GroupInterventionDescription
V114V114Participants received 4 total doses of V114, administered at approximately 2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Anti-Pneumococcal Polysaccharides Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G ≥0.35 µg/mL30 days after vaccination 3 (Up to a total of ~5 months)

The percentage of participants with immunoglobulin G (IgG) threshold values of ≥0.35 µg/mL for the 15 serotypes contained in V114 (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F) at 30 days postdose 3 is reported. The multiplex, pneumococcal electrochemiluminescence (PnECL) v2.0 assay was used to quantify IgG serotype-specific antibodies.

Percentage of Participants With ≥1 Solicited Systemic Adverse EventsUp to 7 days after any vaccination, up to a total of ~ 13 months

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Following any of the doses of V114, the percentage of participants with solicited systemic AEs was assessed. The solicited systemic AEs consist of decreased appetite, irritability, somnolence, and urticaria.

Percentage of Participants With ≥1 Vaccine-related Serious Adverse EventsUp to approximately 14.5 months

A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that 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 another important medical event deemed such by medical or scientific judgment. The percentage of participants with a vaccine-related SAE following any dose of V114 was reported. Vaccine-related SAEs were counted starting after vaccine dose 1 through completion of study.

Percentage of Participants Discontinuing Study Therapy Due to an Adverse EventUp to approximately 13 months

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The percentage of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE is reported.

Percentage of Participants With ≥1 Solicited Injection-site Adverse EventsUp to 7 days after any vaccination, up to a total of ~ 13 months

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Following any of the doses of V114, the percentage of participants with solicited injection-site AEs was assessed. The solicited injection-site AEs consist of erythema, induration, pain, and swelling.

Geometric Mean Concentrations of Anti-Pneumococcal Polysaccharides Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G at 30 Days Postdose 330 days after vaccination 3 (Up to a total of ~5 months)

The anti-pneumococcal polysaccharides (PnPs) serotype-specific IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) at 30 days postdose 3 for each serotype-specific were reported. The multiplex, electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based PnECL v2.0 assay was used to quantify IgG serotype-specific antibodies.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Geometric Mean Concentrations of Anti-Pneumococcal Polysaccharides Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G at 30 Days Postdose 430 days after vaccination 4 (Up to a total of ~14 months)

The anti-PnPs serotype-specific IgG GMCs at 30 days postdose 4 for each serotype-specific were reported. The multiplex, ECL-based PnECL v2.0 assay was used.
