Study summary

The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety of a new pneumococcal vaccine and how the new pneumococcal vaccine helps to fight against germs that can cause pneumonia (lung infections), meningitis (brain infections), and otitis media (ear infections) in children when compared to the pneumococcal vaccine that is currently in use, 20vPnC (Prevnar 20®).

This study will test if the new pneumococcal vaccine is as safe as the one that is currently in use. It will also assess how the new vaccine works in comparison to the one that is currently in use. To measure how the new pneumococcal vaccine compares to the current one, blood samples will be used to measure the body's ability to create proteins to fight those germs. This new vaccine can possibly provide additional protection against germs that cause pneumococcal disease that are not included in the vaccines that are currently given to children. Pneumococcal disease includes a variety of infections caused by a specific germ, Streptococcus pneumoniae

This study is seeking participants who:

  • Are children aged 15 months to 18 years.
  • May or may not have received any doses of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) in the past.

The study will be conducted in the United States, Puerto Rico, and other countries.

Participants will be assigned to 1 of 3 groups based on age:

Group 1: 15 months to less than 2 years (about 300 participants) Group 2: 2 years to less than 5 years (about 300 participants) Group 3: 5 years to less than 18 years (about 600 participants)

Within each group, participants will be assigned by chance in a 2:1 ratio to receive 1 vaccine injection (shot) with either PG4 (new vaccine) or 20vPnC, given in the arm or thigh. This means that for every 3 participants, about 2 will receive PG4 and about 1 will receive 20vPnC.

Each participant will take part in the study for approximately 6 months. During this time, each participant will visit a clinic 2 times (visit 1 for vaccination and visit 2 to follow up) and will be contacted via telephone once (for a 6 month follow up).

At the study clinic visits, participants will have their blood drawn and be asked if they have experienced any side effects. A side effect is an unintentional or unexpected reaction to a vaccine. During the 6-month follow-up contact, participants will be asked about any further side effects.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

Cohort 1 (Participants ≥15 Months to \<2 Years of Age) Healthy toddlers and children ≥15 months to \<2 years of age with documentation of prior receipt of PCV.

Cohort 2 (Participants ≥2 Years to \<5 Years of Age) Healthy toddlers and children ≥2 years to \<5 years of age with documentation of prior receipt of PCV if applicable.

Cohort 3 (Participants ≥5 Years to \<18 Years of Age) Healthy children ≥5 years to \<18 years of age with documentation of prior receipt of PCV (if applicable). A negative urine pregnancy test is required for individuals of (IOCBP). IOCBP or participants able to father must also agree to use a highly effective method of .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

All Cohorts (Participants ≥15 Months to \<18 Years of Age)

Children with significant medical, psychiatric, or neurological conditions (eg, immunodeficiency or history of seizure); or a history of confirmed invasive pneumococcal infection in the past will be excluded from enrolment in the trial

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jun 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2027, 17 months after the start.

Of 81 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Pneumococcal Infections, half reached primary completion within 13 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 23. This study's planned 17 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 82 studies reached it within 13 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 23.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
