Revaccination With PNEUMOVAX™ 23 in Older Japanese Adults (V110-902)

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Pneumococcal Infection
Interventions
Biological: PNEUMOVAX™ 23
Registration Number
NCT02260882
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if revaccination with pneumococcal vaccine (PNEUMOVAX™ 23, V110) is well tolerated and produces an immune response in older Japanese adults. The primary hypothesis being tested is that the geometric mean concentration of antibodies to pneumococcal polysaccharide serotypes 3, 6B, and 23F at 4 weeks after revaccination will be superior to that before revaccination in Japanese adults who received a primary vaccination at least 5 years before revaccination.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Serotype-Specific Antibody Geometric Mean Concentration at 4 Weeks After RevaccinationBaseline and 4 weeks after revaccination

Serum antibodies to pneumococcal serotypes were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Geometric mean antibody concentrations (GMCs) were calculated at Baseline and 4 weeks postvaccination. Geometric Mean Fold Rise was the GMC at 4 weeks after vaccination minus the GMC at Baseline.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With an Adverse Event of Injection-site ErythemaUp to 5 days after vaccination

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to this medicinal product. Percentage of participants with an adverse event of injection-site erythema recorded on the Vaccine Report Card (VRC) during the first 5 days after vaccination was recorded.

Percentage of Participants With an Adverse Event of Injection-site PainUp to 5 days after vaccination

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to this medicinal product. Percentage of participants with an adverse event of injection-site pain recorded on the VRC during the first 5 days after vaccination was recorded.

Percentage of Participants With an Adverse Event of PyrexiaUp to 5 days after vaccination

Percentage of participants with an adverse event of pyrexia (\>=37.5°C, oral) recorded on the VRC during the first 5 days after vaccination was recorded.

Percentage of Participants With an Adverse Event of MyalgiaUp to 14 days after vaccination

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to this medicinal product. Percentage of participants with an adverse event of myalgia recorded on the VRC during the first 14 days after vaccination was recorded.

Percentage of Participants With an Adverse Event of ArthralgiaUp to 14 days after vaccination

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to this medicinal product. Percentage of participants with an adverse event of arthralgia recorded on the VRC during the first 14 days after vaccination was recorded.

Percentage of Participants With an Adverse Event of HeadacheUp to 14 days after vaccination

An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered related to this medicinal product. Percentage of participants with an adverse event of headache recorded on the VRC during the first 14 days after vaccination was recorded.
