Trial To Evaluate The Safety, Tolerability, And Immunogenicity Of A Multivalent Group B Streptococcus Vaccine In Healthy Nonpregnant Women And Pregnant Women And Their Infants

Local reactions (redness, swelling, and pain at the injection site of the left arm) were recorded by participants in e-diary. Erythema/Redness and induration/swelling were measured and recorded in measuring device units (1 measuring device unit=0.5 centimeter [cm]). Grading: Grade 1/mild (greater than [>] 2.5 to 5.0 cm), Grade 2/moderate (>5.0 to 10.0 cm), Grade 3/severe (>10.0 cm) and Grade 4 (necrosis [swelling] or necrosis or exfoliative dermatitis [redness]). Pain at injection site was graded as Grade 1/mild (did not interfere with activity), Grade2/moderate (interfered with activity), Grade 3/severe (prevented daily activity) and Grade 4 (emergency room [ER] visit or hospitalization for severe pain at injection site). Grade 4 were classified by investigator or medically qualified person.

APGAR is a scoring system that evaluates Activity, Pulse, Grimace, Appearance, and Respiration. Each category is given a score of 0-2 points (with 0 being absent and 2 being normal), the points are then combined for a total score that ranges from 0-10. Scores 7 and above are generally normal, 4 to 6 are fairly low, and 2 and below are considered critically low. APGAR score at 1 minute were reported in this outcome measure.

The Ballard score is a commonly used technique of gestational age assessment. It assists healthcare providers in determining if an infant is premature, on time, or post-term based on physical traits. This scoring allows for the estimation of age in the range of 26 weeks to 44 weeks Participants according to age determined by Ballard score: at <37 weeks 0 days, >=37 weeks to <42 weeks, >=42 weeks were reported in this outcome measure. Ballard score was not conducted routinely/mandatory.

Participants with newborn assessment at birth included: normal, congenital malformation/anomaly, other neonatal problem were reported in this outcome measure.

Participants according to vital status as: live or neonatal death were reported in this outcome measure.
