A PHASE 3, SINGLE-ARM TRIAL TO EVALUATE THE SAFETY AND IMMUNOGENICITY OF A 20-VALENT PNEUMOCOCCAL CONJUGATE VACCINE IN HEALTHY CHILDREN 15 MONTHS THROUGH 17 YEARS OF AGE

Percentage of Participants Reporting Prompted Systemic Events Within 7 Days After Vaccination: Cohort 1

时间窗: Within 7 days after vaccination on Day 1

Systemic events for Cohort 1 included fever, decreased appetite, drowsiness/increased sleep and irritability, recorded by parents/legal guardians of participant's using an e-diary. Fever was defined as temperature \>=38.0 degrees Celsius (C) and categorized as \>=38.0 to 38.4 degrees C, \>38.4 to 38.9 degrees C, \>38.9 to 40.0 degrees C and \>40.0-degrees C. Decreased appetite was graded as mild (decreased interest in eating), moderate (decreased oral intake) and severe (refusal to feed). Drowsiness was graded as mild (increased or prolonged sleeping bouts), moderate (slightly subdued, interfered with daily activity) and severe (disabling, not interested in usual daily activity). Irritability: graded as mild (easily consolable), moderate (required increased attention) and severe (inconsolable, crying could not be comforted). 95% CI was based on Clopper and Pearson method.

Geometric Mean Fold Rises (GMFRs) of Pneumococcal Serotype-Specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Concentrations for the 7 Additional Serotypes From Before to 1 Month After 20vPnC Vaccination: Cohort 1 and 2

时间窗: Before vaccination on Day 1 to 1 month after vaccination

Pneumococcal serotype-specific IgG concentrations were measured from serum samples for the 7 additional 20vPnC serotypes: 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F. GMFR = geometric mean of fold rise from before vaccination on Day 1 to 1 month after vaccination with 20vPnC. GMFRs and corresponding 2-sided 95% CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of fold rises and the corresponding 2-sided 95% CIs (based on Student's t distribution). Superiority of IgG concentration 1 month after 20vPnC to before vaccination for each serotype was demonstrated if the 95% lower CI of GMFR was \>1.

Percentage of Participants Reporting Prompted Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Vaccination

时间窗: Within 7 days after vaccination on Day 1

Local reactions included redness, swelling and, pain at the injection site, recorded by parent's/legal guardians of participants in an electronic diary (e-diary). Redness and swelling were measured and recorded in measuring device units. One measuring device unit =0.5 centimeter (cm). Redness and swelling were graded as mild: \> 0.0 to 2.0 cm, moderate: \>2.0 to 7.0 cm and severe: \>7.0 cm. Pain at the injection site was graded as mild: hurt if gently touched (cohort 1) and did not interfere with activity (cohort 2-4); moderate: hurt if gently touched with crying (cohort 1) and interfered with daily activity (cohort 2-4) and; severe: limited limb movement (cohort 1) and prevented daily activity (cohort 2-4). 95 percent (%) confidence interval (CI) was based on Clopper and Pearson method.

Percentage of Participants Reporting Prompted Systemic Events Within 7 Days After Vaccination: Cohorts 2, 3 and 4

时间窗: Within 7 days after vaccination on Day 1

Systemic events for Cohort 2-4 included fever, fatigue, headache, muscle pain and joint pain, recorded by parents/legal guardians of participant's using an e-diary. Fever was defined as temperature \>=38.0 degrees C and categorized as \>=38.0 to 38.4 degrees C, \>38.4 to 38.9 degrees C, \>38.9 to 40.0 degrees C and \>40.0 degrees C. Fatigue, headache, muscle pain and joint pain were graded as mild (no interference with activity), moderate (some interference with activity) and severe (prevents daily routine activity). 95% CI was based on Clopper and Pearson method.

Percentage of Participants Reporting Adverse Events (AEs) up to 1 Month After Vaccination

时间窗: From vaccination (on Day 1) up to 1 month after vaccination

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. 95% CI was based on the Clopper and Pearson method. Only AEs collected by non-systematic assessment (i.e. excluding local reactions and systemic events) were reported in this outcome measure.

Percentage of Participants Reporting Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) up to 6 Months After Vaccination

时间窗: From vaccination (on Day 1) up to 6 months after vaccination

An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that occurred, at any dose: resulted in death; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; was life-threatening; resulted in persistent or significant disability/ incapacity; was a congenital anomaly/birth defect and other important medical events. 95% CI was based on the Clopper and Pearson method.

Percentage of Participants Reporting Newly Diagnosed Chronic Medical Conditions (NDCMCs) up to 6 Months After Vaccination

时间窗: From vaccination (on Day 1) up to 6 months after vaccination

An NDCMC was defined as a disease or medical condition, not previously identified, that was expected to be persistent or was otherwise long-lasting in its effects. 95% CI was based on the Clopper and Pearson method.

GMFRs of Pneumococcal Serotype-Specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Titers for the 7 Additional Serotypes From Before to 1 Month After 20vPnC Vaccination: Cohort 3 and 4

时间窗: Before vaccination on Day 1 to 1 month after vaccination

Pneumococcal serotype-specific OPA titers were measured from serum samples for 7 the additional 20vPnC serotypes: 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F and 33F. GMFR = geometric mean of fold rise from before vaccination on Day 1 to 1 month after vaccination with 20vPnC. GMFRs and the corresponding 2-sided 95% CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of fold rises and the corresponding 2-sided 95% CIs (based on the Student's t distribution). Superiority of OPA titers 1 month after 20vPnC to before vaccination for each serotype was demonstrated if the 95% lower CI of the GMFR was \>1.
