Summary

This multi-center open label clinical trial aims to identify predictors of low antibody titers to vaccine antigens in children with ALL who completed chemotherapy in the prior 6 months, and to determine the immunogenicity and safety of diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-inactivated poliomyelitis-Haemophilus influenzae type b (DTaP-IPV-Hib) and 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) booster immunization administered 6 months post-chemotherapy, followed by 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination (PPV23) 2 months later. The results will support the development of clinical practice guidelines for this population.

Eligibility Criteria

Cases with ALL:

Inclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosed with standard, high-risk or very-high risk ALL
  • Age at diagnosis: ≥1 year of age (age at enrollment: ≥3 years)
  • Completed chemotherapy 3 to 12 months prior to enrollment
  • No evidence of ALL relapse or secondary malignancy
  • No known primary immunodeficiency
  • No receipt of pneumococcal or tetanus-containing vaccines since completing chemotherapy
  • No history of allergy to any component of PCV13
  • Caregiver and/or participant is English or French-speaking and able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

  • Infantile ALL
  • Evidence of disease relapse or secondary malignancy
  • History of underlying primary immunodeficiency
  • Transplant recipient
  • Received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) within past 9 months or other blood products within the prior 3 months.Children who received PPV23 within 12 months of enrollment will not be eligible to receive PCV13 or PPV23. These children can still participate in the baseline evaluation, receive DTaP-Hib-IPV vaccine, and have tetanus and pertussis serology measured at 2 and 12-15 months post-immunization.

Controls:

Inclusion criteria

  • Children 3-18 years of age, age-matched to cases
  • Caregiver and/or participant is English or French-speaking and able to provide written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

  • History of primary or secondary immunodeficiency including aplastic anemia, malignancy, nephrotic syndrome, malabsorption or severe malnutrition
  • Immunosuppressive therapy within 3 months of enrollment (excluding inhaled corticosteroids)
  • Received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) within past 9 months or other blood products within the prior 3 months.
