Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Injection-site Adverse Event (AE)

    An 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. Solicited injection-site AEs were injection site erythema (redness), injection site induration (hard lump), injection site pain and injection site swelling.

    Day 1 to Day 14 post each vaccination

  • Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Systemic Adverse Event

    An 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. Solicited systemic AEs were decreased appetite (appetite loss), somnolence (drowsiness), irritability and urticaria (hives/welts).

    Day 1 to Day 14 post each vaccination

  • Percentage of Participants With a Vaccine-related Serious Adverse Event (SAE)

    An 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. Relatedness of an SAE to the study vaccine was determined by the investigator.

    Up to 4 weeks post vaccination 4 (~14.5 months)

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Percentage of Participants Meeting the Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Threshold of ≥0.35 µg/mL

    One month post vaccination 3 (~3 months after Vaccination 1)

  • Serotype-specific IgG Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs)

    1 month post vaccination 3 (~3 months after Vaccination 1)

  • Percentage of Participants Meeting Threshold Values for Protective Responses to DTaP-IPV (Diphtheria Toxin, Tetanus Toxin, Pertussis Toxin, Pertussis Filamentous Hemagglutinin (FHA) and Polio Virus Type 1/2/3)

    1 month post vaccination 3 (~3 months after Vaccination 1)

Study Arms (3)

V114-SC

EXPERIMENTAL

Infant participants will receive a single 0.5 mL subcutaneous (SC) injection of V114 on Visit 1, 2, 3 and 5 (approximately 3, 4, 5, and 12 to 15 months of age). Infant participants will receive a single 0.5 mL SC injection of concomitant study vaccine \[Adsorbed Diphtheria-purified Pertussis-tetanus-inactivated polio (Sabin strain) Combined Vaccine (DTaP-IPV) at the same time as V114-SC.

V114-IM

EXPERIMENTAL

Infant participants will receive a single 0.5 mL intramuscular (IM) injection of V114 at Visit 1, 2, 3 and 5 (approximately 3, 4, 5, and 12 to 15 months of age). Infant participants will receive a single 0.5 mL SC injection of concomitant study vaccine (DTaP-IPV) at the same time as V114-IM.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Infant participants will receive a single 0.5 mL subcutaneous (SC) injection of pneumococcal 13-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV13) at Visit 1, 2, 3 and 5 (approximately 3, 4, 5, and 12 to 15 months of age). Infant participants will receive a single 0.5 mL SC injection of concomitant study vaccine (DTaP-IPV) at the same time as PCV13-SC.
