Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to assess the prevalence of five treatable STIs among Gambian women aged 15-69, using archived specimens from a previous clinical trial.
- Out of 420 women tested, 9.8% were positive for at least one STI, with T. vaginalis being the most common, and very few cases of C. trachomatis and other STIs.
- The findings highlight a significant STI issue in The Gambia, indicating the need for better monitoring systems for public health.
Background: An affordable pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) is needed to ensure sustainable access in low-income and middle-income countries. This trial examined the immunogenicity and safety of a novel ten-valent PCV (SIIPL-PCV) containing serotypes 1, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 19A, 19F, and 23F compared with the pneumococcal polysaccharide protein D-conjugate vaccine (PHiD-CV; Synflorix; GlaxoSmithKline; Brentford, UK).
Methods: In this single-centre, randomised, double-blind, phase 3, non-inferiority trial in The Gambia, healthy, PCV-naive infants aged 6-8 weeks were enrolled and assigned using permuted block randomisation to receive one of three lots of SIIPL-PCV or to PHiD-CV in a ratio of 2:2:2:3.
