Trial Outcomes & Findings for Evaluation of the Safety and Immunogenicity of Sequential Administration of Prevnar 13™ and Pneumovax™ 23 in Healthy Participants 50 Years of Age and Older (V110-029) (NCT NCT02225587)

NCT ID: NCT02225587

Last Updated: 2021-11-02

Results Overview

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol specified procedure. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 14 days after any vaccination (Up to 28 weeks)

Population: Participants who received at least 1 dose of treatment and followed up for safety. Two participants from Group 1, and 1 participant from Group 2 were not analyzed due to lack of follow-up data. As the objective was to report the combined safety of the two vaccines given 8 or 26 weeks apart, results are presented for the sequence of vaccinations.

A serious adverse event (SAE) is any adverse event occurring at any dose or during any use of Sponsor's product that: results in death; is life threatening; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; results in or prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; is another important medical event; is a cancer; or is associated with an overdose.

Timeframe: Week 12

Population: All randomized participants who received at least 1 vaccination and provided serology data for the particular serotype tested; with appropriate day ranges for vaccinations and blood draws, and excludes participants with important deviations from the protocol that may substantially affect the results.

Vaccine-induced functional antibodies to serotypes 22F and 33F, which are unique to PNEUMOVAX™ 23, were measured by the multiplex opsonophagocytic activity 4 (MOPA-4) assay, which is based on the ability of antibody in the serum to initiate killing of bacterial pneumococci.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 26

Population: All randomized participants who received at least 1 vaccination and provided serology data for the particular serotype tested; with appropriate day ranges for vaccinations and blood draws, and excludes participants with important deviations from the protocol that may substantially affect the results.

Vaccine-induced functional antibodies were measured by the MOPA-4 assay, which is based on the ability of antibody in the serum to initiate killing of bacterial pneumococci.
