What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • V114Biological

    Also called VAXNEUVANCE™, Pneumococcal 15-Valent Conjugate Vaccine

    15-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) containing 13 serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F) present in Prevnar 13™ plus 2 additional serotypes (22F, 33F) in each 0.5 mL sterile suspension for intramuscular injection.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants With ≥1 Solicited Injection-site Adverse Events

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Following any of the doses of V114, the percentage of participants with solicited injection-site AEs was assessed. The solicited injection-site AEs consist of erythema, induration, pain, and swelling.

    Measured: Up to 7 days after any vaccination, up to a total of ~ 13 months

  2. Percentage of Participants With ≥1 Solicited Systemic Adverse Events

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Following any of the doses of V114, the percentage of participants with solicited systemic AEs was assessed. The solicited systemic AEs consist of decreased appetite, irritability, somnolence, and urticaria.

    Measured: Up to 7 days after any vaccination, up to a total of ~ 13 months

  3. Percentage of Participants With ≥1 Vaccine-related Serious Adverse Events

    A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that is life-threatening, requires or prolongs an existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or is another important medical event deemed such by medical or scientific judgment. The percentage of participants with a vaccine-related SAE following any dose of V114 was reported. Vaccine-related SAEs were counted starting after vaccine dose 1 through completion of study.

    Measured: Up to approximately 14.5 months

  4. Percentage of Participants Discontinuing Study Therapy Due to an Adverse Event

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The percentage of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE is reported.

    Measured: Up to approximately 13 months

  5. Percentage of Participants With Anti-Pneumococcal Polysaccharides Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G ≥0.35 µg/mL

    The percentage of participants with immunoglobulin G (IgG) threshold values of ≥0.35 µg/mL for the 15 serotypes contained in V114 (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F) at 30 days postdose 3 is reported. The multiplex, pneumococcal electrochemiluminescence (PnECL) v2.0 assay was used to quantify IgG serotype-specific antibodies.

    Measured: 30 days after vaccination 3 (Up to a total of ~5 months)

  6. Geometric Mean Concentrations of Anti-Pneumococcal Polysaccharides Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G at 30 Days Postdose 3

    The anti-pneumococcal polysaccharides (PnPs) serotype-specific IgG geometric mean concentrations (GMCs) at 30 days postdose 3 for each serotype-specific were reported. The multiplex, electrochemiluminescence (ECL)-based PnECL v2.0 assay was used to quantify IgG serotype-specific antibodies.

    Measured: 30 days after vaccination 3 (Up to a total of ~5 months)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Geometric Mean Concentrations of Anti-Pneumococcal Polysaccharides Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G at 30 Days Postdose 4

    The anti-PnPs serotype-specific IgG GMCs at 30 days postdose 4 for each serotype-specific were reported. The multiplex, ECL-based PnECL v2.0 assay was used.

    Measured: 30 days after vaccination 4 (Up to a total of ~14 months)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing V114 in people with Pneumococcal Disease, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC at 19 sites in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Apr 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants With ≥1 Solicited Injection-site Adverse Events (time frame: Up to 7 days after any vaccination, up to a total of ~ 13 months). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04633226, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Sep 2024.
