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.

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

Clostridoides 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 does not work. 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 clinic 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.

A Vaccine (CMV-MVA Triplex Vaccine) for the Enhancement of CMV-Specific Immunity and the Prevention of CMV Viremia in Patients Undergoing Haploidentical Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

Accelerated Phase Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, BCR-ABL1 Positive · Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia · Acute Myeloid Leukemia

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and how well cytomegalovirus (CMV)-modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) Triplex vaccine works in enhancing CMV-specific immunity and preventing CMV viremia in patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplant. Haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haploHCT) has advanced to become the predominant procedure for patients lacking a matched donor. Compared to matched related donor transplants, the rate of significant CMV infection is higher in patients undergoing a haploHCT. Significant CMV infection is associated with an increased risk of complications and death. Vaccination is the main preventative approach to limit complications and death in immunocompromised patients at high risk of post-stem cell transplant infections. CMV-MVA Triplex vaccine, is a CMV vaccine based on the attenuated poxvirus, modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA), developed to enhance CMV-specific immunity in both healthy stem cell transplant donors and stem cell transplant patients to prevent significant CMV infection post-stem cell transplant. Giving CMV-MVA triplex vaccine may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in enhancing cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific immunity and preventing CMV viremia in patients undergoing a haploHCT.
