A Phase 3 interventional study of V116 and PPSV23 in Pneumococcal Infection, sponsored by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC. Completed at 92 sites in 13 countries. Open to participants aged 2 Years to 17 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-03-11.
Sponsored by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC · Phase 3, Interventional, and Prevention
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V116 compared to PPSV23 in children and teenagers 2 through 17 years of age, who had completed routine pneumococcal vaccine as infants/toddlers. Researchers want to learn if V116 is as good as, or is better than the PPSV23 vaccine in terms of the antibody immune response. V116 and PPSV23 will be studied in children and teenagers who have a higher risk of getting pneumococcal disease (PD).

The percentage of participants with ≥4-fold rise from baseline (Day 1) to Day 30 in GMCs of each pneumococcal serotype was calculated. Titer levels were determined by PnECL and derived from a cLDA model. The 12 common pneumococcal serotypes in both V116 and PPSV23 were as follows: 3, 7F, 8, 9N, 10A, 11A, 12F, 17F, 19A, 20A, 22F, and 33F. The 9 unique pneumococcal serotypes in V116 were as follows: 6A, 15A, 15C, 16F, 23A, 23B, 24F, 31, and 35B.
