Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of V114 in Healthy Infants (V114-029)
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of V114 in healthy infants. The primary hypotheses are that: 1) V114 is non-inferior to Prevnar 13™ for the 13 shared serotypes between V114 and Prevnar 13™ based on response rates at 30 days following Dose 3; 2) V114 is non-inferior to Prevnar 13™ for the 2 unique V114 serotypes based on the response rate of the 2 unique V114 serotypes compared with the lowest response rate of any of the shared serotypes in Prevnar 13™, excluding serotype 3, at 30 days following Dose 3; 3) V114 is non-inferior to Prevnar 13™ for the 13 shared serotypes based on anti-pneumococcal polysaccharide (PnPs) serotype-specific immunoglobulin g (IgG) geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) at 30 days following Dose 3; 4) V114 is non-inferior to Prevnar 13™ for the 2 unique V114 serotypes based on the anti-PnPs serotype-specific IgG GMCs of the 2 unique V114 serotypes compared with the lowest IgG GMC of any of the shared serotypes in Prevnar 13™, excluding serotype 3, at 30 days following Dose 3; 5) V114 is non-inferior to Prevnar 13™ for the 13 shared serotypes between V114 and Prevnar 13™ based on anti-PnPs serotype-specific IgG GMCs at 30 days following Dose 4; and 6) V114 is non-inferior to Prevnar 13™ for the 2 unique V114 serotypes based on anti-PnPs serotype-specific IgG GMCs of the 2 unique V114 serotypes compared with the lowest IgG GMC of any of the shared serotypes in Prevnar 13, excluding serotype 3, at 30 days following Dose 4.

---|---|---|
Experimental V114 |
Participants receive 4 total 0.5 mL intramuscular (IM) vaccinations at ~2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age. Participants will receive other vaccinations (i.e., RotaTeq™, Pentacel™, RECOMBIVAX HB™, VAQTA™, M-M-R II™, VARIVAX™, and HIBERIX™) as part of their vaccination schedule. |

Active Comparator Prevnar 13™ |
Participants receive 4 total 0.5 mL IM vaccinations at ~2, 4, 6, and 12 to 15 months of age. Participants will also receive other vaccines (i.e., RotaTeq™, Pentacel™, RECOMBIVAX HB™, VAQTA™, M-M-R II™, VARIVAX™, and HIBERIX™) as part of their vaccination schedule. |
