Official title

A Prospective, Randomized, Open-label Clinical Trial to Assess Apnea Following Administration of 13-valent Conjugate Pneumococcal Vaccine, Diphtheria Toxoid, Tetanus Toxoid, and Acellular Pertussis Vaccine, Inactivated Polio Vaccine, Hepatitis B Vaccine, and Haemophilus Influenzae Type B Vaccine in Preterm Infants

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

A prospective, randomized open-label clinical trial will be conducted from July 2018 to October 2020. Approximately 300 preterm infants will be enrolled across three sites: Duke University Medical Center, the University of North Carolina, and Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Eligible infants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either 2-month US licensed childhood vaccines (PCV13, DTaP, HBV, IPV an Hib) or no vaccines. After their participation in the study, healthcare providers of the infants in the unvaccinated group will make decision abut receipt of their 2-month childhood vaccines. The study will collect data from the continuous cardiorespiratory and pulse oximetry monitors from randomization to 48 hours after randomization for infants in the unvaccinated group, and from randomization to 48 hours after vaccination for infants in the vaccinated group. Infants in both groups will be monitored for up to 60 hours for the occurrence of apnea, bradycardia, and oxygen desaturation. For infants in the "vaccinated" group, the study will also collect adverse events of clinical interest and serious adverse events occurring between the end of the 48-hour monitoring period and 14 days after vaccination. This information will be collected through parental report and review of medical records.
