What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants Achieving Predefined Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Antibody Concentration Greater Than or Equal to (≥) 0.35 Micrograms Per Milliliter (mcg/mL) Measured 1 Month After Vaccination in Group 1 and 2

    Percentage of participants achieving world health organization (WHO) predefined antibody threshold >=0.35 mcg/mL along with the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) for the 7 common pneumococcal serotypes (serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F) and 6 additional pneumococcal serotypes specific to 13vPnC (serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, and 19A) were presented. Exact 2-sided CI based on observed proportion of participants.

    Measured: 28 to 42 days after dose 2 for Group 1 and 28 to 42 days after dose 1 for Group 2

  2. Geometric Mean Concentration (GMC) for Serotype-specific Pneumococcal Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Antibody Measured 1 Month After Vaccination in Group 3

    Antibody GMC for the 7 common pneumococcal serotypes (serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F) and 6 additional pneumococcal serotypes specific to 13vPnC (serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, and 19A) were presented. GMC (13vPnC) and corresponding 2-sided 95% confidence intervals (CI) were evaluated. Geometric means (GMs) were calculated using all participants with available data for after dose 1 blood draw.

    Measured: 28 to 42 days after dose 1 for Group 3

  3. Serotype-specific Opsonophagocytic Activity (OPA) Geometric Mean Titers (GMTs) 1 Month After Vaccination in Group 3 and 4

    Serotype-specific OPA GMTs for the 7 common pneumococcal serotypes (serotypes 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F, and 23F) and 6 additional pneumococcal serotypes specific to 13vPnC (serotypes 1, 3, 5, 6A, 7F, and 19A) were determined in the blood samples of all the participants using a microcolony OPA (mcOPA) assay. GMT (13vPnC) and corresponding 2-sided 95% CI were evaluated. GMs were calculated using all participants with available data for after dose 1 blood draw.

    Measured: 28 to 42 days after dose 1 for Group 3 and 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing 13 valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in people with Healthy Subjects, run by Pfizer at 36 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 36 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Aug 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants Achieving Predefined Serotype-specific Immunoglobulin G (IgG) Antibody Concentration Greater Than or Equal to (≥) 0.35 Micrograms Per Milliliter (mcg/mL) Measured 1 Month After Vaccination in Group 1 and 2 (time frame: 28 to 42 days after dose 2 for Group 1 and 28 to 42 days after dose 1 for Group 2). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00761631, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Jul 2026.
