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
Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Injection-site Adverse Event
Time Frame: Up to 14 days post-vaccination
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Solicited injection-site AEs included injection-site erythema (redness), injection-site induration (hard lump), injection-site pain (tenderness), and injection-site swelling.
Up to 14 days post-vaccination
Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Systemic Adverse Event
Time Frame: Up to 14 days post-vaccination
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Solicited systemic AEs included arthralgia (joint pain), fatigue (tiredness), headache, myalgia (muscle pain), and urticaria (hives or welts).
Up to 14 days post-vaccination
Percentage of Participants With a Vaccine-related Serious Adverse Event
Time Frame: Up to 6 months post-vaccination
A serious adverse event (SAE) is an AE that results in death, 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. SAEs that were reported by the investigator to be at least possibly related to the study vaccination were summarized.
Up to 6 months post-vaccination
Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) of Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) at Day 30
Time Frame: Day 30
The GMC of IgG serotype-specific antibodies to the 13 serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) included in V114 and Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes (22F and 33F) unique to V114 were quantitated from participants' sera by a multiplex electrochemiluminescence (ECL) assay.
Day 30

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
Geometric Mean Titer (GMT) of Serotype-specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) at Day 30
Time Frame: Day 30
Sera from participants was used to measure GMT of 13 serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) included in V114 and Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes (22F and 33F) unique to V114 using the multiplexed opsonophagocytic assay (MOPA).
Day 30
Geometric Mean Fold Rise (GMFR) in Serotype-specific IgG From Day 1 (Baseline) to Day 30
Time Frame: Day 1 (Baseline) and Day 30
IgG for the 13 serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) included in V114 and Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes unique to V114 (22F and 33F) was determined using an electrochemiluminescence assay. GMFR is defined as the geometric mean of the ratio of concentration at Day 30 after vaccination divided by concentration at baseline (Day 1, pre-vaccination).
Day 1 (Baseline) and Day 30
GMFR in Serotype-specific OPA From Day 1 (Baseline) to Day 30
Time Frame: Day 1 (Baseline) and Day 30
Activity for the 13 serotypes (1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F) included in V114 and Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes unique to V114 (22F and 33F) was determined using a MOPA. GMFR is defined as the geometric mean of the ratio of concentration at Day 30 after vaccination divided by concentration at baseline (Day 1, pre-vaccination).
Day 1 (Baseline) and Day 30
