Study Evaluating The Safety, Tolerability And Immunogenicity Of A 13-Valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (13vPnC)

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of study vaccines 13vPnC and 23vPS in older, healthy subjects who have previously received a dose of 23vPS at least 5 years ago. It will also evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity to a dose of 13vPnC 1 year after the initial dose of study vaccine.

Treatment and study plan

13 valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine

Biological

0.5-mL dose 13vPnC will be administered into the deltoid muscle at year 0 and year 1

23vPS

Biological

0.5-mL dose 23vPS will be administered into the deltoid muscle at year 0 and 0.5-mL dose 13vPnC will be administered into the deltoid muscle at year 1

Primary outcomes

  1. Pneumococcal OPA Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for the 12 Common Serotypes for 13vPnC Relative to 23vPS (Vax 1 / Year 0)

    Time frame: 1 month after Vax 1 / Year 0

    Antibody geometric mean titers as measured by opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) assays for the 12 common serotypes (serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F). Confidence intervals (CI) for the GMTs are back transformations of a CI based on the Student t distribution for the mean logarithm of the titers.

  2. Percentage of Participants Achieving a ≥ 4-fold Rise for Serotype 6A OPA Titer for 13vPnC Relative to 23vPS (Vax 1 / Year 0)

    Time frame: Baseline, 1 month after Vax 1 / Year 0

    OPA titer for the 6A serotype measured for at least a 4-fold increase from the prevaccination to postvaccination blood sample collection. Exact 2-sided CI (Clopper and Pearson) based upon the observed percentage of participants.
