About this study
Official title: A PHASE 3, SINGLE-ARM, MULTICENTER TRIAL TO DESCRIBE THE SAFETY AND IMMUNOGENICITY OF A 20-VALENT PNEUMOCOCCAL CONJUGATE VACCINE IN PNEUMOCOCCAL VACCINE-NAÏVE ADULTS ≥18 YEARS OF AGE IN INDIA
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and immune response of 20vPnC in adults in India.
This study is seeking participants who:
Read more
- are generally healthy adults of 18 years or older.
- have not received pneumococcal vaccine.
The study will have 2 groups based on age. One group will have particpants between 18 to 49 years of age. The other group will have participants of 50 years or older.
Participants will take part in the study for about one month which includes two visits to the study clinic. Participants will receive a single dose of study vaccine (20vPnC) into the arm at visit 1 and will come to study site for a follow-up visit after about a month.
The study team will ask questions about the participant's health and blood samples will be taken in a subset of participants during the visits.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Percentage of Participants With Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Vaccination
Local reactions (redness, swelling, and injection site pain) at the site of investigational product administration were recorded in electronic diary (e-diary). Redness and swelling were measured and recorded in caliper units where 1 caliper unit = 0.5 centimeter (cm). Redness and swelling were graded as mild (more than [>]2.0 to 5.0 cm), moderate (>5.0 to 10.0cm) and severe (>10.0cm). Pain at injection site was graded as mild (did not interfere with activity), moderate (interfered with activity), and severe (prevented daily activity). Exact 2-sided 95% confidence interval was based on the Clopper and Pearson method.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 7 after vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Systemic Events Within 7 Days After Vaccination
Systemic events included: fever, fatigue, headache, joint pain and muscle pain. Fever was defined as an oral temperature of more than or equal to (>=)38.0 degree Celsius (C) and was classified as >=38.0 degree C, >=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, joint pain and muscle pain were graded as mild (did not interfere with activity), moderate (some interference with activity) and severe (prevented daily activity). Exact 2-sided 95% confidence interval was based on the Clopper and Pearson method.
Measured: Day 1 to Day 7 after vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) From Vaccination to 1 Month After Vaccination
An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Only AEs collected by non-systematic assessment (i.e. excluding local reactions and systemic events) were reported in this outcome measure. Exact 2-sided 95% confidence interval was based on the Clopper and Pearson method.
Measured: From vaccination on Day 1 up to 1 Month after vaccination
Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) From Vaccination to 1 Month After Vaccination
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 or significant disability/incapacity, resulted in congenital anomaly/birth defect or 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.
Measured: From vaccination on Day 1 up to 1 Month after vaccination
Secondary outcomes (1)
Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) of Pneumococcal Serotype-Specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Titers From Before Vaccination to 1 Month After Vaccination
GMFRs and 2-sided 95% confidence interval (CIs) were calculated by exponentiating the mean logarithm of fold rises and the corresponding CIs (based on the Student t distribution). Assay results below the lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) were set to 0.5*LLOQ in the analysis. Evaluable immunogenicity population: Eligible participants in the immunogenicity subset who received 1 dose of the intervention with at least 1 valid immunogenicity result from the blood sample collection within 27 to 49 days after vaccination, had no other major protocol deviations as determined by the clinician.
Measured: From before vaccination to 1 Month after vaccination

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing 20-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in people with Pneumococcal Disease, run by Pfizer at 8 sites in India.
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 1 inclusion and 4 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 Oct 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 8 sites in India. 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 24 Oct 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 Local Reactions Within 7 Days After Vaccination (time frame: Day 1 to Day 7 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 NCT05875727, 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 Oct 2024.
