Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Pneumococcal Vaccine →

Pneumococcal Vaccine: 0.5 mL intramuscular dose containing polysaccharide conjugates for 20 pneumococcal serotypes (PCV20, Prevenar 20) vaccine will be administered intramuscularly in 1 dose in patients with ARDs and healthy controls.

Study summary

This clinical trial evaluates the immunogenicity (humoral and cellular) and safety of the 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV20) in children, adolescents, and young adults aged 2-25 years with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARDs). All participants will receive PCV20 according to prior vaccine history. Antibody titers, opsonophagocytic activity, cellular immune responses, and adverse events will be measured up to 6 months post-vaccination. Effects of immunosuppressive therapy and physical activity levels related vaccine response will also be assessed.
