Study to Learn About Safety, Tolerability, and Immune Response of a Catch-up Pneumococcal Vaccine in Children and Adolescents

Pneumococcal Disease

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of a new pneumococcal vaccine and how the new pneumococcal vaccine helps to fight against germs that can cause pneumonia (lung infections), meningitis (brain infections), and otitis media (ear infections) in children when compared to the pneumococcal vaccine that is currently in use, 20vPnC (Prevnar 20®). This study will test if the new pneumococcal vaccine is as safe as the one that is currently in use. It will also assess how the new vaccine works in comparison to the one that is currently in use. To measure how the new pneumococcal vaccine compares to the current one, blood samples will be used to measure the body's ability to create proteins to fight those germs. This new vaccine can possibly provide additional protection against germs that cause pneumococcal disease that are not included in the vaccines that are currently given to children. Pneumococcal disease includes a variety of infections caused by a specific germ, Streptococcus pneumoniae This study is seeking participants who: * Are children aged 15 months to 18 years. * May or may not have received any doses of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) in the past. The study will be conducted in the United States, Puerto Rico, and other countries. Participants will be assigned to 1 of 3 groups based on age: Group 1: 15 months to less than 2 years (about 300 participants) Group 2: 2 years to less than 5 years (about 300 participants) Group 3: 5 years to less than 18 years (about 600 participants) Within each group, participants will be assigned by chance in a 2:1 ratio to receive 1 vaccine injection (shot) with either PG4 (new vaccine) or 20vPnC, given in the arm or thigh. This means that for every 3 participants, about 2 will receive PG4 and about 1 will receive 20vPnC. Each participant will take part in the study for approximately 6 months. During this time, each participant will visit a clinic 2 times (visit 1 for vaccination and visit 2 to follow up) and will be contacted via telephone once (for a 6 month follow up). At the study clinic visits, participants will have their blood drawn and be asked if they have experienced any side effects. A side effect is an unintentional or unexpected reaction to a vaccine. During the 6-month follow-up contact, participants will be asked about any further side effects.

A Study to Learn About a Clostridioides Difficile Vaccine in People 65 Years of Age and Older

Clostridioides Difficile Associated Disease

The purpose of the study is to learn about how effective, safe, and tolerable the Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) vaccine is in decreasing the number of C. difficile infections (pCDI) in adults 65 years of age or older. The participants will receive either the C. difficile vaccine or placebo (saline). A placebo does not contain any active ingredients. The vaccines will be given as a shot into the upper arm muscle. This study looks at the number of diarrhea (loose stools) events related to a C. difficile infection, so the length of the study can change. If these events happen quickly, the study may finish sooner; if they happen slowly, it could take longer. Sometimes, the study might stop early if the vaccine clearly works or clearly doesn't. Participants will stay in the study until enough events have occurred to answer the main question. On average, each person is expected to take part for up to about three and a half years. During this time, participants will have 3 planned clinical visits and 3 planned phone visits. After these visits, more scheduled clinic visits will happen every year until the end of study. Besides the scheduled study visits, if at any time during the study a participant has 3 or more loose stools in 24 hours, they will be asked to save the next one (the fourth or later) and contact the study site. The study site will check to see if it could be a C. difficile infection. This check may happen at the clinic or through a phone or video call.

Testing the Addition of an Individualized Vaccine to Durvalumab and Tremelimumab and Chemotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer

Anatomic Stage IV Breast Cancer AJCC v8 · Invasive Breast Carcinoma · Metastatic Triple-Negative Breast Carcinoma

This phase II trial studies how well nab-paclitaxel, durvalumab, and tremelimumab with or without personalized synthetic long peptide vaccine (neoantigen vaccine) works in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as nab-paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as durvalumab and tremelimumab, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Vaccines made from peptides may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving nab-paclitaxel, durvalumab, and tremelimumab with or without neoantigen vaccine will work better in treating patients with triple negative breast cancer.

Sleep and Adolescent Vaccine Immunogenicity Pilot/Observational Study

Vaccination

The main reason for this research study is to understand whether the sleep habits of 11-12 years-olds impact their response to a vaccine. The vaccine is called MCV4. It protects against meningococcal illness, which is rare but can be severe. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that the vaccine be given at age 11 or 12. The vaccine has been approved for youth in this age range for over 20 years and is one of the vaccines that primary care doctors typically give around this age. However, nobody has studied how sleep affects children's response to it. This could be important because research on adults suggests that sleep affects the immune system. We want to look at that issue in a younger age range. Participating families will be asked to have their child keep their regular sleep schedule during the 5-week study, without much variation. During that time, they will wear a special wristwatch at night to track their sleep. Each day they will fill out a short online form. They and a parent/guardian will come to Cincinnati Children's twice. Each visit will last 1 - 1 ½ hours. The first visit will happen at the end of the 1st week. The second is at the end of the 5th week. During visits, they will fill out forms and we will get data from the wristwatch. During the first visit, the participating child would get the vaccine. During the second, they will have a blood test.

A Study to Learn About How 20-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Works in a Real-world Setting

Pneumonia

The purpose of this study is to learn about how well the 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (20vPnC) works against radiologically-confirmed community-acquired pneumonia (RAD+CAP) due to the 7 new serotypes (types of a bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae that cause pneumonia) included in 20vPnC vaccine. This study is seeking participants who: * are male or female ≥65 years of age. * are hospitalized with physician suspicion of community acquired pneumonia (CAP). * have pneumonia confirmed with imaging like a chest x-ray Participants will be asked to provide demographic and medical history information, and to provide a urine sample that will be used to test for pneumonia caused by specific strains of a bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. We will compare the proportion of participants who have pneumonia caused by specific strains of the bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae and were previously vaccinated with 20vPnC with the proportion of participants who have pneumonia caused by something other than vaccine type Streptococcus pneumoniae and have been vaccinated with 20vPnC. Participants will actively take part in the study for about 1-2 days. Information on participant's illness and hospitalization details will be collected through day 30 of their hospitalization through medical chart review.

BZLF1 Peptide Vaccine (OSU-2131) With QS-21 for the Prevention of Epstein-Barr Virus Related Cancer in Patients Awaiting Solid Organ Transplants

Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage 4 · Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage 5 · EBV-Related Lymphoproliferative Disorder

This phase 1B trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of rh-Hsc70- BZLF1 peptide complex (OSU-2131) with Stimulon (Trademark) QS-21 and evaluates how well it works in preventing Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and related cancers in healthy volunteers and patients awaiting a solid organ transplant. Currently, patients who receive an organ transplant receive immune suppression therapy which can make it harder for the body to fight infections. This treatment also increases the risk for cancers that are triggered by the EBV. Vaccines made from synthetic peptide (RAKFKQLL) derived from the BZLF1 protein, may help the body build an effective immune response against EBV infections. QS-21, a saponin adjuvant, is a substance from plants that, when given with vaccine therapy, may improve the way the immune system responds to disease. Giving OSU-2131 with QS-21 may help the immune system fight EBV and protect against EBV infection and the cancers that it can cause in patients awaiting solid organ transplants.

A Study to Learn About How a New Pneumococcal Vaccine Works in Infants.

Pneumococcal Disease

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of a new pneumococcal vaccine and how the new pneumococcal vaccine helps to fight against germs that can cause pneumonia (lung infections), meningitis (brain infections), and otitis media (ear infections) in infants when compared to the pneumococcal vaccine that is currently in use, 20vPnC (Prevnar 20®). This study will test if the new pneumococcal vaccine is as safe as the one that is currently in use. It will also assess how the new vaccine works in comparison to the one that is currently in use when given with other childhood vaccines. To measure how the new pneumococcal vaccine compares to the current one, blood samples will be used to measure the body's ability to create proteins to fight those germs. This new vaccine can possibly provide additional protection against germs that cause pneumococcal disease that are not included in the vaccines that are currently given to infants. Pneumococcal disease includes a variety of infections caused by a specific germ, Streptococcus pneumoniae. There are three groups in this study. All participants will be assigned to one of the three groups. This study is seeking participants who are: * infants who are 2 months of age in Group 1; * infants who are 2 to 6 months of age in Groups 2 and 3; and * said to be healthy by the study doctor About 3000 infants will be assigned to Group 1. The infants in this group will have a 1 in 2 chance (50%) of receiving either PG4 (new vaccine) or 20vPnC (currently in use) into the left thigh muscle at 2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age. About 140 infants from outside the United States will be assigned to Group 2. The infants in this group will have a 1 in 2 chance (50%) of receiving either PG4 or 20vPnC into the left thigh muscle at 2 to 6, 3 to 8, 4 to 10, and 12 to 15 months of age. About 90 infants from outside the United States will be assigned to Group 3. The infants in Group 3 will have a 1 in 3 chance (33%) of receiving either PG4 into the left thigh muscle, PG4 under the skin of the left thigh, or 20vPnC into the left thigh muscle at 2 to 6, 3 to 8, 4 to 10, and 12 to 15 months of age. Infants in Group 1 will take part in this study for about 16 to 19 months (about 1 and a half years). Infants in Groups 2 and 3 will take part in this study for 12 to 21 months (about 1 to 1 and a half years). During this time, infants will have 6 study clinic visits and 1 phone call. At these study clinic visits, parent(s)/legal guardian(s) will be asked if the infant experienced any side effects. A side effect is an unintentional or unexpected reaction to a vaccine. Infants will have 3 blood samples collected.
