A Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of V116 When Administered Concomitantly With Influenza Vaccine in Adults 50 Years of Age or Older (V116-005, STRIDE-5)

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Pneumonia, Pneumococcal
Interventions
Biological: QIV
Biological: Matching Placebo for V116
Registration Number
NCT05526716
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

This a study of V116 in adults ≥50 years of age who concomitantly received Influenza vaccine. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116 when administered concomitantly with Quadrivalent Influenza vaccine (QIV) compared with V116 administered sequentially with QIV. The primary hypotheses state that immune responses to V116 and to QIV are non-inferior when administered concomitantly as compared with sequential administration as measured by serotype-specific opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) and hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) geometric mean titers (GMTs) at 30 days postvaccination.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Solicited Injection-site Adverse Events (AEs)Up to 5 days post-vaccination

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Solicited injection-site AEs included erythema, pain, and swelling.

Number of Participants With Solicited Systemic AEsUp to 5 days post-vaccination

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. Solicited systemic AEs include fatigue, headache, myalgia, and pyrexia.

Percentage of Participants With Vaccine-related Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Up to ~6 months postvaccination with V116

A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, 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. SAEs that were reported to be at least possibly related by the investigator to study vaccination are summarized.

Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Serotype-specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Responses30 days after V116 vaccination (Day 30 for concomitant group and Day 59 for sequential group)

OPA for the serotypes in V116 were determined using a multiplexed opsonophagocytic assay (MOPA). Serotype-specific OPA GMTs (GMTs) (estimated) and GMT ratios with 95% CIs were calculated using a constrained longitudinal data analysis (cLDA) model utilizing data from both vaccination groups. Per the statistical analysis plan, the only CIs calculated were the between-group CIs (for the GMT ratios); within-group CIs were not calculated.

GMT of Influenza Strain-specific Hemagglutination Inhibition (HAI)Day 30

GMTs for the 4 strains contained in QIV vaccine were determined using an HAI assay.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
GMFR Ratio of Serotype-specific IgGBaseline (Day 1 for the concomitant group and Day 30 for the sequential group) and Postvaccination (Day 30 for the concomitant group and Day 59 for the sequential group)

GMFR ratios for the serotype-specific IgG in V116 were determined using a Pn ECL.

Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG)30 days after V116 vaccination (Day 30 for concomitant group and Day 59 for sequential group)

The GMCs of serotype-specific IgG for the serotypes contained in V116 were determined using a pneumococcal electrochemiluminescence (Pn ECL) assay.

Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) Ratio of Serotype-specific OPABaseline (Day 1 for the concomitant group and Day 30 for the sequential group) and Postvaccination (Day 30 for the concomitant group and Day 59 for the sequential group)

OPA for the serotypes in V116 were determined using a MOPA. GMFR ratio is defined as the geometric mean of the ratio of concentration at Day 30 after vaccination divided by concentration at baseline.

GMFR in Influenza Strain-specific HAIDay 1 (Baseline) and Day 30 (Postvaccination)

Activity for the 4 strains contained in QIV vaccine was determined using an HAI assay. GMFR is GMT 30 days after vaccination / GMT at Baseline.

Percentage of Participants Who Seroconvert for Influenza Strain-specific HAI Titer ≥1:40Day 30

The percentage of participants with seroconversion is presented. Activity for the 4 strains contained in QIV vaccine was determined using an HAI assay.
