Study summary
Researchers are looking for new vaccines to prevent pneumococcal disease, which is any infection in the lungs or other parts of the body that is caused by a type of bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. V118C is a new vaccine designed to help prevent disease from Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria.
This study will look at V118C in toddlers and infants. The goal of the study is to learn how safe V118C is for children and how well they tolerate it.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Stage 1: Percentage of Participants With Immediate Adverse Events (AEs) Following Vaccination — Up to approximately 30 minutes postvaccination
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. Percentage of participants with immediate AEs following vaccination will be reported. - Stage 1: Percentage of Participants With Solicited Injection-Site Adverse Events (AEs) — Up to approximately 7 days postvaccination
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. A solicited AE is a predefined event that participants legally acceptable representative (LAR) are specifically asked about and record on their electronic vaccine report card (eVRC). Solicited injection-site AEs include redness, swelling, pain or tenderness and hard lump. Percentage of participants with solicited injection-site AEs will be reported. - Stage 1: Percentage of Participants With Solicited Systemic AEs — Up to approximately 7 days postvaccination
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. A solicited AE is a predefined event that participants LAR are specifically asked about and record on their eVRC. Solicited systemic AEs include irritability, drowsiness, appetite lost, hives or welts, and fever. Percentage of participants with solicited systemic AEs will be reported. - Stage 1: Percentage of Participants With Unsolicited Systemic or Injection-Site AEs — Up to approximately 28 days postvaccination
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. An unsolicited AE is an event that is not solicited using a eVRC and that is communicated by a participant. Percentage of participants with unsolicited Systemic or Injection-Site AEs will be reported. - Stage 1: Percentage of Participants With Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) — Up to approximately 12 months postvaccination
A serious adverse event (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. Percentage of participants with one or more SAEs will be reported. - Stage 1: Percentage of Participants With Medically Attended AEs (MAAEs) — Up to approximately 12 months postvaccination
A MAAE is defined as an adverse event in which medical attention is received during an unscheduled, non-routine outpatient visit, such as an emergency department visit, office visit, or an urgent care visit with any medical personnel for any reason. Percentage of participants with MAAEs will be reported. - Stage 2: Percentage of Participants With Immediate AEs Following Vaccination — Up to approximately 30 minutes after each vaccination
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. Percentage of participants with immediate AEs following vaccination will be reported. - Stage 2: Percentage of Participants With Solicited Injection-Site AEs — Up to approximately 7 days after each vaccination
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. A solicited AE is a predefined event that participants LAR are specifically asked about and record on their eVRC. Solicited injection-site AEs include redness, swelling, pain or tenderness and hard lump. Percentage of participants with solicited injection-site AEs will be reported. - Stage 2: Percentage of Participants With Solicited Systemic AEs — Up to approximately 7 days after each vaccination
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. A solicited AE is a predefined event that participants LAR are specifically asked about and record on their eVRC. Solicited systemic AEs include irritability, drowsiness, appetite lost, hives or welts, and fever. Percentage of participants with solicited systemic AEs will be recorded. - Stage 2: Percentage of Participants With Unsolicited Systemic or Injection-Site AEs — Up to approximately 28 days after each vaccination
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. An unsolicited AE is an event that is not solicited using a eVRC and that is communicated by a participant. Percentage of participants with unsolicited Systemic or Injection-Site AEs will be reported. - Stage 2: Percentage of Participants With SAEs — Up to approximately 12 months postdose 4
A 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. Percentage of participants with one or more SAEs will be reported. - Stage 2: Percentage of Participants With MAAEs — Up to approximately 12 months postdose 4
A MAAE is defined as an adverse event in which medical attention is received during an unscheduled, non-routine outpatient visit, such as an emergency department visit, office visit, or an urgent care visit with any medical personnel for any reason.
