Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

65 years and older (Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Healthy Japanese male and female adults aged 65 years old and older at time of enrollment. Subjects with preexisting stable disease, defined as disease not requiring significant change in therapy or hospitalization for worsening disease 12 weeks before receipt of the study vaccine, are eligible.
  2. Male and female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception throughout the study or for at least 28 days after the last dose of the study vaccine whichever is longer.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. History of severe adverse reaction including hypersensitivity such as anaphylaxis associated with a vaccine or vaccine component.
  2. Previous vaccination with any licensed or experimental pneumococcal vaccine.
  3. Documented Streptococcus pneumoniae infection within the past 5 years.
  4. Residence in a nursing home, long-term care facility, or other institution or requirement of semiskilled nursing care.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Serotype-specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for 12 Common Serotypes 1 Month After Vaccination
Time Frame: One month after vaccination
Antibody-mediated serum OPA against each of the 12 pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) was measured centrally using a quantitative functional microcolony OPA (mcOPA) assay. Results were expressed as OPA titers. OPA titers were logarithmically transformed for analysis; geometric means calculated and expressed as geometric mean titers (GMTs).
One month after vaccination
Percentage of Participants Achieving At Least a 4-fold Rise in OPA Titers for Serotype 6A 1 Month After Vaccination
Time Frame: One month after vaccination
For serotype 6A the percentage of participants achieving at least a 4-fold rise on the serotype-specific antibody titer from pre-vaccination to 1 month post-vaccination was computed along with exact, 2-sided 95% confidence interval for the proportion.
One month after vaccination

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Serotype-specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) for 12 Common Serotypes and Serotype 6A 1 Month After Vaccination
Time Frame: One month after vaccination
Antibody-mediated serum OPA against each of the 13 pneumococcal serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) was measured centrally using a quantitative functional microcolonoy OPA (mcOPA) assay. Results were expressed as OPA titers. OPA titers were logarithmically transformed for analysis; geometric means calculated and expressed as geometric mean titers (GMTs).
One month after vaccination

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants Reporting Pre-specified Local Reactions Within 14 Days After Vaccination
Time Frame: Within 14 days after vaccination
Local reactions reported using an electronic diary. Redness and swelling scaled as Any (redness present or swelling present); Mild (2.5 to 5.0 centimeters [cm]; Moderate (5.1 to 10.0 cm); Severe (>10 cm). Pain scaled as Any (pain present); Mild (awareness of pain; easily tolerated); Moderate (discomfort enough to cause interference with usual activity); Severe (incapacitating). Limitation of arm movement scaled as Any (limitation present); Mild (some limitation); Moderate (unable to move arm above head; able to move arm above shoulder); Severe (unable to move arm above shoulder).
Within 14 days after vaccination
Percentage of Participants Reporting Pre-specified Systemic Events Within 14 Days After Vaccination
Time Frame: Within 14 days after vaccination
Systemic events reported using an electronic diary. Systemic events are any fever greater than or equal to (>=) 37.5 degrees Celsius [C], fatigue, headache, chills, rash, vomiting, decreased appetite, new muscle pain, aggravated muscle pain, new joint pain, aggravated joint pain, use of medication to treat fever and use of medication to treat pain. All reports of fever >=39 degrees C in 13vPnC and 23vPS were confirmed as data entry errors.
