Safety and Immunogenicity of V114 in Children Infected With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (V114-030/PNEU-WAY PED)

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Pneumococcal Infections
Interventions
Biological: V114
Biological: Prevnar 13™
Biological: PNEUMOVAX™23
Registration Number
NCT03921424
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

This is a study of V114 in children infected with HIV. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either V114 or Prevnar 13™ followed 8 weeks later by a single dose of PNEUMOVAX™23. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of V114 in children 6 to 17 years of age inclusive infected with HIV and to evaluate the anti-pneumococcal polysaccharide (PnPs) serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) at 30 days following vaccination with V114 or Prevnar 13™ by each vaccination group. There are no formal hypotheses.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With a Vaccine-related Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Following Vaccination 1 (V114 or Prevnar 13™) or Vaccination 2 (PNEUMOVAX™23) Through Completion of StudyThrough 6 Months after Vaccination 1 (Up to Day 194)

An SAE is an AE that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs an existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or is an other important medical event deemed such by medical or scientific judgment. The percentage of participants with a vaccine-related SAE following Vaccination 1 (with either V114 or Prevnar 13™) or Vaccination 2 (PNEUMOVAX™23) through completion of study participation was reported.

Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Systemic Adverse Event Following Vaccination With V114 or Prevnar 13™Through 14 Days after Vaccination 1 (Up to Day 14)

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Following Vaccination 1 with either V114 or Prevnar 13™, the percentage of participants with solicited systemic AEs was assessed. The solicited systemic AEs assessed were joint pain/arthralgia, tiredness/fatigue, headache, muscle pain/myalgia, and hives or welts/urticaria.

Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Injection-Site Adverse Event Following Vaccination With V114 or Prevnar 13™Through 14 Days after Vaccination 1 (Up to Day 14)

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Following Vaccination 1 with either V114 or Prevnar 13™, the percentage of participants with solicited injection-site AEs was assessed. The solicited injection-site AEs assessed were redness/erythema, hard lump/induration, tenderness/pain, and swelling.

Anti-PnPs Serotype-specific IgG Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) at 30 Days Following Vaccination With V114 or Prevnar 13™Day 30

The GMC of serotype-specific IgG for the serotypes contained in V114 (13 serotypes shared with Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes unique to V114) was determined using an electrochemiluminescence assay.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Systemic Adverse Event Following Vaccination With PNEUMOVAX™23Through 14 Days after Vaccination 2 (Up to Day 84)

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Following Vaccination 2 with PNEUMOVAX™23, the percentage of participants with solicited systemic AEs was assessed. The solicited systemic AEs assessed were joint pain/arthralgia, tiredness/fatigue, headache, muscle pain/myalgia, and hives or welts/urticaria.

Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Injection-Site Adverse Event Following Vaccination With PNEUMOVAX™23Through 14 Days after Vaccination 2 (Up to Day 84)

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Following Vaccination 2 with PNEUMOVAX™23 (PPV23), the percentage of participants with solicited injection-site AEs was assessed. The solicited injection-site AEs assessed were redness/erythema, hard lump/induration, tenderness/pain, and swelling.

Anti-PnPs Serotype-specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) at 30 Days Following Vaccination With V114 or Prevnar 13™Day 30

The GMT of serotype-specific OPA for the serotypes contained in V114 (13 serotypes shared with Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes unique to V114) was determined using a multiplexed opsonophagocytic assay.

Anti-PnPs Serotype-specific IgG GMCs at 30 Days Following Vaccination With PNEUMOVAX™23 (Week 12)Week 12

The GMC of serotype-specific IgG for the serotypes contained in V114 (13 serotypes shared with Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes unique to V114) was determined using an electrochemiluminescence assay.

Anti-PnPs Serotype-specific OPA GMTs at 30 Days Following Vaccination With PNEUMOVAX™23 (Week 12)Week 12

The GMT of serotype-specific OPA for the serotypes contained in V114 (13 serotypes shared with Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes unique to V114) was determined using a multiplexed opsonophagocytic assay.
