Biological: V114
Biological: PNEUMOVAX™23
Registration Number
NCT03480763
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

This study is designed 1) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V114 and Prevnar 13™, 2) to describe the safety of sequential administration of V114 or Prevnar 13™ followed by PNEUMOVAX™23, and 3) to evaluate the immune responses to the 15 serotypes contained in V114 when PNEUMOVAX™23 is given approximately 12 months after receipt of either V114 or Prevnar 13™ in healthy adults 50 years of age or older. There was no formal hypothesis testing.

Serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) geometric mean titers (GMTs) (estimated) and GMT ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a constrained longitudinal data analysis (cLDA) model utilizing data from both vaccination groups.
