Study 1Prevnar 20® (Pneumococcal 20-valent Conjugate Vaccine) immunogenicity in pneumococcal vaccine-naïve adults1
Study 1: Study design
Scroll left to view table
Prevnar 20 was studied in pneumococcal vaccine-naïve patients1
Study description Phase 3 randomized, active-controlled, double-blind, noninferiority clinical trial
Countries United States and Sweden
Age (years) ≥18
Evaluated Safety and noninferior immunogenicity of Prevnar 20 (n=1157-1430) in pneumococcal vaccine-naïve adults as compared to:
  • PCV13 (n=1390-1419) for the 13 shared serotypes in adults age 60 or older
  • PPSV23 (n=1201-1319) for 7 additional serotypes not in PCV13 in adults age 60 or older
  • Noninferior immunogenicity of Prevnar 20 in adults age 18-49 and 50-59 as compared to adults age 60-64 (immunobridging)
Risk factors Healthy and immunocompetent adults with stable underlying conditions, including chronic cardiovascular disease, chronic pulmonary disease, renal disorders, diabetes, chronic liver disease, and medical risk conditions and behaviors (eg, smoking) that are known to increase the risk of serious pneumococcal pneumonia and IPD.
Response measures Immune responses elicited by Prevnar 20 and the control pneumococcal vaccines were measured by OPA assay. Serotype-specific OPA GMTs were measured before vaccination and 1 month after vaccination.

Noninferiority of immune responses was evaluated for adults age 60 
or older.

Immunobridging in adults age 18-59: The effectiveness of Prevnar 20 in adults age 50-59 and in adults age 18-49 was inferred following comparison of the immune response to each of the 20 vaccine serotypes in each of these age groups to the corresponding serotype-specific immune responses in adults age 60-64 following Prevnar 20.
Study 3 evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of 3 lots of Prevnar 20 in pneumococcal vaccine-naïve adults age 18 to 49. 1 GMT=geometric mean titer; IPD=invasive pneumococcal disease; OPA=opsonophagocytic activity; PCV13=Prevnar 13® (Pneumococcal 13-valent Conjugate Vaccine [Diphtheria CRM197 Protein]); PPSV23=23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine. Reference: Prevnar 20® (Pneumococcal 20-valent Conjugate Vaccine) Prescribing Information, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals LLC, 2023.

INDICATIONS AND SELECT SAFETY INFORMATION
  • Prevnar 20® is indicated for active immunization for the prevention of invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F in individuals 6 weeks of age and older
  • Prevnar 20® is indicated for active immunization for the prevention of pneumonia caused by S. pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 18C, 19A, 19F, 22F, 23F, and 33F in individuals 18 years of age and older
  • The indication of Prevnar 20® for the prevention of pneumonia caused by S. pneumoniae serotypes 8, 10A, 11A, 12F, 15B, 22F, and 33F in individuals 18 years of age and older is approved under accelerated approval based on immune responses as measured by opsonophagocytic activity (OPA) assay. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial
  • Prevnar 13® is indicated for active immunization for the prevention of pneumonia and invasive disease caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 1, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14, 18C, 19A, 19F, and 23F in adults 18 years of age and older
Prevnar 13® Limitations of Use: Prevnar 13® will only help protect against S. pneumoniae serotypes in the vaccine

SELECT SAFETY INFORMATION
 
  • Do not administer Prevnar 20® or Prevnar 13® to individuals with severe allergic reaction (eg, anaphylaxis) to any component of Prevnar 20® or Prevnar 13® or to diphtheria toxoid
  • Safety and immunogenicity data on Prevnar 20® are not available for individuals in immunocompromised groups and vaccination should be considered on an individual basis. Based on experience with pneumococcal vaccines, individuals with altered immunocompetence may have reduced immune responses to Prevnar 20®
