severe adverse reaction associated with a vaccine and/or severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis). * Major known congenital malformation or serious chronic disorder. * Other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or investigational product administration or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the participant inappropriate for entry into this study. * Previous vaccination with any licensed or investigational pneumococcal vaccine, or planned receipt through study participation.
