Study of a 21-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Healthy Infants from Approximately 2 Months of Age
EU CTIS ID: 2023-507600-32-00
What this study is testing
To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the antibody (Ab) response (immunoglobulin type G [IgG]) induced by PCV21 versus 15vPCV for the shared serotypes between 15vPCV and PCV21 at 30 days post-toddler dose (PTD) (post dose [PD]3 for full-term infants; PD4 for preterm infants), as assessed by the seroresponse rate To demonstrate the non-inferiority of the serotype specific IgG Ab level induced by PCV21 versus 15vPCV for the shared serotypes between 15vPCV and PCV21 at 30 days PTD, as assessed by the geometric mean concentration (GMC) To demonstrate the superiority of the Ab response (IgG) induced by PCV21 versus 15vPCV for the 6 serotypes unique to PCV21 at 30 days PTD, as assessed by the seroresponse rate To demonstrate the superiority of the serotype specific IgG Ab level induced by PCV21 versus 15vPCV for the 6 serotypes unique to PCV21 at 30 days PTD, as assessed by the GMC
