Safety and Immunogenicity of V114 in Children Infected With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (V114-030/PNEU-WAY PED) (PNEU-WAY PED)

May 11, 2023 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Active Comparator-controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of V114 Followed by Administration of PNEUMOVAX™23 Eight Weeks Later in Children Infected With Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (PNEU-WAY PED)

This is a study of V114 in children infected with HIV. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either V114 or Prevnar 13™ followed 8 weeks later by a single dose of PNEUMOVAX™23. The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of V114 in children 6 to 17 years of age inclusive infected with HIV and to evaluate the anti-pneumococcal polysaccharide (PnPs) serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) at 30 days following vaccination with V114 or Prevnar 13™ by each vaccination group. There are no formal hypotheses.

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 Following Vaccination With V114 or Prevnar 13™
Time Frame: Through 14 Days after Vaccination 1 (Up to Day 14)
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Following Vaccination 1 with either V114 or Prevnar 13™, the percentage of participants with solicited injection-site AEs was assessed. The solicited injection-site AEs assessed were redness/erythema, hard lump/induration, tenderness/pain, and swelling.
Through 14 Days after Vaccination 1 (Up to Day 14)
Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Systemic Adverse Event Following Vaccination With V114 or Prevnar 13™
Time Frame: Through 14 Days after Vaccination 1 (Up to Day 14)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Following Vaccination 1 with either V114 or Prevnar 13™, the percentage of participants with solicited systemic AEs was assessed. The solicited systemic AEs assessed were joint pain/arthralgia, tiredness/fatigue, headache, muscle pain/myalgia, and hives or welts/urticaria.
Through 14 Days after Vaccination 1 (Up to Day 14)
Percentage of Participants With a Vaccine-related Serious Adverse Event (SAE) Following Vaccination 1 (V114 or Prevnar 13™) or Vaccination 2 (PNEUMOVAX™23) Through Completion of Study
Time Frame: Through 6 Months after Vaccination 1 (Up to Day 194)
An 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 an other important medical event deemed such by medical or scientific judgment. The percentage of participants with a vaccine-related SAE following Vaccination 1 (with either V114 or Prevnar 13™) or Vaccination 2 (PNEUMOVAX™23) through completion of study participation was reported.
Through 6 Months after Vaccination 1 (Up to Day 194)
Anti-PnPs Serotype-specific IgG Geometric Mean Concentrations (GMCs) at 30 Days Following Vaccination With V114 or Prevnar 13™
Time Frame: Day 30
The GMC of serotype-specific IgG for the serotypes contained in V114 (13 serotypes shared with Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes unique to V114) was determined using an electrochemiluminescence 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
Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Injection-Site Adverse Event Following Vaccination With PNEUMOVAX™23
Time Frame: Through 14 Days after Vaccination 2 (Up to Day 84)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Following Vaccination 2 with PNEUMOVAX™23 (PPV23), the percentage of participants with solicited injection-site AEs was assessed. The solicited injection-site AEs assessed were redness/erythema, hard lump/induration, tenderness/pain, and swelling.
Through 14 Days after Vaccination 2 (Up to Day 84)
Percentage of Participants With a Solicited Systemic Adverse Event Following Vaccination With PNEUMOVAX™23
Time Frame: Through 14 Days after Vaccination 2 (Up to Day 84)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Following Vaccination 2 with PNEUMOVAX™23, the percentage of participants with solicited systemic AEs was assessed. The solicited systemic AEs assessed were joint pain/arthralgia, tiredness/fatigue, headache, muscle pain/myalgia, and hives or welts/urticaria.
Through 14 Days after Vaccination 2 (Up to Day 84)
Anti-PnPs Serotype-specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) at 30 Days Following Vaccination With V114 or Prevnar 13™
Time Frame: Day 30
The GMT of serotype-specific OPA for the serotypes contained in V114 (13 serotypes shared with Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes unique to V114) was determined using a multiplexed opsonophagocytic assay.
Day 30
Anti-PnPs Serotype-specific OPA GMTs at 30 Days Following Vaccination With PNEUMOVAX™23 (Week 12)
Time Frame: Week 12
The GMT of serotype-specific OPA for the serotypes contained in V114 (13 serotypes shared with Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes unique to V114) was determined using a multiplexed opsonophagocytic assay.
Week 12
Anti-PnPs Serotype-specific IgG GMCs at 30 Days Following Vaccination With PNEUMOVAX™23 (Week 12)
Time Frame: Week 12
The GMC of serotype-specific IgG for the serotypes contained in V114 (13 serotypes shared with Prevnar 13™ and 2 serotypes unique to V114) was determined using an electrochemiluminescence assay.
