Study Evaluating 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (13vPnC) in Children With Sickle Cell Disease

A Phase 3, Open-Label, Single-Arm Trial Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Immunogenicity of 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in Children With Sickle Cell Disease Previously Immunized With 23vPS Vaccine

This study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of 13-valent pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine in children with Sickle Cell Disease who have already been vaccinated with 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine. The study will measure the amount of antibodies (the proteins that fight off germs) produced by children with Sickle Cell Disease after they have been given the 13-valent pneumococcal vaccine between 6 and less than 18 years of age. They will be given the vaccination twice, each vaccination separated by approximately 6 months.

Confidence interval (CI) for GMFR were back transformations of a CI based on the Student t distribution for the mean logarithm of the mean fold rise. GMFRs were calculated using all participants with available data from both 1 month after 13vPnC Dose 1 and after 13vPnC Dose 2 blood draws. Here number of participants analyzed signifies the evaluable immunogenicity population and "N" signifies participants with a determinate IgG antibody concentration for the given serotype at both 1 Month After 13vPnC Dose 1 and 1 Month After 13vPnC Dose 2 blood draws.
