What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions at Each Injection Site Within 10 Days After Vaccination

    Local reactions included pain at injection site, redness and swelling and were recorded by participants in an electronic diary (e-diary). Redness and swelling were measured and recorded in measuring device units. 1 measuring device unit =0.5 centimeter (cm) and graded as mild: greater than (>) 2.0 to 5.0 cm, moderate: >5.0 to 10.0 cm and severe: >10.0 cm. Pain at injection site was graded as mild: did not interfere with daily activity, moderate: interfered with daily activity and severe: prevented daily activity. Percentage of participants with local reactions at each injection site within 10 days after vaccination and the associated 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CI) based on the Clopper and Pearson method was presented.

    Measured: Within 10 days after vaccination

  2. Percentage of Participants With Systemic Events Within 7 Days After Vaccination

    Systemic events including fever, fatigue, headache, chills, muscle pain and joint pain were recorded by participants using an e-diary. Fever was defined as temperature >=38.0 degree Celsius (C) and categorized as >=38.0 to 38.4 degree C, >38.4 to 38.9 degree C, >38.9 to 40.0 degree C and >40.0 degree C. Fatigue, headache, chills, muscle pain and joint pain were graded as mild: did not interfere with activity, moderate: some interference with activity and severe: prevented daily routine activity. Percentage of participants with systemic events within 7 days after vaccination and the associated 2-sided 95% CI based on the Clopper and Pearson method was presented.

    Measured: Within 7 days after vaccination

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

    An AE was defined as 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. Percentage of participants with AEs and the associated 2-sided 95% CI based on the Clopper and Pearson method was presented. Only AEs collected by non-systematic assessment (i.e. excluding local reactions and systemic events) were reported in this outcome measure.

    Measured: From day of vaccination (Day 1) up to 1 month after vaccination

  4. Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) Within 6 Months After Vaccination

    A SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, resulted in death; was life-threatening (immediate risk of death); required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity (substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions); resulted in congenital anomaly/birth defect; was a suspected transmission via a Pfizer product of an infectious agent, pathogenic or non-pathogenic or that was considered to be an important medical event. Percentage of participants with SAEs and the associated 2-sided 95% CI based on the Clopper and Pearson method was presented.

    Measured: From day of vaccination (Day 1) up to 6 months after vaccination

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) of Pneumococcal Serotype-Specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) at 1 Month After Vaccination With 20vPnC

    OPA titers were measured from serum samples for 20vPnC serotypes: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F,8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F. GMTs and 2-sided CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the OPA titers and the corresponding CIs and based on the Student t distribution. Data for this outcome measure was planned to be analyzed for coadministration group (20vPnC + BNT162b2) and 20vPnC only group (20vPnC + saline) as specified in protocol.

    Measured: 1 month after vaccination with 20vPnC

  2. Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of Full-Length S-Binding Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Levels at 1 Month After Vaccination With BNT162b2

    IgG levels were measured in serum samples using severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) full-length S-binding assay. GMCs and 2-sided CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of the concentrations and the corresponding CIs and based on the Student t distribution. Data for this outcome measure was planned to be analyzed for coadministration group (20vPnC + BNT162b2) and BNT162b2 only group (BNT162b2 + saline) as specified in protocol.

    Measured: 1 month after vaccination with BNT162b2

  3. Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) of Full-Length S-Binding IgG Levels From Before Vaccination to 1 Month After Vaccination With BNT162b2

    The GMFR for each vaccine group was defined as the geometric mean of the fold rises in the assay results from before to approximately 1 month after vaccination. GMFRs and the corresponding 2-sided 95% CIs were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of fold rises and the corresponding CIs and based on the Student t distribution. Data for this outcome measure was planned to be analyzed for coadministration group (20vPnC + BNT162b2) and BNT162b2 only group (BNT162b2 + saline) as specified in the protocol.

    Measured: Before vaccination to 1 month after vaccination with BNT162b2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (20vPnC), BNT162b2 and Saline in people with Pneumococcal Disease and COVID-19, run by Pfizer at 27 sites in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 14 Dec 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 27 sites in United States. 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 14 Dec 2022). 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 Local Reactions at Each Injection Site Within 10 Days After Vaccination (time frame: Within 10 days after vaccination). The study lists 4 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 NCT04887948, 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 14 Dec 2022.
