Health Condition / Problems Studied  
Health Type  Condition 
Healthy Human Volunteers  The prevention of disease caused by S pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F (including sepsis, meningitis, bacteremia, pneumonia, and acute otitis media) 
 
Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine with 2-PE in Multidose vials (MDVs) and 13-valent Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine without 2-PE in Pre-filled Syringes (PFSs)  13vPnC contains saccharides from pneumococcal serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14,18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F individually conjugated to nontoxic diphtheria toxin CRM. The vaccine is formulated to contain 2.2 microgram of each saccharide, except for 4.4 microgram of 6B, per 0.5-mL dose. The vaccine is formulated with 5 mM succinate buffer, 0.02 percent polysorbate 80, and 0.125 mg of aluminum as aluminum phosphate, per 0.5-mL dose. 13vPnC MDVs will also contain 4 mg of 2-PE per 0.5-mL dose. Four (4) doses of 13vPnC (2.0 mL) will be contained within each MDV. For the purposes of this study, only a single 0.5-mL dose will be administered from each of the MDVs.

Brief Summary  

This is a phase 4, randomized, open label trial to describe the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 13-valent  pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (13vPnC) formulated in multidose vials when given with routine pediatric vaccines in healthy infants in India. This study is being conducted in response to a post approval marketing authorization condition by the Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) vide letter 27-Jun-2016. Currently 13vPnC is available as a single dose prefilled syringe. Now Pfizer has developed a formulation containing the preservative 2-phenoxyethanol (2-PE) that will allow the vaccine to be supplied in a multi-dose vial presentation with 4 doses per vial. The multi-dose vial presentation with 2-PE will help significantly reduce the cold-chain requirements, storage costs and wastage incurred in delivering the vaccine through large scale public immunization programs.
