ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00839254

Purpose

The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of GSK Biologicals' pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (GSK1024850A) in preventing invasive disease caused by S. pneumoniae or H. influenzae and in reducing occurrence of hospital-diagnosed pneumonia cases, tympanostomy tube placement and outpatient antimicrobial prescriptions in children starting vaccination below 18 months of age. These data will be collected from the national registers and will be analyzed in combination with data collected for subjects enrolled in a large scale cluster-randomized study 111442.

The study will also assess the immune response to the GSK1024850A vaccine and the impact of the vaccine on occurrence of acute otitis media, carriage, safety in children starting vaccination below 18 months of age.

Antimicrobial susceptibility of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae isolated from invasive disease. [ Time Frame: From the administration of the first vaccine dose up to study end. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Occurrence of H. influenzae, S. pneumoniae and/or other bacterial pathogens in the nasopharynx. [ Time Frame: Prior to the first vaccination, one month post-dose 1 and post-dose 2, before the booster dose, three months post-booster and at the last scheduled visit. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Acquisition of new H. influenzae and/or S. pneumoniae strains in the nasopharynx. [ Time Frame: Prior to the first vaccination, one month post-dose 1 and post-dose 2, before the booster dose, three months post-booster and at the last scheduled visit. ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Written informed consent obtained from parent(s) or from the guardian(s) of the subject.

Exclusion Criteria:

Use of any investigational or non-registered product (drug or vaccine) within 30 days preceding the first dose of study vaccine, or planned use of such a vaccine(s) other than the study vaccine(s) during the entire study period.
Previous vaccination with any registered, non-registered or investigational pneumococcal vaccine, or planned use of such a vaccine other than the study vaccine during the study period. If a child belongs to a high risk group for pneumococcal infections (such as children with an anatomic or functional asplenia, HIV infection, chronic cardiac or respiratory disease (not asthma), diabetes, cochlear implant, CSF fistula or with significant immunodeficiency) for which a licensed pneumococcal conjugate vaccine is made locally available, the subject can not be enrolled in the study and should be referred to the specific immunization program.
Previous vaccination against Hepatitis B virus with any registered, non-registered or investigational vaccine, or planned use of such a vaccine other than the study vaccine during the study period.
Previous vaccination against Hepatitis A virus with any registered, non-registered or investigational vaccine, or planned use of such a vaccine other than the study vaccine during the study period.
