Concurrent Versus Sequential Administration of Tdap and RSV Vaccines in Pregnancy
Concurrent Versus Sequential Administration of Tdap and RSV Vaccines in Pregnancy - A Pilot Feasibility Trial
Concurrent Versus Sequential Administration of Tdap and RSV Vaccines in Pregnancy (NCT07097012) is a Phase 4 interventional studying RSV and Tdap - Tetanus, Diphtheria and Acellular Pertussis Vaccination, sponsored by Canadian Immunization Research Network. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.
About This Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the RSV vaccine (protects against respiratory syncytial virus) and Tdap vaccine (protects against pertussis) are most effective in pregnant individuals when taken together at the same visit, or separately at different visits. This clinical trial will also learn about the safety and immune responses of these vaccines in pregnancy. The Main question: -Is it possible to run a successful trial that tests how safe and effective it is to give Tdap and RSV vaccines in pregnancy either at the same time or one after the other, at different visits? The Secondary question: -To determine how safe and how well the Tdap and RSV vaccines work when given in pregnancy either at the same time or one after the other, at different visits. The Exploratory (optional participation) questions: * To measure the levels of antibodies against whooping cough (pertussis) and RSV in mothers at 7 and 19 months after giving birth, depending on whether they got the vaccines at the same time or one after the other during pregnancy. * To measure whooping cough antibody levels in the babies at 2, 7, and 19 months of age, whose mothers who received the vaccines in pregnancy. * To measure the levels of RSV antibodies in the mothers' breast milk at 1 week, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 2 months after giving birth. Participants will be randomly assigned to Group 1 (vaccines given at the same time, same visit) or Group 2 (vaccines given one after the other, at different visits). There are 4 visits as part of the main study, and 6 additional visits as part of the optional study (exploratory questions). Visit 1-2: Blood collection and vaccines administered Visit 3-4: Blood work (cord blood sample collection from infant, after delivery, if possible) Visit 5-8: Breast milk collection Visit 8-10: Blood collection (infant blood collection only at Visit 8). Participants will be asked to keep a diary of symptoms throughout the study.
What Stage of Research Is This?
Phase 4 studies happen after a treatment has been approved by the FDA. They monitor long-term safety, real-world effectiveness, and any rare side effects that only emerge in larger populations over longer periods. Phase 4 results sometimes lead to label changes, additional warnings, or — rarely — withdrawal of approval.
This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.
Target enrollment of 60 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused RSV subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.
Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up?

Who can participate in NCT07097012?
Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.
How do I contact the trial site for NCT07097012?
Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.
Is participating in a clinical trial safe?
Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
