Study summary

The purposes of this study are to evaluate the safety of 13-valent pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (13vPnC) in children who have already been vaccinated with Prevenar. The study will also assess the immunological response (measure the amount of antibodies, i.e. proteins that fight off germs) produced by children after they have been given the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine at 5 and 12 months or 12 months of age. In addition, reactions at the injection site will be assessed during the study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of Serotype-Specific Pneumococcal Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Antibodies 1 Month After the Toddler Dose

    Antibody geometric mean concentration (GMC) as measured by micrograms per milliliter (mcg/mL) for 7 common pneumococcal serotypes (serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F) and 6 additional pneumococcal serotypes specific to 13vPnC (Serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, and 19A) were presented. GMC (13vPnC) and corresponding 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CI) were evaluated. GMCs were calculated using all participants with available data for the specified blood draw.

    Time frame: 1 month after the toddler dose (13 months of age)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving a Serotype-specific IgG Antibody Greater Than or Equal To (≥) 0.35 Mcg/mL, 1 Month After the Infant Dose

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

    Time frame: 1 Month after the infant series (6 months of age)
