Overview

Brief Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of two different lots of V114 in healthy infants 6 to 12 weeks (>=42 days to <=90 days) of age. The primary hypothesis of the study is that the proportion of participants receiving V114 who have serotype specific IgG >=0.35 mcg/mL for each of pneumococcal serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F at 1 month after Dose 3 is non-inferior to that for recipients of Prevnar 13™.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants Achieving the Serotype-specific Pneumococcal Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Antibody Threshold Value of ≥0.35 µg/mL for the 13 Common Serotypes in V114 and Prevnar 13™: 1 Month Post Vaccination 3

Time Frame: 1 month post vaccination 3 (Month 5)

Serotype-specific pneumococcal IgG antibody was measured using the Meso-Scale Discovery (MSD) Pneumococcal electrochemiluminescence assay (Pn ECL). The percentage of participants with serotype-specific IgG ≥0.35 µg/mL was summarized for each serotype.

Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued From the Study Due to an Adverse Event

Time Frame: Up to 1 month post Vaccination 4 (up to 14 months)

The percentage of participants who discontinued the study because of an AE (as defined above) was assessed.

Geometric Mean Concentration of Serotype-specific Pneumococcal IgG Antibody for the 13 Common Serotypes in V114 and Prevnar 13™ and the 2 Serotypes Unique to V114: 1 Month Post Vaccination 3

Time Frame: 1 month post Vaccination 3 (Month 5)

Serotype-specific pneumococcal IgG antibody will be assayed using the Meso-Scale Discovery (MSD) Pn electrochemiluminescence assay. The geometric mean concentration (GMC) of serotype-specific IgG will be assessed.

Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Injection-site Adverse Event

Time Frame: Up to 14 days post any vaccination

Injection-site AEs solicited on the Vaccine Report Card were redness, swelling, hard lump, and pain/tenderness. The percentage of participants with 1 or more solicited injection-site AEs was assessed.

Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Systemic Adverse Event

Time Frame: Up to 14 days post any vaccination

Systemic AEs solicited on the Vaccine Report Card were fever, irritability, drowsiness, hive/welts, and appetite loss. The percentage of participants with 1 or more solicited systemic AEs was assessed.

Percentage of Participants Who Experience at Least 1 Adverse Event

Time Frame: Up to 1 month post Vaccination 4 (up to 14 months)

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE. The percentage of participants with one or more AEs was assessed.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Geometric Mean Concentration of Serotype-specific Pneumococcal IgG Antibody for the 13 Common Serotypes in V114 and Prevnar and the 2 Serotypes Unique to V114: Pre-vaccination 4(Before Vaccination 4 (Month 10 to 13))
  • Geometric Mean Concentration of Serotype-specific Pneumococcal IgG Antibody for the 13 Common Serotypes in V114 and Prevnar and the 2 Serotypes Unique to V114: 1 Month Post Vaccination 4(1 month post vaccination 4 (Month 11-14))
