13vPnC Multidose Vial Safety, Tolerability and Immunogenicity Study in Healthy Infants.

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Pneumococcal Vaccines
Interventions
Biological: 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine
Registration Number
NCT01964716
Lead Sponsor
Pfizer
Brief Summary

This study will compare the immune responses of the infants who have been given 13vPnC in the mutidose vial formulation to the immune reponses of the infants who have been given 13vPnC in the single-dose syringe formulation.

It will also evaluate the safety of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnC) in all infants who are vaccinated.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Reporting Local Reaction Within 5 Days After Dose 2 in MDV and SDS GroupWithin 5 days after Dose 2 (Day 2 to Day 6) of the infant series

Local reactions were reported within 5 days (day 2 to day 6) using an electronic diary. Tenderness was scaled as Any (tenderness present); Mild (hurt if gently touched; Moderate (hurt if gently touched with crying); Severe (caused limitation of limb movement). Redness and swelling were scaled as Any (redness or swelling present); Mild (0.5 centimeters \[cm\] to 2.0 cm); Moderate (2.1 to 7.0 cm); Severe (greater than \[\>\] 7.0 cm). Participants may be represented in more than 1 category.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) in the Infant SeriesDose 1 up to 28 to 42 days after dose 3

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participants who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent are events between first dose of study drug and up to 28 to 42 days after last dose that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pretreatment state

Percentage of participants achieving predefined antibody threshold \>=0.35 mcg/mL along with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for the 13 pneumococcal serotypes (serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F and 23F) are presented. Exact 2-sided confidence interval (Clopper and Pearson) based on the observed proportion of participants. Here "n"= participants with valid and determinate IgG concentration to the given serotype.

Number of Participants Reporting Local Reaction Within 5 Days After Dose 1 in MDV and SDS GroupWithin 5 days after Dose 1(Day 2 to Day 6) of the infant series

Local reactions were reported within 5 days (day 2 to day 6) using an electronic diary. Tenderness was scaled as Any (tenderness present); Mild (hurt if gently touched; Moderate (hurt if gently touched with crying); Severe (caused limitation of limb movement). Redness and swelling were scaled as Any (redness or swelling present); Mild (0.5 centimeters \[cm\] to 2.0 cm); Moderate (2.1 to 7.0 cm); Severe (greater than \[\>\] 7.0 cm).
