Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

  • Percentage of Participants with Immediate Reactions Occurring Within 30 Minutes After Any Vaccination

    An adverse event (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. The percentage of participants with immediate reactions occurring within 30 minutes after any vaccination will be reported.

    Up to approximately 30 minutes post vaccination

  • Percentage of Participants with a Solicited Injection-site Adverse Event

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. The solicited injection-site AEs assessed are redness/erythema, swelling, and tenderness/pain. The percentage of participants with a solicited injection-site adverse event will be reported.

    Up to approximately 7 days post vaccination

  • Percentage of Participants with a Solicited Systemic 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 solicited systemic AEs assessed are muscle pain/myalgia, joint pain/arthralgia, headache, and tiredness/fatigue. The percentage of participants with a solicited systemic adverse event will be reported.

    Up to approximately 7 days post vaccination

  • Percentage of Participants With at Least 1 Unsolicited Adverse Event

    An unsolicited AE is an AE that was not solicited using a vaccination report card (VRC) and that is communicated by a participant (or their legally acceptable representative, if applicable). Unsolicited AEs include serious and nonserious AEs. The percentage of participants with at least 1 unsolicited adverse event will be reported.

    Up to approximately 28 days post vaccination

  • Percentage of Participants with a Serious Adverse Event

    A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that results in death, is life threatening, results in a persistent or significant disability or incapacity, results in or prolongs an existing hospitalization, is a congenital anomaly or birth defect, is a cancer, is an overdose, or is another important medical event. The percentage of participants that experienced 1 or more SAEs will be reported.

    Up to approximately 12 months post vaccination

  • Percentage of Participants With at Least 1 Medically Attended Adverse Event

    A medically attended adverse event (MAAE) is an AE in which medical attention is received during an unscheduled, non-routine outpatient visit, such as an emergency room visit, office visit, or an urgent care visit with any medical personnel for any reason. The percentage of participants with at least 1 MAAE will be reported.

    Up to approximately 12 months post vaccination

  • Percentage of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event of Clinical Interest

    Events of clinical interest (ECIs) are defined as an overdose of Sponsor's product, drug-induced liver injury events, or potential immune-mediated diseases (pIMDs). The percentage of participants who experienced an adverse event of clinical interest will be reported.

    Up to approximately 12 months post vaccination

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Geometric Mean Titer of Serotype-specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA)

    Up to approximately 28 days post vaccination

  • Geometric Mean Fold Rise from Baseline of Serotype-specific OPA

    Baseline (pre-vaccination) and 28 days post vaccination

Study Arms (2)

Part 1: Dose Escalation

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive single intramuscular (IM) doses of a V132 formulation or comparator regimen at varying dose levels.

Biological: V132 Formulation 1Biological: V132 Formulation 2Biological: V132 Formulation 3Biological: PREVNAR 20™Biological: CAPVAXIVE™

Part 2: Dose Expansion

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive single IM doses of a V132 formulation or comparator regimen. Doses will be determined based on review of Part 1 data and will not exceed maximum dose level assessed in Part 1.
