Trial overview
The available trial data describe one completed Phase 3 study of a pneumococcal vaccine program in adults at increased risk for invasive pneumococcal disease.[1] The study title shows that it evaluated the V116 vaccine in this higher-risk adult group.[1]
Who participated
The study population was adults who had an increased risk for invasive pneumococcal disease.[1] The source data do not list the full eligibility rules, so only this broad target group can be confirmed.[1]
What was studied
This was an interventional study, which means participants received study treatments and were followed for outcomes.[1] The interventions listed include the Pneumococcal 21-valent Conjugate Vaccine, pneumococcal purified polysaccharides antigen, and a sodium chloride infusion used as a comparison treatment in the study records.[1]
The brief summary says the study compared V116 with a regimen of PCV15 plus PPSV23, and it looked at results within each vaccination group separately.[1] In simple terms, the researchers wanted to see how the different vaccine approaches performed in this at-risk adult group.[1]
Outcomes measured
The main safety outcomes were the percentage of participants with solicited injection-site adverse events from Day 1 through Day 5 after vaccination, and the percentage with solicited systemic adverse events during the same time window.[1] “Solicited” means the study team specifically asked about these expected reactions during follow-up.[1]
The study also measured the percentage of participants with vaccine-related serious adverse events from Day 1 through the full time in the study.[1] Serious adverse events are important medical problems that may need urgent care or hospital treatment.[1]
For immune response, the trial measured serotype-specific OPA GMTs after vaccination.[1] OPA is a lab test that shows how well antibodies help the immune system clear bacteria, and GMT means the average antibody level used in study reports.[1]
Trial phase and status
The study was in Phase 3 and is marked as Completed.[1] Phase 3 studies are usually larger studies that help researchers understand safety and immune response in more people.[1] The enrollment listed for this trial was 500 participants.[1]
Key patient points
This trial focused on preventing serious pneumococcal disease in adults at higher risk.[1] It mainly asked two questions: whether the vaccine approach was safe and how strong the immune response was after vaccination.[1] The study followed participants for short-term reactions after vaccination and for longer-term serious events during the study period.[1]
