Brief Summary

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of the pneumococcal 21 valent conjugate vaccine (V116), and to evaluate the serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) post-vaccination with V116 and PCV15 (a pneumococcal conjugate vaccine that includes 15 serotypes) + PPSV23 (comprised of the polysaccharides from 23 of the serotypes causing disease in adults) post-vaccination within each vaccination group separately.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Solicited Injection-site Adverse Events (AEs) From Day 1 Through Day 5 Post-vaccinationUp to 5 days following each vaccination

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants with solicited injection-site AEs was assessed following any vaccination. Solicited injection-site AEs consist of the following: pain/tenderness, redness/erythema, and swelling.

Participants With Solicited Systemic AEs From Day 1 Through Day 5 Post-vaccinationUp to 5 days following each vaccination

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The percentage of participants with solicited systemic AEs was assessed following any vaccination. Solicited systemic AEs consist of the following: fatigue (tiredness), headache, myalgia (muscle aches), and pyrexia (maximum temperature \>= 100.4 °F/38.0 °C).

Participants With Vaccine-related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) From Day 1 Through The Duration of Participation in The StudyUp to 194 days following Visit 2 (Day 1)

A vaccine-related SAE is any untoward medical consequence that results in death, is life-threatening, requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongs existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is another important medical event, which is determined by the investigator to be related to the vaccine. The percentage of participants with SAEs was assessed following any vaccination.

Serotype-specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for Pneumococcal Serotypes Contained in V11630 days following V116 [Day 30] for the V116 + Placebo group and 30 days following PPSV23 [Week 12] for the PCV15 + PPSV23 group.

The serotype specific OPA GMTs for the pneumococcal serotypes were determined using the multiplex opsonophagocytic assay (MOPA). The point estimate was calculated by exponentiating the estimates of the mean of the natural log values and within-group 95% CIs were obtained by exponentiating the CIs of the mean of the natural log values based on the t-distribution. The 13 common pneumococcal serotypes in both V116 and PCV15 + PPSV23 were as follows: 3, 6A, 7F, 8, 9N, 10A, 11A, 12F, 17F, 19A, 20A, 22F, and 33F. The 8 unique pneumococcal serotypes in V116 were as follows: 15A, 15C, 16F, 23A, 23B, 24F, 31, and 35B.
