Study Assessing the Effect of Medications to Prevent Fever on Prevenar 13®

Antibody geometric least squares (LS) mean concentrations (GMCs) for 13 pneumococcal serotypes (4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, 23F, 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F and 19A) are presented. GMC (13vPnC) and corresponding 2-sided 95 percent (%) confidence interval (CI) were evaluated. Geometric means (GMs) were calculated using all participants with available data for the specified blood draw. Here 'N' (number of participants analyzed) signifies those participants who were evaluable for this measure and 'n' signifies participants with a determinate IgG concentration to the given serotype for each arm, respectively.

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

Participants' core (rectal) temperature was collected for 4 days after each vaccination using an electronic diary. Participants' temperature was collected at 6 to 8 hours after vaccination, 6 to 8 hours following that and coincidentally with antipyretic administration for groups receiving antipyretics. Temperature was recorded at bedtime daily for 3 following days (Day 2 to Day 4) and at any time during the 3 days when fever was suspected. The highest temperature for each day was recorded in the e-diary. Incidences of fever were presented in following categories: >=38 but <=39 degree Celsius (degree C), greater than (>) 39 but <=40 degree C and >40 degree C.

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received vaccine without regard to possibility of causal relationship. SAE: an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial/prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Treatment-emergent events for infant series were events between infant series Dose 1 and up to 1 month (28 to 42 days) after infant series that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state. Reported non-SAEs included AEs other than SAEs collected using electronic diary (fever, systematic assessment) and events spontaneously collected on case report form at each visit (non-systematic assessment).
