What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Prompted Local Reactions Within 10 Days After Vaccination 1 (20vPnC or 13vPnC)

    Reactions were collected in the e-diary including redness, swelling, and pain at the injection site. Exact 2-sided CI was calculated based on the Clopper and Pearson method.

    Redness and swelling were graded as mild (>2.0 to 5.0 cm), moderate (>5.0 to 10.0 cm), and severe (>10.0 cm).

    Pain at the injection site was graded as mild (does not interfere with activity), moderate (interferes with activity), and severe (prevents daily activity).

    Measured: Within 10 days after 20vPnC in the 20vPnC/Saline group or 13vPnC in the 13vPnC/PPSV23 group

  2. Percentage of Participants With Prompted Systemic Events Within 7 Days After Vaccination 1 (20vPnC or 13vPnC)

    Events were collected in the e-diary including fever, headache, fatigue, muscle pain, and joint pain. Exact 2-sided CI was calculated based on the Clopper and Pearson method.

    Fever was categorized as ≥38.0 degree Celsius (°C), ≥38.0°C to 38.4°C, >38.4°C to 38.9°C, >38.9°C to 40.0°C, and >40.0°C.

    Fatigue, headache, muscle pain, and joint pain were graded as mild (does not interfere with activity), moderate (some interference with activity), and severe (prevents daily activity).

    Measured: Within 7 days after 20vPnC in the 20vPnC/Saline group or 13vPnC in the 13vPnC/PPSV23 group

  3. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Within 1 Month After Vaccination 1 (20vPnC or 13vPnC)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    Measured: Within 1 month after 20vPnC in the 20vPnC/Saline group or 13vPnC in the 13vPnC/PPSV23 group

  4. Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Within 1 Month After Vaccination 1 (20vPnC or 13vPnC)

    An SAE was any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in death; was life-threatening; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent disability/incapacity; resulted in congenital anomaly/birth defect or that was considered to be an important medical event.

    Measured: Within 1 Month After Vaccination 1 (20vPnC or 13vPnC)

  5. Pneumococcal Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for 13-matched Serotypes at 1 Month After Vaccination 1 (20vPnC or 13vPnC)

    OPA titers were determined for the 13 matching pneumococcal serotypes: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, 23F. GMTs and 2-sided CIs were calculated by exponentiating the Least Square (LS) means and the corresponding CIs based on analysis of log-transformed OPA titers using a regression model with vaccine group, sex, smoking status, age at vaccination in years (continuous), baseline log-transformed OPA titers, and country.

    Measured: 1 month after 20vPnC in the 20vPnC/Saline group or 13vPnC in the 13vPnC/PPSV23 group

  6. Pneumococcal OPA GMTs for 7 Additional Serotypes at 1 Month After Vaccination 1 (20vPnC) or 1 Month After Vaccination 2 (PPSV23)

    OPA titers were determined for serotypes: 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, and 33F. GMTs and 2-sided CIs were calculated by exponentiating the LS means and the corresponding CIs based on analysis of log-transformed OPA titers using a regression model with vaccine group, sex, smoking status, age at vaccination in years (continuous), baseline log-transformed OPA titers, and country.

    Measured: 1 month after 20vPnC in the 20vPnC/Saline group or 1 month after PPSV23 in the 13vPnC/PPSV23 group.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. OPA Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFRs) For 13-matched Serotypes From Before To 1 Month After Vaccination 1 (20vPnC or 13vPnC)

    GMFRs and the corresponding 2-sided CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the fold rises and the corresponding CIs (based on the Student's t distribution), for serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F and 23F.

    Measured: Before Vaccination 1 to 1 month after 20vPnC in the 20vPnC/saline group or 13vPnC in the 13vPnC/PPSV23 group.

  2. OPA GMFRs for 7 Additional Serotypes From Before to 1 Month After Vaccination 1 (20vPnC) or From Before Vaccination 1 to 1 Month After Vaccination 2 (PPSV23)

    GMFRs and the corresponding 2-sided CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the fold rises and the corresponding CIs (based on the Student's t distribution), for serotypes 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, and 33F.

    Measured: From before Vaccination 1 (20vPnC) to 1 month after Vaccination 1 (20vPnC) in the 20vPnC/Saline group or from before Vaccination 1 (13vPnC) to 1 month after Vaccination 2 (PPSV23) in the 13vPnC/PPSV23 group

  3. Percentage of Participants With ≥4 Fold Rise for 13-matched Serotypes of OPA Titers From Before to 1 Month After Vaccination 1 (20vPnC or 13vPnC)

    The percentage of participants with a ≥4-fold rise in OPA titers and associated 95% CI before vaccination to 1 month after vaccination with 20vPnC or 13vPnC for the 13 matching serotypes, including 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F were summarized.

    Measured: From before Vaccination 1 to 1 month after 20vPnC in the 20vPnC/Saline group or 13vPnC in the 13vPnC/PPSV23 group

  4. Percentage of Participants With ≥4 Fold Rise in 7 Additional Serotypes of OPA Titers From Before Vaccination 1 to 1 Month After Vaccination 1 (20vPnC) or From Before Vaccination 1 to 1 Month After Vaccination 2 (PPSV23)

    The percentage of participants with a ≥4-fold rise in OPA titers and associated 95% CI before vaccination to 1 month after vaccination with 20vPnC or PPSV23 for the 7 additional serotypes, including 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, and 33F were summarized.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 20vPnC, Saline and 13vPnC in people with Pneumococcal Disease, run by Pfizer at 28 sites in 3 countries.

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 3 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 5 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 28 sites in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan. 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 28 Nov 2023). 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 Prompted Local Reactions Within 10 Days After Vaccination 1 (20vPnC or 13vPnC) (time frame: Within 10 days after 20vPnC in the 20vPnC/Saline group or 13vPnC in the 13vPnC/PPSV23 group). 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 NCT04875533, 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 5 Nov 2024.
