A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Reactogenicity & Immunogenicity of the GSK Biologicals Candidate Pneumococcal Vaccine Without or With Adjuvant, Administered at 2 Different Concentrations, in Healthy Elderly Subjects

ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2005

146 participants

Abstract

As the licensed Pneumovax 23™ vaccine is not always satisfactory in elderly subjects, the safety and the immune response of the new investigational pneumococcal protein vaccine is evaluated in healthy elderly population.

Enrollment: 146 participants.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 146 participants or records.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
