Study Evaluating Safety and Immunogenicity of 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine With Influenza Vaccine in Adults

The 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnC) is being developed for adults to prevent pneumococcal diseases such as meningitis (inflammation of the brain lining), septicemia (blood poisoning), and pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs). As trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV) is frequently given to adults, it is important to show that both vaccines can safely be given together without affecting the immune response (body's ability to protect against disease).

Treatment and study plan

13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine

Biological

Single 0.5 milliliter (mL) 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnC) and a single 0.5 mL trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV), administered intramuscularly (IM), followed by a single 0.5 mL vaccine 13vPnC placebo, 1 month later.

13vPnC + TIV

Biological

Single 0.5 mL 13vPnC placebo vaccine and a single 0.5 mL TIV, administered IM, followed by a single 0.5 mL 13vPnC vaccine, 1 month later.

Primary outcomes

  1. TIV Comparisons: Percentage of Participants Achieving at Least a 4-fold Increase in the Titer of the Standard Hemagglutination Inhibition Assay (HAI)

    Time frame: Baseline and 1 month after TIV vaccination

    Percentage of participants achieving at least a 4-fold increase in the titer of the standard HAI for each influenza virus subtype (A/H1N1, A/H3N2, and B) were compared.

  2. 13vPnC Comparisons: Serotype-specific Pneumococcal Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC)

    Time frame: 1 month after 13vPnC vaccination

    IgG GMC as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and expressed in micrograms per mL (mcg/mL) for serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F and 23F.

Other outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants With Pre-specified Local Reactions

    Time frame: Days 1 through 14 after 13vPnC vaccination

    Local reactions were reported using an electronic diary. Pain was scaled as Any; Mild (awareness but easily tolerated); Moderate (discomfort enough to interfere with usual activity) and Severe (incapacitating the usual activity). Redness and swelling were scaled as Any; Mild (2.5 cm to 5.0 cm); Moderate (5.1 to 10.0 cm)and Severe (> 10.0 cm). Limitation in arm movement were scaled as Any; Mild (some limitation); Moderate (unable to move above head but able to move above shoulder) and Severe (unable to move above shoulder).

  2. Percentage of Participants With Pre-specified Systemic Events

    Time frame: Days 1 through 14 after 13vPnC vaccination

    Systemic events (Any fever >= 38 degrees Celsius [C]), fatigue, headache, chills, rash, vomiting, decreased appetite, new muscle pain, any aggravated muscle pain, new joint pain or any aggravated joint pain. Participants may be presented in more than one category.
