7.Concurrently participating in another clinical study, at any time during the study period, in which the subject has been or will be exposed to an investigational or a non-investigational vaccine/product (pharmaceutical product or device).
8.Any confirmed or suspected immunosuppressive or immunodeficient condition, based on medical history and physical examination (no laboratory testing required).
9.Family history of congenital or hereditary immunodeficiency.
10.History of allergic disease or history of a serious reaction to any prior vaccination or known hypersensitivity likely to be exacerbated by any component of the study vaccines.
11.Major congenital defects as judged by the PI.
12.History of any neurological disorders, meningitis or seizures.
13.Toddler who has had a sibling die of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) or die suddenly and without apparent other cause or preceding illness in the first year of life.
14.Toddler is a direct descendant (child or grand-child) of any person employed by the Sponsor, the Contract Research Organization (CRO) or the Study Site (including the PI and study site personnel).
15.Acute disease and/or fever at the time of vaccination.
o Fever is defined as the endogenous elevation of at least one measured body temperature of ≥ 38◦C (≥ 100.4◦F).8
16.Acute or chronic, clinically significant pulmonary, cardiovascular, hepatic or renal functional abnormality, as determined by physical examination.
17.Administration of immunoglobulins and/or any blood products during the period starting three months before the administration of study vaccine or planned administration during the study period.
18. Administration of long-acting immune-modifying drugs at any time during the study period.
19. Occurrence of any of the following adverse events after a previous administration of a diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine:
- collapse or shock-like state (hypotonic-hyporesponsive episode) within 48 hours of vaccination,
- convulsions with or without fever, occurring within three days of vaccination.
- Persistent, inconsolable crying lasting more than 3 hours, occurring within 48 hours of vaccination.

Brief Summary  

This is an open label parallel randomised active control, two-arm phase-II comparative study to evaluate safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of two 0.5mL intramuscular doses of 14-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide conjugate vaccine administered 2 months apart to 12-23 month-old healthy Indian PCV-naïve toddlers.

A total of 120 healthy Indian PCV-naïve toddlers will be equally randomised to one of the treatment arms (test and control groups) based on the screening and enrolment criteria set in the protocol. Each subject will  receive a single 0.5 mL dose of the study vaccine intramuscularly i.e., Biological E’s 14-valent PCV without preservative or Pfizer’s Prevenar13®  vaccine, based on the treatment groups to which they are randomised for assessing the safety, tolerability & Immunogenicity.

Only optimal quantity of venous blood sample approximately 3.5 mL for serotype specific anti-PnCPS IgG antibody assay will be drawn twice during the study period, once at screening and again 30 days post second dose.

The study will be conducted in compliance with schedule Y, ICH and Indian good clinical practice guidelines in force.
